Interesting. That is one of my favorite movies of all time and I’m a big movie buff. I know a lot of people that have it as in their top ten or 25 or whatever.
If you only watched 30 minutes, then like so many things, you can’t really make a judgment.
I am an avid reader and enjoy all genres. I know many people that will pick up a book and if it doesn’t start off with a big bang or spark they give up and they are missing a lot.
My beloved father, who just died on Friday, instilled in me a love for books and he taught me that when things start slow, they are usually the best. He was, as always, so right and true. And just to give you an example, think “Green Mansions” by Hudson. Movies are often similar.
Watched it all.
My sympathy to you & your family on your loss.
