i saw it yesterday, it was great.
the movie makes it clear the story is a fable and that’s what it is.

It’s okay to be wrong /s
But seriously, I’m glad you liked it. I have no horse in this stable

You stepped into the wrong stable, fool!

I feel like everyone hating it means it’s good.
JoYo@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
i think the trailer makes it pretty obvious. i feel like people are making more analogies to trump and musk that are kinda ridiculous. it’s like how populist characters in film used to be compared to Julius Caesar; like sure that’s apt but also stfu and listen to the story.
also plazas ass is so nice.

Most people haven’t seen it and jump on whatever the most popular are saying.

exactly

i can’t wait to see it. they don’t make good movies any more. this might be the exception.
Coppola might be one of the last great filmmakers left. I fear there won’t be any good movies ever made again after he and a few others pass away. It seems there is no good taste left in younger generations.

This has to be the most pretentious thing I’ve read all day.

I enjoyed Megalopolis but I won’t pretend it’s absolutely amazing and perfect. It’s a mess, but it’s a beautiful mess that was entertaining and thought provoking. What you’re complaining about isn’t a problem of the younger generations, but of the studio execs pumping out Movie Product after Movie Product

Maybe there is, but good ideas still need funding. The same old soup is a safer investment than an original one.

Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis is an impenetrable mess that cinephiles will feel obligated to see anyway.
One reviewer went right for the throat.

I quite like what Richard Roeper said:
Francis Ford Coppola sold off one of his wine companies in order to secure a $120 million line of credit to finance his dream project “Megalopolis.”
With all great respect: You were better off with the Pinot Noir, sir.

I quite enjoyed Megafapolis. I was a little tired and spent by the end…wait we’re talking about Megalopolis. Ooooooohhhhh, I thought we were talking about Megafapolis. Still a good movie.

Wow Platinum? Isn’t that Warcraft’s new gold-for-money currency?

I genuinely want to catch an IMAX showing before it is too late. It’s like being able to watch the Hindenburg disaster in person.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.
TranscendentalEmpire@lemm.ee 7 months ago
The professional reviews are hilariously mixed, I’m pretty sure Coppola unwittingly made a movie that also serves as a litmus test to see how pretentious and up your own ass you are.
The honest reviews are basically, this made no sense, I don’t know what he was thinking. The positive reviews can be boiled down to “if you have to ask, you’re not sophisticated enough to understand”.
JoYo@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
it’s a retelling of the fall of rome set in modern new york city.
it’s alright, wow platinum (plaza) was amazing.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Nope
