Most people are morons

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2019)

This is my first review ever. I loved this movie and watched it after reading countless terrible reviews about it. I won't go into any great depth about, so much as to say that most people are idiots that lack insight into nuance, subtext, black humour, art direction and the absurdity of the human condition. This movie isn't a unicorn but it is quite unique. I won't unpack all the subtleties, but in short, the soundtrack was perfect, the cinematography beautiful, even the fish eye, which actually lends a more realistic perspective than the standard numerous quick cuts of close ups. It's quite brilliant actually. In real life you would see the entire room. So you can appreciate the grandeur of the opulent setting in this movie. And shooting from lower down makes people appear as giants. Which is what these people are in our hierarchical society. It all makes sense if you think about it. The ending makes perfect sense. It's not even slightly difficult to figure out. The acting is perfect. I was totally immersed in this bizarre world that beautifully portrayed. If you like movies that are different and don't require all the typical Hollywood cliches to get a movie, you may love this. Many people won't get it, but don't be deceived by the bad reviews. It is an exceedingly good movie. I'm not a critic, but I worked in a DVD store for years and I've seen thousands of movies. Hundreds of them period movies. I know when something deserves 1 star reviews and this movie absolutely does not. People are just morons.
