everyone talking about how robert eggers should do a caligari adaptation after he did nosferatu and like. I liked his nosferatu a lot. but idk if I would trust him with caligari. maybe I would, but I would be watching very carefully.

#the most important thing to prioritize is the authoritarianism metaphor and I feel like eggers would go in a different direction than that #I'm sure it would probably still be good but likely it wouldn't be what I'd be looking for personally #this is why I keep saying guillermo del toro . I trust him for the creepiness and the uncanny valley vibes AND the antifascism #the antifascism is the most important part and del toro has proven how well he can work with metaphors surrounding it #also I think having a caligari adaptation from someone who did a successful pinocchio adaptation just feels right #lots to consider about the implications of Making A Guy #eggers is a good filmmaker. but del toro could do caligari better #the cabinet of dr. caligari
