I use this site mostly as an archiving place of what I’ve watched.
2.5 stars is the average for scores around here.
Tried to give this a second shot of liking it, and while the first half delivers, the second half of the movie really falls apart and still just leaves me confused in the worst way.
When you're watching this in a theater and it gets to the live action shot of the empty cinema, it shining a mirror right back at you, that scene just hits in a completely different way.
I was forced to watch this in a history of film class, and I don't give a fuck if it's the origin of the modern cinema, it is the most racist piece of shit ever and actively birthed a hate group. It is not worth any level of respect besides a spittoon.
Rewatching this movie after 20+ years was like reawakening latent sleep paralysis demons that have been haunting my brain nonstop.
