I still adore this movie.
It just makes me feel so many things.
Investigating how malleable children are is such an interesting choice amidst all of the Gundam stories, but I particularly like how it deals with the appeal of fascism to an uncritical mind. The aesthetic an simple solutions seem obvious to her mind, but she's never really experienced anything to make her think about this before. She even says she's never left Earth, yet she is immediately taken…
I'm so mad I delayed watching this.
It combines my favorite aspects of ZZ and F91 into something that gives me the same feelings that Zeta did.
Some of the most gut-wrenching Gundam moments for me, plus maybe my favorite score of the series.
The ending had me gasping. Last 2-3 episodes just rock your world.
I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long time.
No subtext, just a view into Coppola's mind.
Visually enthralling, saw some stuff I'd never seen before.
Love the score.
Issues: occasional horrible ADR, some iffy backgrounds, and a few scenes that feel like they were added to stitch other scenes together.
I do think this is truly inspired though, and the flaws help tell you what Coppola was thinking.
Love to see the on-the-nose satire of Bong Joon-ho. It felt to me like he was really flexing his Verhoeven muscles because this is hilarious.
A few highlights:
- The creepers look remind me of Ohmu
- Ruffalo does the stupid Trump dance
- Attractive people
- The entire score
- Robby chose an amazing voice for this role
