After a lapse of ten years, the concept of changing from a bad film to a classic
John. Boorman is an excellent and individual director. He has directed various types of films. "Four Warriors of Torrent", "Frightening Step by Step", "General" and "Hope and Glory" are his four most classic works. In 1974, he filmed a sci-fi film "Zardoz" with a strong artistic color, but it was scolded by film critics when it was released. Even The New Yorker, which is usually very art-tolerant, considered it a film with "cultural rubbish."
The first time I came across this film... -

You murdered your own god by an accident
I haven't been this excited to watch a movie in a long time. Reminds me of "The Matrix" more than ten years ago, both are abstract philosophical films, fables about autocracy, democracy, rule, faith, science, and utopia. Of course, "Zardoz" is no match for "The Matrix" in terms of amazing and admirable characters and special effects. It is strongly suspected that this play accounts for most of the cost of Sean Connery's salary, and the characters in shorts. The special effects of images and...

Does ZARDOZ mean anything? And even if it does, even if we manage to disengage some relatively coherent “statement” from this complicated entanglement of plot and image, is it just possible...

Although Connery only wore a pair of red shorts, 'Sardus' was actually serious
In the selection of some of the worst looks in film history, the first-generation James Bond actor and handsome British old man Sean Connery is often on the list. Of course, it wasn't 007's gentleman look or the later images of those who got older and more supportive, but what caught the eye was Sean Connery's weird savage look with big sideburns and big braids wearing only red underwear.
This image comes from the 1974 British film "Sardus". But even with this stunning look of Sean... -

I haven't seen this movie for a long time. This movie brought an unimaginable shock to my childhood. It is still fresh in my memory to this day. It is probably written that a character similar to a savage played by Sean broke in. A place similar to Utopia.
1. In Utopia, there is only life but not death, everyone is immortal, and the living environment is like a fairyland and various high-tech. However, they have no sex. . . . Humans are cultivated.
2. People in Utopia will gradually...

[the gigantic Stone Head hovers before the worshipful horde of Exterminators]
Zardoz: Zardoz speaks to you, His chosen ones.
Exterminators: We are the chosen ones!
Zardoz: You have been raised up from Brutality, to kill the Brutals who multiply, and are legion. To this end, Zardoz your God gave you the gift of the Gun. The Gun is good!
Exterminators: The Gun is good!
Zardoz: The Penis is evil! The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men, as once it was. But the Gun shoots Death and purifies the Earth of the filth of Brutals. Go forth, and kill! Zardoz has spoken.
