Yeah but like - why? I don't get it, what do you like about this film?
It seems like the thesis is that without a Renaissance or book learnin' humans were stumbling morons who smear shit on their face. And then we just spend hours watching humans being disgusting giggling simpletons.
And I honestly would be fine if it was entertaining, or if I thought dwelling in this dank space was helping me understand some deep human truth. I'm not turned off by the grotesque, it just kind of felt tedious, reactionary and misanthropic.
Am I misreading this? Does it change in the second two hours to redeem this impression?
I made it 1 hour in. I can't watch this comrade like why.
I watched it 1 hour long chunks
