On the one hand I thought maybe they were making light of serious stuff- which you might do just by casting him, but on the other hand he is also simplifying complicated ideas because he's so relatable (he's always been a teacher in my mind). Now, is that just a sentimental way to deal with big questions? OR is that actually the best way. I wondered.

As an incredible added bonus, following the movie was a fascinating Q&A with Keir Dullea. (Who looks a lot better than the old version of himself from the movie.) <br /><br />The movie looked and sounded fantastic, and it played tremendously to the audience of the sold-out show. The audience cheered at the appropriate points and remained silent throughout the rest of the film. I was surprised when I saw milling around during the intermission to hear the amount of people who had never seen the movie before. The standing ovation at the end of the movie was so long that it almost carried into the standing ovation for the Keir Dullea interview. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better movie-going experience. They used an archive print which was flawless except for some forgivable scratches during the beginning play-in and the closing credits. Overall the best movie experience of my life to date. <br /><br />Also props to AFI for letting people bring outside food and drink into an almost 3 hour movie.

It's been a long time since I saw a movie that haunted me so deeply stepping out of it. The cinematography by Roger Deakins alone is worth the ticket price.Cord is Boredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01909258849346607236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-55275106301281834292015-11-09T09:36:43.055-06:002015-11-09T09:36:43.055-06:00Haha.
