    Yeah, it's lacking enough as it is. You don't need to accuse it of serving a republican agenda or anything like that. Lincoln, on the other hand...

    Lol, Thomas says it well. This was just a bunch of stuff. This sums up this film for me. Some of it was beautiful but it made no sense to me whatsoever, logically, emotionally, poetically. Don't want to rob those who loved it of their pleasant memories so I stay out of this thread. I pretty much much fall in line with Tomo and Aur and Buster here. To me it was like experimental community theatre on film.

    Well that's not to say Zeitlin is conciously making a very conservative film, but I do find that the film romanticizes poverty quite a bit.

    Cinnamon and Thomas, you are very right. As I expressed a while back there's lots of "stuff" - be it political/social/environmental - but it never actually amounts to anything whatsoever. The praise is very baffling to me.

    I am sorry if I have hurt people who responded to this film.
    I really wish it was better.

    Loved the score and thought Wallis was very good. The rest? I really don't know what to think.
