The boys were not supposed to go to Jupiter, an anti -capitalist masterpiece

In the author / director Julian GlanderThe new science fiction feature of animation Children go to JupiterSmall disturbing worker named Billy 5000 (Planet moneyJacques Corbett) transfers his way through life in Florida with only one thing that is in his mind: he needs $ 5,000 and is ready to provide the most food to make money. Initially, it appears that the thinking method of the semi -magical delivery man appears to be stemming from his installation on Hustlebro Streamer videos. But as Children go to JupiterA story reveals, it becomes clear that all the film’s characters have somewhat strange and mixed relationships with money.

Children go to Jupiter Holds musical, fun, and aesthetic, and aesthetic that many Glander works, whether it is short trousers Tennis ball on the day of its vacation Or games like Art Squool. But the new movie focus on how the economy that can distort the lives of people makes it feel very different.

This is especially true in the moments that Children go to Jupiter Brakes in the ways in which food delivery platforms can be published from their humanity and their shortcomings, and Gander seems to use services to highlight the reason why capitalism is bad. But when I recently spoken to Glander, he told me that his intention was not really a work hostile to the capital. Glander wanted to make a movie about the links that society seemed to have lost since the peak of the Covid-19s. This is hoping for Children go to JupiterThe masses find some inspiration to make their art.

I talked about how the psychosis caused by the epidemic and interaction with the birth workers during the early years of the epidemic is part of what inspired you to start working on it Children go to Jupiter. I am very curious to hear your thoughts about whether people are able to get rid of this psychosis and develop a deeper estimate of the party workers at that time.

Perhaps psychosis is not the most sensitive word to be used, but think about the national level, and this is what we have seen – a type of hysteria. One thing was very disappointing is the way we did not learn any lessons from the epidemic. I think the national position towards the epidemic is “What is the epidemic?” We are no longer talking about it anymore. The anti -society rituals that we have developed to keep ourselves are still safe from this disease in place, and the rituals that I really install are delivery without contact, which, as you know, are frictional.

In theory, it is better for workers because they do not have to wait until you open the door and talk to you. It is better for many people who get the food to deliver because they do not want to get this reaction. But it is also very not human because it robs one of the most sacred and important things about eating a meal, which communicates with the person who prepared it.

How did you do Children go to JupiterA story that develops with your progress in the production process?

It was surprising to me when the reviews started to appear, and the type of movie tied as a film anti -capitalist because that was not at the top of my mind when I was writing. I am not sure that it is hostile to capitalism; It only has capital, and it revolves around life under capitalism. It is difficult to talk about it without coinciding with as an anti -capitalism because this system is bad.

The film started as a very fictional story about this boy who gets a foreigner. But when I wrote that and started working with the actors’ team, it became more and more than work because it was an obsession for me and something I think many people want to see more stories.

What are the types of ideas about people’s relationships with money and capitalism that you were keen to explore here?

Jack (Corbet) Planet money Tiktoks I really got my wheels, which turned into this idea of ​​economics, something greater than just a section of the newspaper or something in it Economic. It made me think of economics as a cultural power or even religion. My way to write these characters for the film is that each of them resembles the different sect or the different faith in a rich rich in wealth. Because almost every character in the movie thinks that one day, they will be rich, whether it is a profitable lottery ticket, from their hustle, or from their inheritance, or something more magical than that. I think this type of thinking is a global American position.

I was in Target on the last day and many people were shopping for school. I saw this girl looking at the classic Kitchenaid mixer, and she said to her friend, “When I am rich, I will get one of these in my kitchen.” This is a natural thing out of saying, and I think we all expressed some difference in this feeling.

Talk to me about what Jacques Corbette brought to Pelly as a character.

Jack really does something really special with this character. For people who know Jack Tiktoks, Pelly is. There are clips in the movie that you feel essential Planet money. There is a part where Billy describes the type of currency he is doing, then there is a scene where he reads this economic theory that he wrote in the nineteenth century that we wrote together. But he also brought a lot of his life and his feeling of incitement to the movie. When I sent him the text, he wrote me again an hour later and said: “There is no way you can know this, but I was a pizza boy in high school.” It is like, I felt just like fate.

Mr. MOOLAH is such an unsuccessful character, but also feels an ideal crystallization of YouTube Hustlebro and a kind of sad and desperate energy that is baked in it. Do you think about it and its duct as a predatory presence?

I have never had the opportunity to talk about this. Mr. MOOLAH was originally written as DJ Local Radio to guide us through the film’s beats, such as Sam Jackson In Do the right thing Or like a DJ radio WarriorsLike, “warriors are now walking in the tunnel.” That version of Mr. Molla was one of the many elements of the film where I looked more, I said: “This is not contemporary. This is not the way people live now. This is the type Spielberg from the reality in which this movie does not happen. The same thing was with Billy. It has begun riding a wonderful bike, and it is like a cold bike, well, this is only this only. Et This is not what children are doing now.

Mr. Moolah, who we see in the film, has a universal view of money, which I think people really started to adopt after the epidemic began. It was a lot of bustle culture in 2010 about this idea that if you give up your sleep and your life, you will make money. But with the outbreak of reality, this is not always possible, we have seen a rise in the mutation of the self -culture / new crowd that mainly says, “There is a certain amount of money that you communicate with.” This is actually true. It is not magical, but in a realistic way of economic methods. We are all born largely with a certain set of income that we can somewhat expect, and there is no amount of movement as much as we would like to think about it.

To return to your actual question, I don’t think Mr. Molla is a predator because he only gets a hundred views. I was watching a lot of specific YouTube videos like Moolah, which was just a man at the worst quality camera ever, with a little white painting, saying that things are completely meaningful to drown with people and make a change in their lives.

If we get out of Mr. Moula, it is possible that he will live in a person’s garage or live in his parents ’house. It is not like Gary Finnchok, Andrew Tate, or the man who always loves, “sells this pen for me.” He wants to be one of these people who built an empire on fraud, but like anyone else in the movie, it is very low.

We live at this strange moment where a few people flow artificial intelligence as a tool Children go to JupiterWhich was made with the mixer-free and open source programs. What effects do you think Gen AI are on people’s creativity?

I think there are a number of negative effects, clearly. It prevents people from really learning how to make art or express themselves alone. I think many creative and young people in particular, deprive themselves of the opportunity to struggle and learn how to draw or deprive themselves of the opportunity to embarrass the bad drawing they did. This is a personal journey that everyone can go through, but the most frightening thing for me about this type of artificial intelligence is the way to be used to crush workers ’strength.

It does not really provide good results, but it can still be used to reduce wages, and even just a kind of threat that is looming on the horizon can be used to suppress people and get people out of work. I feel very confrontation with workers now. This is what I was thinking about during the past three years. So I think this is the thing with artificial intelligence – no one really knows what it is. He does not really do what he returns, so all we can do is the kind of project that we are obsessed with.

And why were you a constant supporter of the mixer?

If you want to talk about the actual promise to give a democratic character to art and creativity, this is what it is already. It is not a machine to do everything for you. It is a society that works together. The things that made me work in Blender for 12 years now are that the program is open source, developers listen to and make things for their users, and society makes things to each other. You may have seen a thousand educational programs on YouTube to make this movie.

when flow He won the Best Animation Award this year, felt satisfied. I was like, “this is my software there. This is like my small computer program there. It’s very strong, and it’s free.

You are big in Connecting shapes with concepts and feelings. If the current atmosphere in the country – the atmosphere, the mood – can be transformed into a shape, what shape it will be? What about the Internet in 2025?

I think, at the present time, the mood of the country is a thorny shape – like a dog game or a ball with a lot of nails. There is a real feeling of tension throughout the country. Things are very unstable, but also the end of the summer, the time when people really raise. I actually think that the Internet will be the opposite. In 2025, the Internet resembles a very smooth rock you can find on the beach. It has become, over time, generously and smoothly in a kind of irresistible object, without friction.

It is difficult to say whether I am older, I think there is a general feeling that the Internet loses its charm and that it has become very similar to cable TV, QVC, or another old thing we thought we left behind. The flow of information is no longer multi -directional, and this for me, for me, makes the Internet feel like a flat rock from the beach.
