Megalopolis looks like nothing i never would expect coming from Coppola. The aesthetics gives a feeling of chaos, the editing is so bad that i multiple times laughed out loud in the cinema.
With that said, i also know that Coppola has the resources and the knowledge to make a visual masterpiece, he showcased this many times.
It's therefor obvbious that the look he went for in Megalopolis is by choice. A choice that i believe to be very courageous, and admireable.
It all adds to the experience and what he is trying to convey - a civilization collapsing in every possible way. There is no real beauty left in the world. What is left is the complete chaos before we wreck it all down and starts over.

He does not say much, nor need much, he is content with his job as a toilet cleaner, and enjoy the small moments in life, like observing the sun shine through the leaves.
Finding contentment in the present is something that we need to be reminded of in this era full of distractions, and this movie did just that.
The character portrayed in the movie is a simple man - from the outside, but it's clear that he has a rich inner world full of life and imagination.
It's rarely to see a character like this for 2 hours on the big screen, but im so glad someone finally did it. Throughout the screening I heard multiple people in the cinema yawn and sigh, perhaps they expected a marvel superhero movie?

David Holm was the worst of the worst. He lived a life of sin without regrets. Eventually his way of living got the best of him. He had to face the consequences of his wreckless acts. But is it to late to feel remorse and change for the better?
Many movies will fade with time, but this one still holds up today, 102 years after it's release.
In a very poetic and straight forward way it spoke to me about life, death, grace, love, forgivness. Subjects that most people can relate to.
The music is not something i would ever listen to by choice but it suits the format very well.
I left the cinema with a lot to process, this movie was a treat, it gave a lot and took nothing from me.
