This movie is a terrific existential daymare… I enjoyed this more than the book. I tried watching it with an alternating current of perception: knowing the book, then pretending otherwise.

Although a lot of it is exaggerated and deviates from the real history, it was still a powerful watch like when I originally saw it nearly 20 years ago…even amongst all the cheesiness, my heart was all over the place rewatching this…there’s a lament to this…
