Clever idea, poor execution
I love the concept and the premises the film puts forward, but it’s not very good. The flow of the narrative, the clips, none of it works, the whole film feels like a college PowerPoint presentation. Probably best left for history nuts
A very clever look into a 60’s screwball comedy
Gilligan’s Island was once a massively popular television program way back in 1960’s America. At the time it was viewed as a silly screwball comedy.But according to this documentary the subliminal message throughout the series is that ‘in order to survive’ a communal (communist ideals) society must be paramount.
If you bother to watch this docu I believe you will find it difficult to argue with the writer/directors (Cevin Soling) insight into the foundation of this show. He makes his point clear considering the clash of The Cold War between the US and USSR.
Most viewers will find it preposterous. But those who bother to read history will find it meaningful and entertaining.
