Caligula

Yes, Caligula is a tedious lesson about people learning to face their problems alone, even though everyone is different. The show is wrapped up in a supposedly complicated environment that tells us about as much as we have already learned in the previously mentioned The Matrix. It goes something like this - "The first Matrix was a perfect paradise, it was a disaster, humanity could not accept it." Unfortunately, the show was like a twelve-part lecture, and I again could not accept how it was presented. I did not get to build up a relationship with anyone because there were so many characters. Also, how was I supposed to be somehow shaken up when I learned their real-world secrets? Furthermore, the tediously presented narratives were just bullshit. Some scenes were filled with dry stilted lines that fell flat ("I am a bad mother because I never hugged my son..."). Others had supposedly dramatic and completely unnecessary fight scenes. Still, they made it even more bullshit than it needed to be. As a colleague rightly wrote in their review - they simply symbolize defiance. All in all, it is very tedious and I was just waiting to see what the ending would bring. Then there was the final lecture about humans in a way that even artificial intelligence would understand. So, my view is this: ideas: mediocre, action: useless, suspense: none, emotions: weak = my overall impression is about 3/10 because even the soundtrack was not my cup of tea. (06/26/2018)
