Isnt much to get.
It's two aging middleclass theatre professionasl, navalgazing about their own pointless existence, disillusionment in life and the future of human kind in the way that only that kind of people can.
They could have made an interesting film, but were just lazy or so creatively bankrupt that they couldnt find a better way of filming a 2 hour dialoge in any other way than medium shot, reversed medium shot. No interesting blocking, no dynamic use of the location, no interesting juxtapostioning with the characters in the room.
Doesnt help that Andre has the croakiest voice ever put on tape and is a horrible and boring story teller. Keeps on droning with pointless anectdote after anecdote that adds no drama to the scene, no tension, no release, no reveal of some interesting incident or thought that brings conflict of thought or interest into the dialoge. It's just Andre having a verbal diarreah and Wallace just nodding along, bringing little to nothing to the conversation other than just agreeing with whatever Andre says and occationally looking slightly confused or bemused.
It's just so fucking tedious I got kinda angry watching it.
There are a hundred ways they could have made this interesting but it's just two disillusioned aging hippes wasting two hours of your life with their pointless manifesto.
I'm sure this was interesting in the late 70s or whenever it came out, but these days it just sounds like Jordan Peterson monologuing at a clone of himself after having eaten an edible. Just an endless wordsalad of nothing.
