Line of Events
After decades alone, a wealthy family living in a salt mine encounters a stranger.. Joshua Oppenheimer described the film as an exploration of whether we as human beings can come to a place where our guilt is too much to recover from our pasts..
First of all, I personally don’t have enough appreciation for this movie
The theme might be good, the director tries so hard for a storyline, but it’s not a good enough one. The actors and actresses should be appreciated for their hard work, but their efforts certainly didn’t pay off in a long, tedious musical (if you can call this monotonous a golden age style musical?).I don’t understand nowadays why directors cannot do a good movie within 2 hours, or even 1.5 hours.
The movie drags and drags, flat without any unexpected twists
I am sorry to say this, but I feel like sitting in the college classroom again, listening to an old privileged white man teach me a lesson about environmentalism, humanity and apocalypse. I am trying really hard to not get bored or annoyed but fail miserably, yet I stayed there for the end because I paid tuition, just like I paid for this movie ticket.So.
Just a personal opinion, but I bet you can save yours too
If I could ever travel back in time and save me 2.5 hours and 35 dollars, I would.
