interesting elements but overall disappointing. reminded me of Thomas More's Utopia, and not in a good way, and mentions him once
pros:
- enjoyed the exciting bits when he was with the big people, which isn't in the movies
- seemed possibly anti-colonist I thought (but still some backward views on non-white ppl.)
-
cons:
- loads of boring political, satirical and ethical rambling, repeated multiple times as Gulliver (badly) explains England to each ppl. he meets
- very antifeminist, making a joke of all women and acting disgusted with them
- could've been good if half the length, not so repetitive and Gulliver such a spineless, emotionless person
