26th viewing. People on letterboxd love to leave reviews like "can't believe this movie invented x," but I say with not a hint of exaggeration that this movie being made is on the level of prometheus giving humanity the gift of civilization. Even just calling this a movie is like calling the sun a light bulb.

The Monkey King 3 2018
Two-and-a-half years after my last viewing of The Monkey King 3, my 23rd viewing at that point, I've returned to my favorite film with fresh eyes and a renewed perspective on film only to reach the same conclusion now as I did back then: this is still the greatest film ever made. It is the apex of all cinematic innovation before it, casting a boundless shadow over any film unfortunate enough to be made after it. The final, indisputable accomplishment of the motion picture medium, making derivative even the most timeless masterpieces film has or will ever produce since.
