This director seems to view mentally ill as people with some pitiful existence

Rating: 1/10 (9 October 2019)

While I think Hangover 1 is absolutely a masterpiece and work of genius, but Todd Phillips seems to have a troglodyte's view of people who are...'different'.
I know the movie makes fun of everyone, but it lampoons Alan's character as typical, stereotypical guy who is socially awkward with shelves filled with books who says the most inappropriate stuffs at the wrong time. While all his friends seemed to have hot girlfriends, this idiotic director somehow thinks he can't and will not do better with the most unpalatable match in a cringe worthy lollipop sucking scene.
I would have given it a 3 star but Todd Phillips - it seems without watching the new Joker movie- is carrying on his schtick as if mentally ill tends to be loners, incels, socially awkward...
"But...but...look how FUNNY Alan is!! They made him the hero. He can recall everything in a cool meditative session and jive with kids. He is almost a lovable, fat Buddha whose statue you see in a laundromat."
Well STOP making him a hero then. Stop trying to make 'them' - the people with vague, subjective illness (and trust me I know everything about it first hand) into some sort of stock character. This director is probably the type who will invite a bunch of Italians and go: "Hey!! Welcome! Came a bit late. So what do you Italians love? Pasta? Right? Great. I made some meatballs."
Well STOP ffin trying to make them/these character and these people quote unquote better. You are not helping and only muddling and messing the whole thing up.
They made Alan so desperately begging for friendship that it is just pukeworthy. I know Zach Galafanakias.. or however the hell you spell his name is a total stud and amazingly funny and creative and can help himself as he is a big boy and he doth get all the ladies and Oscar stars... but that is beyond the point.
This moronic idiotic director thoroughly detached from reality and sees everything in frat party black and white eyes as if people like Alan craves and needs attention and are so pitiful and woe-is-I and poor-little-me who will die otherwise without a social touch is disparaging, insulting, degrading to people who are deemed by society as otherwise aberrant and what not.
This guy wouldn't find nuance if it was giant sledgehammer in a donut store. And he gives me extra reason to deliberately hate on the Joker movie and gladly pass it on without getting on with the bandwagon and hype as if we should celebrate HIS distorted view (and albeit a butchered image of the iconic villain) that mentally ill people are loners who needs a little hug.
Finally, without veering onto his new crappy movie and Alan, the movie in general was 'ok'. Had some funny moments, Chow was overdone and over milked and it broke the template which was refreshing. It was a bit dark and had some crass humor but that was to be expected. Would've given it a 3 or a solid 5/6 but this person seems totally out of touch with reality.
Here's an idea Todd Phillips. Maybe go to your local group therapy session of a psychiatry department and find how totally normal we people are and we don't need to have people pitifully patting us ending up ffing an old, fat, dyed hair hag.
Thanks.
