Is this here because Miles Bron is an anagram for Elon is Mr B? "It’s practically a hit piece on Elon Musk" yeah duh, author must be a real smart one. Don't usually see movie reviews here otherwise. I thought it was pretty good, quite funny at times, fun mystery. I liked first one better but by no means was it bad.
- HWR_14 4y agoThe character has an obsession with repeating a single letter in his company names/products and big sources of changing the world are rockets, cars, and a news site. He also is clearly into crypto (if you look at the background). It's not a far leap.
- adrian_b 4y agoI admit that I have also wondered whether there is any allusion to Elon, mainly because he is a notorious eccentric CEO. Nevertheless, I have been amused by this movie much more than I assume that most of its viewers have been, because Miles Bron, more than resembling what I know about Elon, had an uncanny resemblance to the CEO of a startup where I have worked some years ago. The resemblance was complete, in behavior, in speech, in the dyslexic words invented continuously, in the content of the fax messages with product feature suggestions (though my CEO used e-mail, not fax). So I wonder how many such CEOs exist and whether the script writer has completely made up the Miles Bron character or he has indeed used a real-life CEO as inspiration.

- morelisp 4y agoIt's absolutely wild to see people on this forum of all places saying they can't relate to the characters' social interactions. Thanks for a laugh even after the film is over, Rian.
