Andrew Garfield Warns Billionaires To Be Scared Then Complains Peasant Revolt Was Miserable
By BSN Staff, . BSN Network. Satire.
LOS ANGELES, CA. Andrew Garfield, the multimillion-dollar Hollywood actor best known for playing a radioactive spider's best friend, stood before a Los Angeles screening audience this week and issued a stark warning to the global billionaire class.
They should, he said, be scared.
The source of this fear is 'The Uprising,' a historical action drama depicting England's 1381 Peasants' Revolt, in which ordinary working people, crushed beneath the weight of feudal taxation and aristocratic contempt, rose up against a system designed to grind them into the earth.
Garfield plays one of these people. He was paid to do this.
'It was miserable,' Garfield told the audience, in remarks that sources confirm were delivered without any audible awareness of what he had just said in the previous two sentences.
The actor elaborated on the misery, citing factors including physical exhaustion, harsh outdoor conditions, and the emotional toll of inhabiting a character with no financial safety net, no publicist, and no hotel with a functioning spa.
The original peasants of 1381, who were genuinely ground into the earth by a system of hereditary serfdom and faced execution for the act of protest Garfield was paid to simulate, were not available for comment, largely because they have been dead for six hundred and forty-four years.
A spokesperson for the film's production company described the shoot as 'an immersive and physically demanding exploration of historical suffering,' which is the kind of sentence that costs four hundred dollars an hour to produce.
Audience member Derek Poole, 34, who works two jobs and describes his current apartment as 'fine if you don't open the bathroom window,' said he found Garfield's warning to billionaires 'pretty inspiring, actually.'
'I thought it was brave,' Poole said. 'Standing up there. At a film screening. In Los Angeles. To say that.'
Poole has not yet seen the film. Tickets are sixteen dollars, which he noted is 'not nothing.'
Garfield, to his credit, has never claimed to be a peasant. He has claimed to be an artist, which is a different category of suffering with significantly better craft services.
Industry analysts note that the billionaires Garfield addressed have not publicly responded to the warning, possibly because they were not at the screening, possibly because they do not watch films about peasant revolts, and possibly because the gap between a man who found a film shoot miserable and a man who owns a superyacht is not quite the revolutionary aperture that a Los Angeles Q&A is designed to close.
Production on a follow-up film, tentatively titled 'The Uprising 2,' is reportedly in early development. Garfield has not confirmed his involvement but is understood to be available, provided the conditions are less miserable this time.
The billionaires remain, for now, unscared.
