I really enjoyed the first couple of acts. Thought it was maybe going in a different direction. 3rd act takes a turn. It’s definitely scary as some of the subject matter is quite topical.

Is it like Succession? One of my favorite series post GOT.
Haven't watched it yet, but on Bulwark yesterday it happened to be mentioned that at least 17% of it was hilarious in the Succession sense, haha. I am looking forward to it!
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
I think i forgot to add this to my top 10 favourite movies in that other thread. I kind of get the feeling that it is more dismissed now than it used to be, and I am not sure why. Is it because Mel Gibson went crazy? In any case, I think it is fucking phenomenal across the board, and it should have won more academy awards than it did. The production value of it is pretty much mind blowing, particularly the battle scenes.
Side note: I am actually a direct decendent of Robert the Bruce. He's my great grandpa times whatever number. I know it sounds like BS, but in my case it is actually verified, lol. That makes this movie, even though there is only a very minor relation to real history in it, even more enjoyable, even though Robert the Brice fucked things up, haha.
Also, this movie makes me cry like a motherfucker.

I've been sick. Obviously having a mid-90s-hit binge.
Okay, anyone who says this movie isn't great movie actually might be an asshole, lol. I know there is some hipster idea that it isn't good (I would have thought that I got that idea exclusively from This is the End, but then i saw a filmmaker friend of mine say it). Fuck that shit. It is amazing. Especially where Forrest is responsible for Watergate. Not to mention that it was a breakthrough technologically. Super duper classic that I will love until the end of time.

The movie is worth it I think. Great shots of L.A. Nice soundtrack. Pacino might be on the edge of over the top in a few scenes, but it’s solid.
The same with The Matrix, which I frist read was being shown on 35mm on the 23d if July. But turned out it was IN BORING June.
