If you are not an Arachnophobe, this film whose main theme is about loneliness might be quite interesting for you.
And yes, it's certainly interesting to see Adam Sandler in a "serious" film again here, and when else will you see Paul Dano as a spider, right? 😂
The title: Spaceman
The story is about Jakub Procházka, a cosmonaut who was on a solo expedition, starting to feel lonely after serving for more than ½ year.
Not long after that... a giant, unclear spider suddenly appeared on Jakub's plane 🙃
This film has quite slow pacing, and its positioning really looks like a film with a lot of dialogue.
But what is quite interesting is that the innocent questions from Hanus the spider make the film not as boring as we imagined.
Hanus the unclear spider has an interesting appeal, especially because the questions he asks will feel relatable and may be quite surprising for some people.
Growing up, work… and loneliness. Quite an interesting theme, isn't it?
Watching this film, which is adapted from a novel entitled Spaceman of Bohemia, feels like listening to conversations and stories of adults about life, but it's wrapped in just a little bit of space drama... but it feels just right.
If there's something that bothers me about this film, it's the formation of Hanus, why does it have to be like that?? It's quite annoying and actually makes you uncomfortable 💀
Moreover, there is quite a lot of screen time and there are lots of close up shots of this Giant Spider. It's ticklish hahaha.
The point is, if you need a "just chat" film that has a theme about loneliness and you don't have a problem with slow pacing, this could be an interesting option. Nothing really great but nothing that ends up being really boring either.
