The Death of Movies Has Come

The old things are passing away.

Spencer Klavan

Well, I did it: I went to see Godzilla vs. Kong. All I can say is I’m glad I did a Ph.D. in literature so I could catch the film’s many subtle allusions to classical texts. They come pretty thick and fast. If you blink, you might miss the reference to Sartre in the third act.

Okay, not really. It’s hard to imagine a movie whose plot is more entirely contained in its title: Godzilla. Versus. Kong. There truly is not more to this than that. Big lizard. Big monkey. Big fight. Don’t overthink it.
