ladyjanelly A good movie, but not very enjoyable. If that makes sense.
I think the problem was I didn't like any of the characters they explored and they didn't explore the characters I might have liked.
There's a limit to how much grim I can take as a viewer without any joy to go with it.
DDL was an amazing actor in it and everything was so painfully real.
Still, not a pleasurable experiance.
Except at the very beginning when he sets dynamite and then isn't strong enough to pull his bucket of tools out of the shaft.
I so wanted a caption on that:
NOOO! MAH BUKIT! I BLOWED IT UP!
