( 1972 ) as far a plot go and movie differ . some have obvious plot that have be do repeatedly in the history of film or literature culture . you know how the thing be go to end in the first five min . others have plot that be there and but one have to watch the movie five time before understand it all . some do not have plot and everyone know it and in which case it good have something else that be damn well do . then come along a movie and teeter on the thin line of questionable success where one can not tell whether there be a plot or not . if and while watch satyricon you find yourself wander whether it be go to wrap up finally into an understandable conclusion after which you can satisfactorily murmur ` ahh yes and now i get it . well and in the end there be no such luck and sorry lad and lass . of the plot the one thing i could gather be that it be the journey of the main character who be search for something and or some one . very hard to figure out . it start out a a conflict between one greek lad and another who both have unbegotton lust of a young lad then themselves . the lad end up choose one over the other and or something of that strange sort . the other go off and into something like a whorehouse and or something . the whole thing be bath in color of unnatural hue . but and i degree . and to get back to the suppose half invisible story line and the suppose main character go off on a journey of many naked breast strange look lady . the secondary character all come in and disappear throughout the story . one really have to view this more a a surreal world with little scene and part that be not really connect by any great spine and because otherwise one be to be lose for sure . over all it have the flow of an acid trip with some really pretty boy strange king ( or be there just one ) and strange look woman . there be no doubt that there be many subtle point to be make and but it may not at first be clear what they be . ultimately and if there be any sort of plot it probably revolve around a young man try to find himself ( or his sexuality ) though different occurrence .
