Thank You For Posting; All the socially acceptable religions is Zardoz, I realized that when I viewed this motion picture as a child, therefore consider 11 September 2001, 7 July 2002, Sharia Law, immigrant/asylum-seekers, 'grooming of children/paedophilia', suicide-bombers, opium/cocaine/ecstasy/qat, and the circumcision of female, or male children, or adults is Zardoz.
Thank You For Replying; A statue of 'Nelson Madella' is a complete waste of brass, because a statue of 'Benjamen Disraeli' giver of 'India the Trojan-Horse' is brassing-off Parliament Square.
A huge floating stonehead filled with gold and ak-47 rifles, the penis is evil and men wearing leather stockings and panties and goddamn bullet belts around the sholders.
You could detect a sharp note of rancid cheesiness when this turkey came out in 1974, It flopped at the box office, and many were the hilarious comments about Connery's red diaper with suspenders. A truly embarrassing movie. I like Roger Ebert's words on the film the best. To paraphrase:'it's like a bunch of stoned set designers made it, starred in it and directed it.' People who think this movie is profound would intellectually drown in a teaspoon of ideas.
I can think of few films that combine the profound and the risible as irresponsibly as "Zardoz." John Boorman has the courage of Werner Herzog, the command of film technique of Douglas Sirk, and the taste of Benny Hill. (If that makes him sound like a second-rate Ken Russell, well, at least Ken has never given us Sean Connery in a miniskirt and red go-go boots.)
were you alive in the 70s? or voting? Or aware of the attack which was made upon the constitution by Nixon?, or the stand for freedom made by people voting in areas for the first time? or women going into the workforce in larger numbers and expecting to be respected? Or the bravery and patriotism of those willing to go to jail to stop the Viet Nam war, keep more kids from being killed for nothing. BTW the 2000s are trying to roll back clock to pre 60s and 70s. Fools are letting them do it.
Despite suffering from some cheesy scenes and effects later on in the film, this is a highly underated and unfortunately almost forgotten. It has underlying profound philosophical implications ever more relevant now and the future. Great opening scene and thanks for introducing me to Beethoven's wonderful 7th.
Go Forth and Kill...Wow now that's what makes a great God ya know, such inspiration for the masses, If there is any Oz Wizardry at play here, it'd be the method by which Zardoz manipulates these whole Greek statue mask headed people to follow the yellow brick road of collective chaos and death which they're already on when he meets them, and hope to detour a few select, that they might stumble across some semblence of humanity along the way , as for the rest, Fate Awaits, Zardoz has spoken
Probably. I think the script was kind of an Age of Aquarius thing from the 1960's. While women secretly ruled the planet; all men were cattle, manipulated by (the wi) ZARD (of) OZ (whose voice sounds like it might be Patrick Stewart).
