I remember the controversy around this film. People were really harsh on it. But looking back with fresh eyes, it’s actually quite brilliant. Definitely going to support this re-release!
The color grading and cinematography of Speed Racer is something every film student should study. It’s visually innovative in ways most blockbusters aren’t even attempting. Theater experience essential.
As someone who loved the original anime, I have to say the live-action adaptation captured the spirit better than I expected. It’s wild, it’s colorful, it’s fun. I’m 100% there opening weekend.
