This movie is a pretty great demonstration of "show, don't tell" and the power of form over content in cinema Talking about it at all in words sounds schmaltzy But the movie works because it is, in every way, in every shot and every cut and every frame, a demonstration

Like, maybe it's my meta knowledge of the Wachowskis' struggles in Hollywood Or maybe it's how the years since 2008 have gone for me, personally A lot of harsh lessons, about talent, and success, and neurodivergence But when Speed crosses the finish line I was fucking bawling

Here's an interesting point. You're saying that Speed Racer is, through one lens, a movie about Hollywood. It's an old cliche that every movie about Hollywood is a re-telling of Faust. If so, in this version of Faust he rejects the deal with the devil, which subverts the trope.
