As a megalopolis fan, I hope the fans make compelling arguments. I feel like people miss the idea that Megalopolis is a fairytale fable, and want the film to have a logical answer for every character's decision.
I like the idea of Megaflopolis being entirely intentional and instead of telling a relevant story of late-stage empirical decline, being an example of its most decadent demise in the form of a cancelled sexist megalomaniac boomer brute-forcing his vision upon an unreceptive, evolved production, cast and audience. Lebouf's paralleled violent creep realism was the cherry.
I can see where your friend is coming from, Scott, but on the whole I stand in your camp ; what you talk about towards the end of the video, about every film looking and feeling the same way due to the "Netflixification" of cinema is all too real and wearying at this point. Megalopolis doesn't feel like it was made with that kind of balance sheet in mind, which is appealing to me, but people's millage may vary. The day after I saw the film in late September, I read a review that was mixed to positive (I can't remember who's review it was) that said something like "it's intentions are noble, but it feels like the type of message that only somebody with a lot of money could really truly espouse, never mind make a large scale movie about it." I think that's the crux of the problem... it's a fascinating film, but I can't give it the "masterpiece" tag, because of its ethos... it's not relatable, though I can admire the sentiment behind it.

I’m a Megalopolis fan and I’m not ashamed of it
Pleased to meet you

Well I don't want to give spoilers. But I think I defend it.

@@FranzSanchez-ky9up nicely put
Horrifying take
@@sharifmansour9678 “horrifying” doesn’t sound like the right word. I think you just disagree
