Can I just say that I think Zardoz is Sean Connery’s greatest film of all time and I am glad to have been exposed to its greatness. For those that saw it probably think I am being sarcastic but I tell you I am not. I have a great appreciation for old sci-fi films probably because I grew up watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 with my guy cousins and brother so I enjoy watching old films like this that are definitely dated. The best part is that they create these films are taken seriously while they are being filmed and released but we see them now and do not appreciate them. There are films created today that will be laughed at many years from now.
There were some deep meanings behind this film such as the apathetic people who show no emotions. They are the extreme representation of a lot of people today that go through life mechanically. It is when the meaning of life is forgotten although a major part of living life is to enjoy it! The ending where the immortals beg to experience death, for their own murder even, is also very interesting. Death is the one thing they cannot experience willingly. They have what almost every person, American at least, wants; immortal youth and wealth, and yet ultimately want the one thing they have attempted to avoid.
