Medusa

Boring and contrived. Did I miss Medusa? Don't remember seeing a Gorgon anywhere.

A futuristic film more in politics than actual science fiction. Set in a dystopian future in Brazil that seems pretty normal except for its extreme religious culture The film shows the misogynistic nature of organized religious politics, and even vigilantism trying to show that the freedoms we condemn actually can liberate us, and our more for the people than anything else The beauty who is our lead after she gets scarred in retaliation from one of her victims in the attack it is the first time that she has been treated as less than and it’s quite eye-opening as then she learns sympathy as she becomes sympathetic, and her eyes are open to the injustices of the world. Her beliefs unravel, as do her body and nature. Where she becomes a of rebellion. That begins to affect those around her in similar situations. This then makes her separate from her vigilante group but also leads her to want to liberate more people, and slowly she is infecting her core group with thoughts and compassion, which seem to go against the heart of their faith and actions As we wander throughout, is it a spiritual, awakening, or are more and more of the vigilante females getting possessed. The film offers an original voice and cinematic universe in a genre, offering that is a critique of the patriarchy and fascism It does offer now lustrous world, so it never quite feels futuristic just a bit off or different and more puritanical. No, the film becomes more symbolic than exactly offering a point. It’s stylistic and sensationalistic though for all this heavy substance, the film comes off a little too heavy-handed, and there is no sense of enjoyment. The film looks great, but beyond that, it never feels as strong or wonder us in meaning as it seems to struggle to show. No, for a film that is about feminism it shows a lot of violence against them, which I guess is all a part of their age and the rage that is against them, and trying to keep them in their place. It bites off more than it can actually chew It also has a great soundtrack that can be mesmerizing and matches the camera work and rhythm of the scenes.

Not horror.

This was a really great movie. I had my doubts and then it sucked me right in from the very beginning to the last second. Excellent. Highly recommend.

I musta missed the gorgon, but found this movie pretty damn compelling anyway.
