Considering how bad sequels usually are, I’m as surprised as everyone else to admit that this was a lot of fun - my one complaint is that a bunch of the dialogue from the first half was really obvious and throwaway, and more importantly my other complaint is that there are too many characters and they don’t get developed to any depth, so altho I do think that’s gonna be enough to keep this movie from achieving the cult status of its forebear, the practical effects and acting were really lovely.
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.
