    Rage against the dying of the light.

    I urge to revisit this film every once in a while, and everytime I'm done watching it I'm reminded why.

    It becomes truer every passing year, and it's hurt, passionate appeal is quintessential.

    I believe everyone should watch it at least once, in a quiet room, alone.

    If you haven't yet, take this as your reminder.

    ★★★½

    Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    "And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."

    Nietzsche's quote kept popping into mind as i sat at an unusually small movie theater, engrossed by this film.
    I knew next to nothing about it going it, but came out pleasently surprised.
    This film is a trip.

    A film about the corruption brought on by power in desperate situations.
