    No sabía que esta película tuviera esa transcendencia, preocupación o incidencia a nivel político-social o de debate "a pie de calle".

    Yo si que vi esas posibles referencias a Trump, y claro, desde mi perspectiva, como ciudadano español y alejado del día a día de la sociedad policita y sociedad de EEUU (excepto de las conversaciones que tengo con mi vecino estadounidense al respecto, mis lecturas sobre ciertas decisiones político-económicas de Trump, y mi interés por la inversión bursátil) no le vi demasiada importancia, pero claro, ahora está Trump al mando de EEUU, con una parte de la sociedad en contra, pero con sus votantes a favor y con sus votantes acérrimos muy a favor, y como todo siempre tiene consecuencias en esta visa, y Coppola parece que las ha sufrido.

    Saludos.
    Es verdad que me refería principalmente a foros americanos y cosas así. Un tipo definió la película como "basura Randiana". En fin. Muthur lleva razón en que determinar si una obra de arte merece o no la pena en función de la ideología que ostente (o que creamos nosotros que ostente), es un camino peligroso, y por desgracia muy común hoy en día.

    Sound of freedom tuvo muchos problemas para recibir financiación o producción y distribución. Hay entrevistas de Jim Caviezel que habla sobre el tema.

    Y el tema que trata es real, gravísimo, desgarrador, inhumano e internacional. Pero claro, podría haber involucradas según que personas de relevancia política internacional y supongo que a nadie le apetece remover e ir en esa dirección por las posible, diría casi seguras, consecuencias para su vida.

    Está, que supongo que os sonará lo de Epstein, la isla, la lista... diría que hay documentales o similares para uno documentarse.

    Saludos.

    The Coruscant-New Rome visual connection is obvious and absolutely fantastic.



    PD: ¡Es cierto!
    What makes Megalopolis so strange and, for a big-budget Hollywood film, so singular, is that, just like Vergil’s Aeneid, it is at once accretive, allusive, and idiosyncratic because Coppola is attempting something very few artists have ever done: to speak from inside the imperial organism, even as it begins to crack, and to craft a vision that is both a monument to its grandeur and a requiem for its decline.

    We are such stuff as dreams are made of"

    A movie for the future in every sense.

    Megalopolis is for the future.


    So much fucking hope at the age of 86. Almost childish amount of hope. Long live Coppola

    I won't call this a misunderstood masterpiece or anything because it states itself clearly almost too clearly throughout its runtime.


    Too much expositions, visual metaphors that are too on the nose.

    Maybe that was the problem for many.

    But that's essence of the cinematic language that Megalopolis makes use of.

    It's easy to understand, not so easy to engage with.

    But it's the engagement that transforms our consciousness.

    The at times perplexing naivete is part of its unique cinematic language.

    In the age of misinformation and propaganda, the only kind of art that would survive and have the power to transform us, would definitely be the kind that Megalopolis is.

    One that works with symbols.

    One that operates on a different plane of conscious understanding.

    The transformative power it holds, to be obtained only by the viewers, through active engagement.

    Hence it's meaning will forever remain pure and can never be twisted.

    Much like the utopian city of Megalopolis as Cesar describes.

    And you need to see the vision, the way Cesar tells you to:

    "Walk into the future. With your eyes closed. And tell me what you see"

    It's magic, as Alan Moore insists:

    "Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words, or images, to achieve changes in consciousness"

    Coppola is a Wizard

    Creating transformative art even while he's nearing his 90s.

    Transformation of kinds that can be achieved only through the medium of cinema.

    In the world of big budget maximalist cinema, this movie is a close relative to Zack Snyder's Sucker punch, in them using similar ritually charged cinematic language. But ofc Sucker punch did it with all its glory of PS3 looking imagery, slow mo fantasy action sequences and kick ass music, disguising itself, meaningfully so, as a dumb sexy action film on the surface so that a studio like Warner bros. would spend 80 MILLION dollars on financing it. A clever move indeed.

    Forgot to mention, Adam driver is terrific. And Megalopolis might just be the most visually striking big budget movie in a long time.

    PS: Experimental or avant garde my ass. This is a film, believe or not, for everyone. For your wife, your mother, your dad.

    Your children. What a beautiful movie.

    Coppola no mentía cuando dijo que Megalopolis es su película más referencial.
