No one made me watch this. I chose this.
this was legit a 2 hour movie about a girl getting sexually assaulted about six or seven times with a bullshit loose plot, this being a comedy and barely getting a chuckle out of me. why do men?? i feel like that was the point of the movie, that men are blinded by their horniness but i think the director forgot to not be blinded by his own. repulsive, offensive. one star only for the sets, costumes, makeup, the gay kiss and ewa aulin’s hair.
Ringo Starr brown-faces as a Mexican gardener who sexually takes advantage of Ewa Aulin, while Richard Burton, playing a crazy rock star poet, has sex with a mannequin, who may or may not be sentient.
Do I need to go on?
A movie about a high school girl named Candy who is essentially every mans fantasy; she's super hot, super horny, and basically has the intelligence of a 5 year old. Throughout the movie she meets different men who find her so irresistible that they aggressively try to have sex with her. These men include a famous poet, a groundskeeper, a famous surgeon, an army general, a movie director, a hunchback, a guru, and her own uncle. She's basically down to fuck any of these dudes. Did I mention the actors who play these men? Marlon Brando, Ringo Starr, Walter Mattheau, John Huston, Richard Burton, James Coburn, John Astin, among others. The talent involved with this movie is mind-boggling considering how trashy the premise is. But I gotta say that I've never seen anything else quite like this. I was stoned out of my mind watching this in awe that something this bat-shit even exists.
you know it's gonna be racist when the core audience is lana del rey fans
#2014Regrets: Two-hours of excessive late 60s psychedelic pandemonium and not a single ounce of any illicit substance to my name. This Buck Henry scripted adaptation of a Terry Southern novel had me reeling all over the place. Sure it's funny in spots, and the novelty of all the big name stars went further than I thought it would, but holy hell is it repetitive. The satire seems to be aimed at men in power, revealing them to be vapid, hypocritical egomaniacal rapists who hide behind ideological and professional fronts, but this leaves the titular Candy (the gorgeous Ewa Aulin) nothing to do but be repeatedly victimized in each scenario. Sure I laughed, but I felt gross about it. Extra gross…
An absolutely brutal, exhausting and trashy satire on the misogyny and sexualisation of women. All the men in the film operated under false pretences, advertising solid virtues but later being revealed as scummy manipulative pieces of garbage. This drives Candy to absolute insanity, with everyone treating her like an object rather than the young perceptive woman that she is. There is also an undercurrent of societies dissatisfaction with the patriarchy and capitalism.
All the different industries (symbolised by the fields of work the various men work under) let Candy down and this culminates in a spiritual search which ends up raising more questions than answering. While a bit less cynicism and more variety would've been appreciated, I do think this…
i only put five stars because ewa aulin is actually god herself
— were they high when they made this movie ? cuz this is one of the weirdest shits i’ve ever watched, and i watched a lot of weird shit ! can someone please explain to me what is marlon brando doing in this movie ?!
(the main actress is gorgeous & this movie is pretty, but that doesn’t make me less sad cause i lost 2 hours of my life in this.)
all of candy's outfits are so cute
I, a grown adult with great decision-making skills, actively chose to watch this sexist,racist garbage.
Men suck, I don't think I needed two hours of a nymphet getting caught up in sexual antics to know that
