I personally feel that this dumb big budget vanity project does live up to its potential as a true good-bad movie (the kind that's only good to watch drunk, in a group) - but don't for a second forget that it's really pretty bad.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
