I just watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga for the first time and ??????? It was really fun! Deeply weird though. It had three good jokes that really worked for me:
1. Salvador Sobral’s song (I really love it, it won for a reason) being an absolutely magical piece of ost that was revealed to be sung by him as a street musician performing for money, which shows you the true cultural significance of the competition, sorry.
2. The fact that it was obvious from the first second that the Russian singer was gay.
3. Will Ferrell hating on Americans.
It’s really weird to know it’s an American movie because I don’t see it working out there at all. I liked everything that wasn’t straight from a script writer’s textbook (misunderstandings, forced conflict etc). But yeah, I had a lot of fun! It was weird!
I have to admit, I finally got round to watching this, I enjoyed the story of fire saga. LOVED the Eurovision contestant cameos. It was a good story, enjoyed all of the characters, especially Alexander and Mita. Really hated how much of a loser Lars was though. They could have toned down the patheticness of the man.
I know it's only march but I've been listening to the Eurovision-movie song (Double Trouble) so much already & I'm NOT ready for Will Ferrell to be in my next Spotify wrapped 💀💀💀
