Here's A Little Analytical Article About My New "Favorite" Movie

You probably think I'm obsessed with this movie. That's because I am.

Here's A Little Analytical Article About My New "Favorite" Movie
Sausage Party Twitter

I could've made a terrible pun about hot dogs and sausages in the subheading, but I didn't. You're very welcome.

First of all, this movie is not for children. If you're reading this article and you're under 17 (since that's the age a kid can see an "R" movie unsupervised), stop reading this article. Now. At this point. Right here. Stop. At this line. | Because this shit is about to get so real.

In broader terms, this movie basically talks about how supermarket foods literally have lives of their own, and see their lives as ones that should please the "gods". Who are the gods? Humans. According to this movie, supermarket foods see humans as literal gods. In my terminology, "that's wild".

These supermarket foods worship the gods, and they believe that, when they are "picked" by the gods, they go to "the great beyond". In the movie, "the great beyond" is seen as a wonderful, happy, eternal place to the food. Of course, they realize what we humans know--that the foods are actually "killed", and that we eat them for our own good.


I may only be 20, but the only movie I have ever seen that is probably the "trippiest" movie I've ever seen. You should know, lovely readers, I'm not promoting drugs, I'm just saying that sometimes creative people can get just a tad bit more creative if they're on something like cannabis. You know what I mean?

Okay, if you don't get it, I'll back up my argument. Shall we go on?

I don't make my argument about the connection between cannabis usage without any sort of credible source (I do mean credible sources, so from other people). There's even a clip from the show Real Time With Bill Maher of Seth Rogen describing how his artistic and comedic abilities have many times originated from smoking cannabis.

I bring up this point because I think that this movie truly dove deep into an area which had never been covered before: that is, the minds of supermarket foods (and, of course, a supermarket douche. A literal douche. I'll get back to that point later, though). In fact, it's fairly simple to see that a movie that covers this out-of-the-box idea of what life would be like if food could think and talk and operate similar to how humans do could be categorized as an R-rated film. After all, look at where food does go when it leaves the Supermarket? To our stomachs.

Now, things get even more psychedelic and innovative as the movie goes on. A frizzy-haired, bum-like, obvious stoner--played by James Franco--and who is only known throughout the movie as "Druggie"--shoots up bath salts and

Read that sentence above again. Seriously. Isn't that insane? Who comes up with these things? To be honest, only a team of Rogen, Franco, Kristen Wiig, Paul Rudd, Bill Hader, Michael Cera along with many more names could come up with an idea that's just about as innovative as the plot line of this movie. The last time I saw something this abstract was when I saw the 1968 movie "Yellow Submarine", a Beatles movie which totally blew my mind.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
