    Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

    ★★★★

    many people will say this is better than the film itself... I think it is futile to compare apples and oranges. Or rather it is like comparing an apple to the apple tree from which it fell. The tree is sturdy, ever-present, and yields a lifetime of delicious apples. But you can't eat the tree. And the book is better anyway.

    Look, I'm no intellectual. So, naturally, I struggled to wrap my head around the political subtext of this film. I couldn't help but feel as though there was some kind of subtle commentary on our society, but I couldn't quite grasp the message! Mark Ruffalo's character did seem oddly familiar to me (was he based on a famous politician or something?) but then what the heck were those red hats supposed to represent? How confusing. I'm sure all will be revealed in Mickey 18.

    Pretty sad film. I liked the plot. Excellent plot. Might rewatch just to enjoy the plot some more. I didn't like the middle hour with all the noisy shouting and screaming.

    A very pro-cat movie. I wouldn't call it anti-dog, even though all but one of the dogs are clearly shown to be bad guys, which is to be expected for such a heavily cat-based film. Quite emotional and stressful at times but overall very cute and fun
