Zardoz takes the form of a giant floating stone head that demands tribute and vomits bounty. One day an exterminator, Zed (Sean Connery) sneaks aboard and travels to the Vortex where the Eternals live.
No good will come of this.
CW: Rape, sexual assault, hunting people for pleasure, eugenics, religious zealotry.
This is unfairly maligned.
All that is ever talked about is Connery's outfit and the flying head but a heavily philosophical film has been reduced to childish sniggering.
This more ambitious than many of the other beloved 70s cult movies it's just very very 70s and very very not Star Wars.
It explores the horrors of inflicting non-consensual irrevocable things on your children, slavery, eugenics, the use of religion to manipulate societies, the tyranny of groupthink and societal malaise/decline.
It looks ridiculous and the Vortex where the Eternals live is like a commune of psychic hippies but you really do need to give it another chance.
8/10 unpopular opinion but this should be considered along with things like 2001 etc. It explores the morals and moral hazard of allowing "the best of us" to decide who and what is worth saving.
