Misty eyes. Because I was bored to tears.
16 February 2018
I saw this film in a local movie theatre around 30 years ago. And it is true. I am an ignorant. I didn't understand much of it.

I don't remember much now either, except being bored to insanity and beyond by the pretentious blabbering, wriggling in my chair, hoping that the gorgeous and probably smarter girl in the seat beside me wouldn't understand that I was too stupid for this movie, knowing that some cultural highbrow jerk would describe it as "marvelous, fantastic, beautiful" or, even more likely, use other words that I probably wouldn't understand either.

Long. So long. How long can a movie be?

On our way out of the theatre, probably after around two and a half months in the seat, I heard a woman dressed in her elitist, purple uniform talk about the "pretty landscape and the use of light". Then I knew that she hadn't understood anything either, but was never going to tell anyone.

I am however thankful. I survived. It didn't kill me outright, even if it scarred me for life. Which is why I am doubling the score.

Avoid, unless you have a potential partner to impress and are willing and able to serve your time in the chair to reap a possible reward afterwards. Remember comfy pants.

But I never even got the girl. I told you she was smart.
