impossible to say if this is anyway a good film or if hugh grant and julia roberts are just incredibly attractive

seeing this made me finally understand the anger people felt at watching leo lose oscar after oscar

how the fuck did al pacino win his first and only oscar in 1993. what the fuck. what the fuck. is this allowed? is this allowed? is this al

one of a handful of films to ever actually genuinely qualify as being a cultural reset

is it unrelentingly bleak? yes. does the scene where al pacino cradles kitty winn’s face and says ‘you’re my girl’ make up for all of it? also yes.

everyone in this film is so attractive and charming by the end i felt like i could vibrate through walls

not this terrible movie closing on a sufjan stevens song.....

what do you want? well?

when marc notices sieg always has one sock up and one sock down 🥺 when sieg sneaks back to the river to swim with marc 🥺 when they go bike riding in the middle of the night 🥺 when sieg’s trying to pick a t shirt to wear to go swimming w marc 🥺 like just the sweetness & softness combined with the hesitation & clumsiness of two boys falling in love.... inject it into my veins!!!

ykw i think the suffragettes would have enjoyed it and that’s what it’s all about

the three thoughts that played in my head on a loop throughout: robert de niro has the loveliest smile i’ve ever seen, this is sorta gay, and war is hell

“when i am with him, smoking or talking quietly ahead, or whatever it may be, i see, beyond my own happiness or intimacy, occasional glimpses of the happiness of thousands of others whose names i shall never hear, and know that there is a great unrecorded history.”
- e.m. forster

cant believe i actually enjoyed a five hour long film but i guess thats just the power of robert de niro, communism and homoerotic undertones
