Aaron's Thoughts
Have you ever been writing something for so long that you can’t objectively look at it anymore? After so many hours staring at it, you no longer can even make sense of it or point out the flaws.
Now imagine that instead of it being hours, you have been starring at it for forty years.
Imagine just how blind you would be to its flaws.
Every time you pull someone else in, they tell you that it doesn’t work & needs to be scrapped. You make changes & start the process all over again only for it to get shot down it. Over and over again the cycle plays out.
Most people would walk away from the idea at that point. Then there are some (well, maybe just one) that are so egotistical & insistent that they are onto something that they sell part of their winery business & put up $125 million of their own money.
That sequence of events is genuinely the only way you can end up with a movie as bizarre as “Megalopolis”.
