The power went out sometime ago in my area. So I decided to go through a DVD collection my friends gifted to me. I went for this film because of the sheer number of recommendations I have received. I was left in awe of the cinematography, physics in space, and spectacular designs. I still cannot believe this film was made in 1968! It seems so surreal, and so many of the themes seem so unbelievably relevant to the modern day. However, I am only about halfway through the book, and already it connects with me more than the film. Which is odd because I normally prefer cryptic messaging over explicit storytelling. After starting the book, the movie seems so devoid of narrative. I cannot give my full thoughts until I finish the novel, but I am interested in knowing what other people think?

In this interview with Cinema Blend, Curry Baker said they had a lot of creative freedom with the movie. However, he says there was one thing that was considered too far, and had to be taken out. I mean after seeing the film, it feels like they went balls to the wall😂, I wonder what it was that they considered too far.

What a film! Its always interesting to look back at the things we were oblivious to in cinema while growing up. I loved this movie when I first saw it, but now I have so much more context and understanding that it feels new. I always gain a new appreciation from rewatching films from back then.

I was looking all over for something like this. Now that it is integrated into the game, I can’t wait to get rid of those pesky 50/50’s!
