I just had the pleasure of seeing the Super Mario Brothers Movie, And here is my honest, unbiased opinion.
I knew going in from the audience reviews that I was in for something special, but I was not prepared in the slightest for masterpiece of cinema that was this film.
I will also say that not since Never Ending story has this angle of “hero’s journey about a young man trapped in modernity transported to a fantasy world to learn a lesson” been done so compentently and meaningfully.
The film itself is paced beautifully and not one part felt like fluff or padding.
From the very beginning scene where the Penguin Army assembled outside their city with grim determination in their faces, reminiscent of grim Wagnerian stoicism in the opening scene of Kolberg (1945).
The movie presents a world of racially homogenous ethnostates which must work together in order to expel a globalistic military force of destruction led by Bowser, a being driven soley by his miscegenistic desire to defile a Nordic Aryan princess who is appalled by the thought of doing so (a conviction she never breaks from, even if it means the genocide of her kingdom), she clings to the purity of her blood at all costs, trusting in Providence to deliver a hero of her own race to save her.
Mario and Luigi are introduced as very close brothers who share a very special bond, and the emphasis put on this healthy familial bond without cynicism or subversion is rare in modern cinema, and was very refreshing.
Peach, while a competent and resolved female monarch, is not a Mary Sue, but rather one who cannot ultimately do what Mario can, and is very much enamored with the blue-eyed man as they only suitable and destined future husband, and for this reason Bowser immediately becomes enraged.
The journey to the Kong’s Kingdom and the forging of an alliance between the mushroom and Kong kingdom is achieved through the classic trial by duel between champions, and the rivalry between Mario and Donkey Kong gradually and organically evolving into a respectful friendship, particularly in their storming of the occupied Mushroom Kingdom to rescue Peach from being defiled is (impossible to be coincidentally) reminiscent of Rama and Hanuman’s storming of the island of demons to rescue his queen.
This is not the only instance of perennial Indo-European heroic archetypes being carefully woven into the plot, and I was amazed at just how artfully this was achieved.

The key concept of Jünger’s theory is Gestalt; by this, he means a whole that includes something greater than the sum of its parts.
A person is greater than the sum of atoms, a family is greater than the union of a man and a woman, and a nation is greater than the sum of citizens living in the same territory.
All human history is a struggle of Gestalts. Jünger claims that ‘man, as a Gestalt, belongs to eternity’.

Left and Right are merely the sceptre and sword of the Leviathan. To attempt greater extremes would be to cut off the sovereign's hands.

"The English aristocracy absorbed in every detail everything that threatened it or put it under pressure. The German aristocracy did better, turning as a whole to socialism. And of course it is easier for the aristocracy to adapt to socialism than to continue to exist in the form of a bourgeoisie. The aristocracy could adapt to National Socialism as it had adapted to popular militarism a century earlier. The generals of the Reichswehr simply let the tradition of the Prussian Junkers of 1809 live on. Today, all formations are mixed with other, more important ones - including other parts of society."

In this one can see a relation to Jünger's Worker and the industrial force which not only threatened the nobility but the aristocratic spirit itself.

The idea that nothing matters is such a lie, in truth, everything matters. Everything is a microcosm, everything has a spark of the divine, and everything exists due to the creation of the divine.

“It seems that Ungern is more dangerous than Semenov. He is stubborn and fanatical. Clever and ruthless. He occupies key positions in Dauria. What are his intentions? To attack Urga in Mongolia or Irkutsk in Siberia? To swing around to Harbin in Manchuria, and then on to Vladivostok? To march on Beijing and restore the Manchurian dynasty to the Chinese throne? His monarchical plans are limitless. But one thing is clear: Ungern is preparing a coup. He is our most dangerous enemy to date. Destroying him is a matter of life and death.”
