I know a lot of people didn't like it, but I loved Megalopolis. It's so ambitious, has great cinematography, and it's weird. I thought it was well acted and will be a cult classic in a decade. It is a little weird that the main character is the only person with a superpower (stopping time) and it has almost no impact on the story, but that just adds to the weird appeal for me.
Megaopolis and Babylon are weirdly similar to me and I can't really explain it. I enjoyed Megaopolis and would watch it again. Especially Wow Platinum lol. Such a weird movie. So many scenes were like "damn, I feel like this is supposed to be symbolic but I don't know for what." Sort of the opposite of "sometimes the curtains are just blue" lol.
I really appreciate that he got a literal America's Got Talent star from the age of 12 to play the purity virgin.
I'm sure she felt that one in her bones and it's such a sharp blade I don't think a lot of people got it stabbing them
Oh, don't get me wrong, some of them were obvious. Like when they threw the literal Make America Great Again hat.
LOL I loved the "on the point" robin hood stealing the life from the rich and giving to the poor.
Its so full of symbols and agreed that it's gonna be a where's Waldo hunt for the cult classic fans for years.
When someone says Megaopolis doesn't have obvious symbolism You believe that entitles you to the riches of my Emersonian mind?
