I know a lot of us just got together and watched this one so i’ll keep my thoughts brief, but every time i come back and watch it again i find it more impressive. I think Speed Racer basically accomplished everything it set out to do: being probably one of the only truthful live-action homages to early anime, presenting a radically unique child-like aesthetic that no one will touch for years to come and a successfully told story that blends its kinetic style into its own anti-capitalist narrative. this movie just fucking rocks man. rick picked a good one. i think in my ongoing list of rick re-watches LOTR is next up. love you eric💙
