On the surface, the 2008 movie
Taken directed by
Pierre Morel and written by
Luc Besson ( he was busy directing
Arthur cartoons ) is about how it is dangerous for little girls to be in the world. And about how awful the human trafficking is. And about how good, people who fuck up human traffickers are. But then, out of nowhere, it makes people cheer when a guy is buying an underage girl at a human trafficking auction. As if, it makes you think: Is Luc Besson just trying to show
Quentin Tarantino that he is a master of corrupting the audience?

The Naked Gun ( 2025 ) is a descent movie about enshitification, but not as funny as the originals

Paramount snatched "The Naked Gun" / "Police Squad" rights from
Jerry Zucker and
Jim Abrahams and instead gave the material to a different Jew
Akiva Schaffer to adopt. And while Schaffer is a good comedy / parody director, it seems like the movie ended up being just "merely clever".
