Some notes:
- I predicted the exact plot of this movie MONTHS ago
- I live in Pensacola. The movie's version of "Pensacola" is nothing like the real town
- Were there EVA references in this film or was it just me?
- I can't remember anything about any of the human characters
- The most interesting character in the whole film was Kong
- I forgot about the movie the second the credits rolled
The kaiju fights were fun but, overall, my review of this film is...
eh
This is the final part in Pasolini's Trilogy of Life. Although I enjoyed it very much and I loved how it played around with frame narrative, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as The Decameron or The Canterbury Tales. It's possible that I'm just closer to those stories since I grew up with them and not with 1001 Arabian Nights.
If you like Pasolini and you don't mind seeing a lot of nudity, I'd highly recommend this.
I only watched the first 15 minutes of it but I watch the opening nonstop. Like Clockwork Orange style where my eyelids are forcibly peeled open and I have to watch Bane crash the plane with no survivors 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I based my entire worldview after that first 15 minutes. I don't know about anything that happens after that, but from what I've seen, this is peak kino.
