Finishing my H. Wintermans 1/2 corona, a honeyed pleasure. I bought Exodus & Revenant on Amazon sale for the price of rental.
My first impressions of Exodus, after 25 minutes were to have a little laugh, I could be very cutting and dismissive , but it is only popular culture on a budget, though huge budget. Rather like a Californian Western, of Yankee Cavalry, fighting the red Indians in chariots, in a Chicago museum of Al Capone gangsters. with slum dog dung heap slaves. With ham Shakespearian Bar saloon actors , to be polite. I think of Kongywood martial epics , of silken Wushu, done with more style, Better luck next time Hollywood only CGI effects will do it Justice, with the Carpenter, Plumbers, & Weavers etc, pipedream touch of course. such is life, that is life.
Look at the remnant of the Mighty African wasteland , for starters.
But a nice pastime with my next puffs of a roll of my first Irish Flake in my Petersons Emerald Christmas special, more anon.
PS do not forget your roots on this side of the pond for a " better" effort,movie lovers of Uncle Sam.
