A movie that transcends the plane of ‘cinema.’ There is as much horror to be had as joy. A film whose script makes no sense, and is reduced to Mike Myers attempting to give the audience PTSD. Don’t even get me started on how they animated the motion of Thing 1 and Thing 2. Not even Ari Aster can recreate such sinister evil.
2 and a half because I think this is what I call an accidental renaissance.
Conflicted…
Let me say off the bat that this is a movie in which any rating from 0-5 makes sense. If you view the film as exploitative of a culture, or excessive in its portrayal of violence, or full of historical inaccuracies (or a dislike of Gibsons politics) that make you form negative opinions about the film, I understand. As a recreation of history, its inaccurate. But if you view it as an independent, Hollywood epic? My goodness it’s something…
