THE WRATH OF BECKY (2023)

I've been thinking a lot about "Eat The Rich" movies and stories recently, after watching Salt Burn, and I'm starting to wonder what other people mean when they say "Eat The Rich". It seems like it's mostly catharsis, they want to see retribution against the wealthy, which I have no issue with, but it often seems like all that it is.

They want to see billionaires on pikes, and these sort of stories do that, but there is rarely any sign of the systems that create the power/wealth disparity are being destroyed.

Salt Burn kills their wealthy characters but at the hands of someone who wants to usurp them.

The Menu has a Chef who has grown resentful that the definition of a successful chef is serving the elite instead of serving the best food to the masses. So he kills some rich people, and himself. That doesn't change anything.

In Knives Out, the working class protagonist ousts the wealthy family, but now she's the one with access to wealth and nothing changes.

These films are a little like the Becky films (Becky and The Wrath of Becky), films I have previously labelled as popcorn films for Anti-Fascists. Simple, uncomplicated Neo-Nazis getting killed in satisfying ways. It's catharsis. It's validates our values.

But saying your favourite film is a popcorn Anti-Fascist film or a popcorn "Eat The Rich" film isn't activism, it's fandom. Even if you show those films to your conservative friends or family, I doubt it's going to challenge their worldview.

"Eat The Rich" is a threat when shouted at the Rich and Powerful, not as much of a threat when you're yelling it at a fictional version while giving money to Jeff Bezos while watching Salt Burn on Amazon Prime. And the end goal of "Eat The Rich" should be the dismantling of unequal systems of power, not just cathartic violence.

THE WRATH OF BECKY- 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Better than Becky.

Its basically the same as the first movie. Criminals piss off Becky and shes out for revenge. But the kills are bigger and better and the story is more interesting. Also as a villian, Seann William Scott is way better than Kevin James was in the first one.

The end was interesting, setting up Becky joining the C.I.A and presumably facing off against Rob Schneider in Becky 3.
