On: I taught the Iliad to Chinese teenagers (2021)

[vkou]

EEAAO is a gish-gallop of sensory overload, but it made me think about films, the meta-narrative behind it, etc.

It delivered what it advertised in the title. You have to evaluate a film in context of what it was trying to do

I most certainly do not, if it’s bad it’s bad. If a movie tries to do something stupid and succeeds, it has just succeeded at doing something stupid. Being successfully stupid is not something to be proud of or celebrated.
