Megalopolis Review & Thoughts

[@Bruthole]

I liked the part where John Voight shot Audrey Plaza. I stood up in the theater and shouted, "Now THATS cinema"

The boner portion is when I really knew

Watching Shia Lebeouf give head to Aubrey Plaza definitely wasn't on my 2024 movie bingo

[@cheetosleopard9861]

Man your exactly right on the Aubrey Plaza thing they literally have her make a parks and Rec reference

Thanks for firming up my decision to get stoned silly before watching.

Thanks you for your Review .Megalopolis the Francis Ford Coppola film 2024. I thought it was fantastic. Loved it despite the critics stuck in their remake blockbusters attitudes. I find a triple parallel in the storytelling. The first parallel story back in the late 70s after fuel shortage scientist and engineers came up with a thing called solar panels. Jimmy Carter put them on the White House. Then Ronald Reagan took them off White House. The trend in the 80ts started making giant gas guzzling vehicles again. now in 2024 I have a complete solar house and electric car fantastic technology it works , The status quo gas guzzlers consider it WOKE or bad to use these modern technologies to empower our lives. People are not willing to change. Number two parallel, the film Megalopolis has a scientist, engineer and architect that creates a substance Megalon that will build a better future. The status quo in the story Megalopolis does not want to accept this new modern technology and are not willing to change. The number three parallel Francis Ford Coppola produces this movie he maid something different. Francis took a fairly simple plot, painted it with his lens, writing depth, history and artistic interpretation. Megalopolis is getting good reviews by small percentage of critics. The status quo film reviews of these franchise, blockbuster, repeat and remake movies. These critics who didn’t want to understand the film. They took the easy way out by dismissing the film as a confusing mess and then complain about the green screen or a number of irrelevant bitchy complaints .It’s having issues at the box office because people are not willing to accept change or even look at it in art or film. But sometime in the future people will realize that we need change. We need art and science to help us break our old habits and create a better world. The film hopefully will be honored down the road when people are willing to accept a new and better future.

My favourite part was the vaguely racist mystical music that played when Adam Driver revealed his bandaged head near the end. It doesn't make any sense to add that music cue other than it's silly and adds a bit of flavour, those are the moments I liked and I wish there was more of it.

@@spandytube It didn’t seem vaguely racist to me but yeah that was definitely an odd moment I didn’t think about it until you reminded me haha

My brain stopped at 29 seconds with the image of a Citroen DS (maybe it's an SM, its hard to tell because its small) in a snow globe. Kinda like Captain Kirk when he confronted the Landru computer in Star Trek s2e24. Or like Wile E Coyote being hit in the head with an Acme anvil in (all?) the episodes of The Roadrunner. I am baffled beyond the point of catatonia as to why anyone would include the oddest, most unwanted automobile as a visual anchor in a multi-million dollar movie. I don't think coffee or energy drinks will get me through this. I've been staring at this screen for a half hour. Send help.

Man Adam Driver is having a bad run after Star Wars sequel trilogy.
