ATTN EVERYONE IN LIT CIRCLE OR WHO LOVES ANALYSIS
PREDICTABLE PLOT DOES NOT EQUAL ONE-TRACK-MIND, SIMPLE,
SPEED RACER is THE most intelligent, beautifully crafted, beautifully conceived, perfectly written, pristinely executed, costume set use of technology....AHHHH. EVERYTHINGEVERYTHINGEVERYTHING
crystal ahahjdsghf stop. breathe. think. speak.
okay, back track:
it BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER LIKE NO FILM, HISTORICAL ANALYSIS, ANECDOTE, MYTH, FABLE, NOVEL, THEME, METAPHOR EVERYYYTHING ..HAS YET DONE FOR ME IN MY LIFE.
as for my senior year colloquium at gallatin (nyu)? well it could be based upon sole analytical SPECULATION of this film, let alone others' input and analysis. oh, and, by the way: two and a half hours of said speculation would only cover the first half hour of the film.
layers
upon layers
upon layers
upon twists
upon allusions DIRECTLY to all of the following: ( i can only ATTEMPT to categorise a few concepts, let alone specific references)
- novels
- films
- mythology
- art history
- the progression of our society
- themes, from the classic "good vs evil" to the seven deadly sins, modern concept of american society, corrup[tion, capitalist economy, dictatorship, manipulalation, MARX'S M-EFFING THEORY ON COMMODITY-FETISHISM AND SOCIETY, and how that Marx theory pertains to our country, and by extension our world, and by further extension , just to name a few examples
basically, yes it's rated PG, but.. aren't the simplest stories told the most profound? fairy tales? japanese anime? mythology? religious works? fables?
YEAH THIS ONE EXPONENTIALLY EXCEEDED THAT EXPECTATION
....and this all most likely happened, i kid you not, in a mere TWENTY MINUTES of the film, let alone its two-hour running time
it wasn't even that it was a phenomenal film in both aesthetics and CONSISTENT ENTERTAINMENT like i have NEVER been captivated before....
it was that it was THE MOST INTELLIGENT WORK I HAVE YET COME IN CONTACT WITH
I wish Ms French ('member her?!" was still around; cause she'd write her OWN dissertation on the film and all its BEYOND successful endeavors .
witty too!!!! THE ENTIRE TIME, not for one second did i want the film to end.
a bible was created and conceived within two solid hours of screentime. i hope everyone else picks up on all this stuff!! it overlaps and some references/themes are short lived, some continue and pop up sporadically throughout the film,
AND I REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT EVERY ONE THAT CAME TO MIND
...and what did my friend say when i asked him how he thought the film was?
"it was a kid's movie with race cars and cool graphics and a predictable plot line"
phenomenal evening spent with this friend, do not get me wrong, but in terms of a intellectual connection, stimulation, and affirmation, i mean.... just someone else pleaseeee come with me next time if AND ONLY IF all of the above intrigues you!!!!! otherwise i'll have that amount of disconnect again with what should have been an exciting night away from a household
