Review of Caligula (1979) by Megan A — 22 Oct 2008
Wow. I went into this movie expecting strange and bizarre... and I got just that.
Yeah, basically this movie is a porno, but underneath all the sex and unnessesary nudity, there is a hell of a story.
Malcolm McDowell portrays Caligula very well... a power hungry yet not the brightest Caesar. His character comes off as more of an unsure cockyness who definitely knows that they are going to take him out eventually. I mean really... he sleeps with guys brides, prostitutes the senators wives... of course he's going to be on someone's list.
Despite knowing what was coming... the ending was a bit shocking.
The movie I think it great... but could have been better if some of the sex and nudity would have been removed... because honestly, what does two random girls doing things to each other have to do with the plot?
I recommend if such things do not bother you to watch.
