I think you didn’t understand Zardoz. It’s a critique against Christianism (probably Judaism and Islam too) as a religion that represses sex and inspires violence against those whom are supposedly scorned by God (infidels or “brutals” in the movie). It also makes you wonder if the promise of eternal life has really any sense; at least everlasting life on Earth/the physical plane. Wouldn’t people sooner or later get bored after a few centuries of having learned and experienced everything there is to learn and experience? Would immortals evolve fast enough as in normal evolution? Zed was much more genetically advanced than the immortals. It also shows how easy it is to manipulate an ignorant population through an evil religion. And there is the part where it shows how “knowledge will set you free” where Zed is instructed at a library and discovered how he was fooled. The message is “inform yourself and you’ll realize about the evil system we’re in, how we’re being fooled and how we could make it collapse”. Besides, only one person, Zed, changed everything; a way of life that lasted for centuries. It also shows that masters were as unhappy as their slaves. Zardoz is a movie who expresses many messages and leaves you reflecting on a variety of topics. I liked it.

hahaa, I love it that you jumped from the Milwaukee Brewers (my favorite sports team in the world) to Zardoz, one of the most ridiculous but aweseome movies ever made. I have no idea why I stumbled upon this website, other than my standard dose of Brewer reading, but I think I’ll watch Zardoz later tonight if I can…

How do you go from the Brewers to Zardoz? lol. There is nothing better than being at a major league ball game in my opinion.

[...] anyways, The Hoff. During his initial appearance he appears wearing what can only be described as a Zardoz mask, a device of enormous power, then he promptly tosses it away when the troglodytes attack. Oh [...]

It is definitely interesting it just has a serious problem at tying it’s multiple morals together. This might be one of the few films that would have been better served with a bit more studio control.

Sounds about as interesting as I remember it. It’s been a good 10 years since I last saw it and I remember being shocked by some of the material but I’ve never felt the need to re-visit it instead, it’s just been something that I’m happy I’ve seen but never need to look at again.

Campy fun…if you’re into the torture.
