Review of The Bad Batch (2017) by Mia S — 25 Sep 2017
The Bad Bunch made me realize how much speaking comes like breathing to me. In the silence of thought, when there's no communication in words, it feels deeply unnatural.
It also made me wonder about Hobbesian theory of human warring without government. It makes you realize why women are attracted to big strong men and it shows you the origins of business and dealmaking. It shows you how much impact one motorcycle can make on earth. And why tents were created. It even demonstrates the art of the con, with The Hermit and the raven. It explores The Dream and drugs and chasing lights literally and metaphorically. The value of drawing and the importance of symbolism in tattoos and art.
I think the negative reviewers missed it entirely. It's a bad "cannibal flick" because it's not one.
Almost all the communication is nonverbal but it always gets the message across.
And I'm almost positive it was inspired by Burning Man. A society outside society.
It made me think about materialism and defining oneself by what they have; and having to leave the comfort of a community.
That's a good movie.
