Cinephili and tribute references to the 90s: the review of the film
Adam Sandler is a comedian much loved by the public but little appreciated by criticism. His boyish and cialtrone is completed with a large dose of non -trivial irony, on the Jewish model of the “Schmuck”. Either they are worshiped or detested. This dualism revealed itself to the night of the Oscar 2025. Sitting between the audience with a very casual lookhe exchanged two jokes with the presenter Conan O’Brian, who pointed out his clothing not suitable for a gala evening.
For some it was a gag to criticize the superficiality of the world of cinema. Others have seen a reference to the embarrassing moment when Trump scolded Zelensky for not having dressed well at their peace interview. Many, however, have stamped it as a meaningless nonsense. Perhaps it is for this reason that in Hollywood they did not give too much weight to its stratospheric interpretation in the dramatic Rough diamondsdirected by the SaFdie brothers.
Sandler creates the figure of Happy Gilmore in his image and likeness. With the indolent gaze, often the victim of his own temperament, lives A world in which the last one still arrives first. The long prologue of training is a mix of parodic references a Rocky And Karate Kid. There is even a playful reference to the staircase of Joker and a surreal touch of Squid Game. An unpredictable type 2 is a gift to the character of the nineties e to an entertainment cinema, however crazy and distinct, capable of maintaining substance between one laugh and another.
