The story behind John Boorman's 1974 cult classic, Zardoz
Date: 2021-03-29 13:00:05+00:00

The script for the narration in the video is not very well put together either with lots of redundant repetitive information, and the reading itself is not great with plenty of strange pauses. About the information offered about the movie itself though i did find it interesting, particularly the fact that Boorman underpaid Connery and then had the gall to charge him rent while making the movie. Geeze what a dick.

If anyone hasn’t seen the movie, it’s not great and confusing but its the kind of movie you want to watch high or drunk with a group of friends. And the “twist/reveal” about Zardoz being a lie and being based on The Wizard of Oz is amazing(ly terrible). Also a big catalyst for change in the movie is that Connery’s character has such a strong libido that it’s responsible for the collapse of the advanced sexless/intellectual society… yeah. The movie is hilarious and painfully bad to watch
