    As some video games become more like movies, I guess some movies are becoming more like video games? I don't mean it as a criticism, but it does have an effect—it provides a boundary we can rely on that keeps us at enough of a remove to make the horrors we're witnessing watchable. I kept thinking of Come and See in comparison—a movie that doesn't allow us any distance, rendering the movie a lot more similar to what (I can only imagine) experiencing actual war is like, but a lot less watchable.

    This movie is a lot more bleak than it means to be - you have to be a slave to get anywhere in your career. Give up your humanity. As a woman, you have to have sex appeal to get anywhere. Women have to work ten times as hard as men to be successful, and betray their friends, and no man will stick around. I mean, there’s truth to these things, but I don’t think it’s the tone the movie…

    Funny, awkward, and profound moments strung together by themes of humanity. No narration, narrative, or exposition needed. It’s amazing that they form such a fully realized memoir. But after all, isn’t that exactly how we remember our lives?
