Review of Colossal (2017) by Loudermilk — 05 May 2017

I loved this movie. I'm surprised I didn't read more about what seems to me the obvious symbolism and allergory all through the movie. From the obvious Souel being a metaphor for her soul and the destruction she is causing to all those around her with her alcoholism or lifestyle to the empty house of her childhood.

Everywhere I look there is symbolism, metaphors, and allergory that is fun to tease out. It can be almost too obvious such as when Gloria takes a long trip to get too her real Soeul and do what is morally right once she has stopped drinking.

Or Sedakis bring out the biggest firecracker ever to blow up everything around him while drinking heavily and confronting his rival. It kept me constantly thinking as I knew everything has deeper meaning but is not fully explained.
