The film follows Willy G, whom partners with The Grand Rizzard, in order to stop the evil Dr. Breakup from destroying Willy G's relationship.
Let's dissect this story and it's hidden meanings.
Firstly, the character of The Grand Rizzard is symbolic for the Greek god of love, Eros. Willy G is representative of the Greek god of peace, Eirene. And finally Dr. Breakup is representative of the Greek god of death, Thanatos.
With that being said, we can see correlations between Ancient Greek epics and that of "The Ballad of the Grand Rizzard". The storytelling is so deeply embedded into the film, you'll only notice if you're really paying attention.
For example, in Ancient Greek epics, when two gods were set to fight to the death, (Willy G and Dr. Breakup), it was standard to dress properly and professionally, just like how we see Willy G and Dr. Breakup in button ups and blazers.
It was also usually love which started conflicts in Greek epics, just like how we see it in the film. We can actually trace these morals and themes to more recent times, just like how the ancient Incans of 1200 AD would fight over love and betrayal.
It was incredibly clever how Logan Graves and Daxton Mateer masterfully encapsulated these themes into the film. It truly does rival Shakespeare with the level of depth this film contains.
Bravo, gentlemen. Bravo.
