Don’t Watch Megalopolis: It’s Terrible #12DaysofChristmas

You have to be courageous with ideas and finance stuff.

-Francis Ford Coppola

Megalopolis. It’s terrible. Don’t watch it.

I was a bit curious. I heard Francis Ford Coppola sold his winery to make this movie. It was his magnum opus since he couldn’t it made in the 1970’s.

I only got 15 minutes in and I couldn’t watch it anymore. It was super annoying. It really made no sense.

Sure, the first scene with Adam Driver, who plays Cesar, is about to jump off a building then he stops the scene, sure that was cool. However, the rest of the 15 minutes I watched was chaos that was making anxious.

It’s a Science Fiction film drawing parallels between the Roman Republic and the United States. The film should have been made in the 1970’s. In fact, it looks and feels like one of those weird dystopian sci films from the 70’s like ‘Roller Ball.’ It really makes no sense in this era.

If you are continuing to binge watch during the 12 days of Christmas, skip Megalopolis and watch Bethany Frankel on TikTok talk about’Dior Bags.’ That’s much more entertaining.
