White Noise Preview

The absurdist comedy-drama White Noise is a loose adaptation of Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel of the same name.

The movie is about a professor of “Hitler Studies” named Jack Gladney. He has four kids and a wife named Babette, who is taking a mysterious drug called Dylar behind his back.

So thinks Jack. But their lives are turned upside down when a nearby train crash causes an “Airborne Toxic Event,” in which a massive cloud of toxic waste spreads over their hometown. As the family and the rest of the town try to leave, Jack accidentally gets exposed to the chemical cloud. What happens next could be fatal…

White Noise Review

“White Noise” misses the mark by a wide margin when it comes to finding the right balance between absurdity and reality. We were looking for something good to watch and scrolling through our options when we came across this title. It was called an “absurdist comedy.” We’ve been into the genre lately, and when we saw Adam Driver’s face in the movie trailer, we decided to go for it.

At first, we thought “White Noise” was taking its time getting started. We did it because we believed in him, wanted to laugh, and wanted to get our brains tickled. That didn’t happen much. When you think you’re funny, that’s always a mistake. If you’re not funny, you should at least be interested right away.

Please forgive our lack of knowledge, but is Hitler only taught in universities? It’s one thing to teach about the Holocaust, but it sounds strange to only talk about Hitler. But let’s assume that the absurdity was precisely what the creators wanted to show. Because of this, the side stories didn’t go together, and much of what was happening on screen didn’t make sense.

We can see that to enjoy “absurdist comedy,” you need to have a particular point of view. It’s not about how the movie as a whole makes you feel. Instead, it’s about how you feel right now. With that point of view, it’s funny that no one in the family can straightforwardly talk to each other.

It’s funny that Jack and Murray are confused by the death of a coworker because they think supermarkets are places where people go for secret therapy (which we agree with) and because the way Jack was told he might die was ridiculous. And the idea of death comes up over and over again in the movie.

Our main character, Jack Gladney, is afraid of death and anything that might make it seem like his life isn’t perfect. He is so scared of these things that he is willing to hide even the things that seem like big problems.

When his daughter tells him about one of his wife’s bad habits, he brushes it off as one of the “secrets of a marriage,” even though it hurts his wife. He seems to love her, but he is so stubborn about keeping up the appearance of happiness that he is almost being careless. At one point, he even says that his biggest fear is death and that everything he does in life, from not wanting to fight to be obsessed with Hitler because he is “bigger than death,” is an attempt to “out-think” it.

But things don’t go how he wants, especially after the accident, which caused a lot of chaos. But let’s talk about Babette for a minute before we talk about him because that’s how long it will take. She is a housewife who doesn’t know much about anything. She seems sad and is taking pills, which she keeps from her family. She also seems to forget things, which her whole family notices, but only her daughter cares about. Jack keeps making excuses for it because it goes against his nature to think anything wrong could ever happen to him.

He has made up a story about his wife and their life together. He says that Babette is his expressive, manic pixie, his perfect opposite and that she always makes his overthinking brain happy. Maybe that’s why he didn’t believe for a long time that she could be having a problem. But there are other problems with his life and the movie. Some of the funniest movies we’ve seen are about sad things. It’s weird because it has such a deep understanding of how people live.

After the event, the way the media was portrayed reminded me of the confusion caused by the global pandemic the world just went through. Everyone was trying to figure out what was happening in uncharted territory. Even the authorities and “White Noise” got that right.

The pointlessness of life and death, how people interact with each other, and how hard it is to find happiness in the midst of it all. The family’s everyday life is thrown off by an accident that has an unexpected result. When everything seems to be back to normal, there is a new problem that has nothing to do with the first one, and dealing with it leads to more disconnected absurdity.

It all fits with the absurdist theme, but there is no reason. But we can’t get past the fact that the movie isn’t interesting enough, no matter how we view it.

But to give credit where credit is due, the movie’s best parts were the dialogue and the way it was written. We could see “White Noise” is true to its name, especially when everyone in the family was talking over each other. And when the family was driving to a safe place, the kids were very much in character. The son thought he was better than everyone else, as most teenagers do at that age, and Denise was trying not to be tired. At the same time, her youngest daughter kept asking questions that made the conversation longer and full of false information that gave her a migraine.

It was a beautiful scene that made us laugh out loud. Also, the screenplay writer, Noah Baumbach, knew what he was supposed to do. He knew how to use the pictures to show how crazy things were. But some parts were a little strange, like the pink background in the supermarket or one or two parts of the evacuation scene. We are curious to know if it was a creative choice made by the screenwriter or if someone else was trying to make up for the weak plot.

And while we’re talking about things that don’t make sense, we’d like to talk about how the scene where Jack Gladney and his friend talk about Elvis and Hitler at the same time was way too dramatic. We knew it was to make the accident that was going to happen more exciting, but it went on and on for no reason.

We haven’t decided what we think about “White Noise” because it was so surprisingly bland. The actors gave it their all, but “White Noise” doesn’t go anywhere because it has a lousy script that doesn’t make sense. Yes, the conversations are dangerously intelligent, but the plots aren’t that interesting.

Maybe the part of the story about the disaster and what happened after it is still valid, but the rest isn’t. We kept looking at the clock because we couldn’t wait for this to end. But we thought the story and its basic idea had promise. A better writer is needed until it realises that “White Noise” is not a good movie.

We are giving this star rating based on the trailer now; after release, it may change.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
