The morality of that movie is all kinds of fricked up, right out of the gate in the prologue it's "Two wizards were born, one was beautiful and good, the other was ugly and evil" Bizarrely neolithic attitudes about connecting physical attributes with virtue or lack thereof.
The main conceit of the movie is the antagonist crushing magic and fantasy with industrialization and fascist imagery, and what does the protagonist do to defeat this? Shoots the villain with a gun, the purest symbol of industrialized violence. And were supposed to applaud this?
That would be one thing if it was clear Bakshi intended there to be a greater point to this act, but it's clearly played in such a way that we're supposed to applaud it as a heroic moment. The movie conveys a lot of fricked up morality that I don't think Bakshi was clever enough to be aware he was condoning.
Also finding out that your average Japanese or Eastern European animated film from the same era had one-fifth of the budget Bakshi regularly had and yet were generally more impressive and cohesive visually and artistically than his films doesn't speak well of his "talent".
The bit about the Japanese slops is where you lost it completely. Reeks of pasta, but whatever. I like to think that there are indeed people that fully moronic. It makes me feel better about myself. Thanks.
you're supposed to watch it for the stylistic presentation. if you go into every single movie expecting an engaging moral dilemma at the center of it you're gonna have a bad time.
>Bakshi's a hukster and a hack.
not seen wizards
and i agree bakshi movies all suck in their execution
but i still like the ones ive seen and want to see the others for what the attempts were -, i like the animation style, and the edgy adult oriented cartoon themes presented before the era where these subjects are not run of the mill
and all are either old nyc or fantasy setting and i like both of those also
Filtered. Bakshi isn't focused on glossy production but more just general atmosphere, which he's good at. A lot of Bakshi movies are kind of weird and jumbled narratively but that makes them what they are and it's a lot more memorable than the soulless animated shit that comes out today.
If you want "cleaner" animated movies that are still similar to Bakshi's sensibilities, watch Heavy Metal or Rock and Rule.
You're asking for recs in a really specific niche of the already niche medium of adult animated movies so there's only so much that's out there.
Honestly, I sometimes like his approach to narrative, but it has to come with the right context. I’ve found it works best when we’re following a distinctly Bakshian protagonist, as in a twenty-something pseudo-intellectual stumbling their way through life and experiencing whatever comes their way, as with Fritz the cat or the runaway hippie son in American Pop.
I think Heavy Traffic is Bakshi's best movie tbqh. Fritz the Cat is probably the most relevant today but something about Heavy Traffic is insanely comfy to me. American Pop had too much rotoscoping and I thought the sound mixing on that one was kind of weird.

Yeah I stopped watching the movie after I saw the bad guy sitting on a swastika throne and whipping a pig with a israelitestar on it. Thought it was gay up to that point anyways but that sealed the deal on its unwatchable israeliness.

LotR came out in 1954 but a lot of its popularity in America came more in the 60s and 70s, it was actually kind of part of the hippie zeitgeist with the whole nature vs industrialization theme and you can see some of that, maybe unintentionally, in the weird acid trip feel of the Bakshi movie.

gondor was pretty industrial bro, just less than mordor or sauron-man. the general theme was balance vs imbalance.
I love this film. The art, voice work, music and story are all fantastic. I still don't know about the ending, I can see it as a show about how your acts lead to your own downfall (bringing forth weaponry and being killed by a gun), but it really seems more like it wasn't thought through, which is a shame. But everything else is still good.
Yeah... I genuinely struggle sometimes because of that but, really, are we meant to like the guy? I think that's a valid argument too. He's a hypocrite and truly comes from the same spawn as his brother, just happens to be on the moral side - to most expected viewers.
And he couldn't, idk, magic a lightning bolt up Black Wolf's ass? Some fricking wizard he was, especially considering BW does the usual villain rant when most people would just shoot them on the spot.
blackwolf was a stronger wizard than avatar. that's why he was confident enough to allow avatar near him. he knew if it came to a battle of magic, he'd win. so avatar brought a fricking gun.

I don't remember that but either way, still reeks of not only hypocrisy but of capeshit tier bad guy monologuing. He wants to use a gun because BW is stronger fine, but don't act high and mighty about how you're oh so better than the ones who use it the whole time.

THEY SHOWED THIS TO KIDS!? I mean, it's not the worst thing the world but it's really freaking heavy - as you mentioned with the nihilism. There's better films by Bakshi to show to Hebrew kids that touch more on the Hebrew culture. This film isn't the best to educate them on the horrors of the Holocaust... I don't agree that means that was the filmmaker's intent, though. Even if educators came out liking the lead doesn't mean he was meant to be. I mean, look at Homelander and his popularity when he's obviously meant to be hated. But I get were you're coming from, I find nihilism interesting but it's not something I necessarily enjoy.
Yes, I live in NYC so I know a lot of israelites who remember it fawnly from their middle school days in after-school. Very popular among them for obvious reasons.
>It's not the best to show kids and educate them on the horror of the holocaust
It's meant to scare and propagandize them into thinking gentiles are always a hairs breath away from going total Black Wolf on them. It's not meant to educate. Hence why there weren't just Germans in the battle scenes but also Africans. It's meant to symbolize the coming battle against Gog and Magog as their religion predicts.
>It wasn't their intention
Dude rotoscoped devil horns and evil eyes on stock footage and showed them as the opposite of what the Germans were during WW2. Germant enacted some of the first pro environmentalist laws in Europe and Beautification programs to make the country look nice instead of an industrial nightmare dystopia. Not to mention they outlawed prostitution and the like. Bakshi ignored all that and put it in to make them seem even more horrible. Not to mention they live in a place described as, iirc, the Scorched Realm or something like that.
>Homelander
I mean yeah but he was a cautionary tale where he represents the power of the federal government and what it could lead to in the midst of the GWOT.
Nihilism can be interesting to explore, but when you're pushing a very israeli angle of it, it becomes too obvious to even the most normie of folks. The Never Ending Story handles nihilism much better

Germany revoked their good cookie card once they participated in a GENOCIDE and wanted to go after other land masses. There's not much reason to push them as a "nuanced" force after that. I like socialism, it's a good way of living for all if done correctly but, like commies, they dropped the ball for a large portion of their people (to put it lightly). You can disagree or think that the ends justify the means - I don't know you, so I don't know your actual stance obviously - but programs like that should be for all citizens or they're no better than commies (and revoking citizenship to segregate and mistreat is still doing it to citizens). I think the horns are fitting.

Considering the movie was shown to kids in Hebrew schools yeah I think we were. As adults, mainly watching because it's cool to look at while high, no. But for kids yeah. I'd have less of a problem with it if it didn't go on and on and on about how horrible humans were and how horrible it was they were still alive. And don't get me started on the historical aspect of it either.

its you who isn't thinking it through. magic, armies, the systems the villian created protect the antagonist from all consequence of his actions. He thinks hes invulnerable, and one dude just pulls a fricking gun and shoots him.
because that's all it takes. One man with a gun and tyranny is upended. This is a principle the united states was built upon.
>One man with a gun and tyranny is upended. This is a principle the united states was built upon.
That's rubbish, the principle that has made America great is respect for the rule of law and separation of powers.
yes and no. the second amendment is a failsafe for when the powers aren't so separate, a threat to those who'd seek to consolidate and abuse power. because they're the only people who'd fear an armed populace.
the second amendment wasn't even interpreted as guaranteeing private gun ownership until DC v. Heller in 2008, prior to that there were basically 0 supreme court cases on it, and it was always thought of as only existing to prevent the federal government from disbanding state militias. Even the guy who wrote it, James Madison, introduced a bill in the Virginia legislature that would have banned carrying in public places for people who weren't in militias. The second amendment was historically not relevant.
the second amendment was literally written as a response to prohibition of weaponry in england. just like most of the constitution.

Wizards was a necessary first step to Bakshi's later fantasy works.
That's lazy rotoscoping
This scene is mostly solarized film, not rotoscoping. Also it's a cool scene regardless of the technique.
a lot of animated lord of the rings was like that simply because they didn't have enough time/money to rotoscope everything.
Animated LOTR is a film I like a lot, but the mismatched, borderline experimental style of animation doesn't really suit the source material.
LotR came out in 1954 but a lot of its popularity in America came more in the 60s and 70s, it was actually kind of part of the hippie zeitgeist with the whole nature vs industrialization theme and you can see some of that, maybe unintentionally, in the weird acid trip feel of the Bakshi movie.
