"Perhaps this appealed to others. Perhaps I've skewed what the movie was all about. I just couldn't sit through it."
No, you haven't skewed anything. You hit the nail right on the head. If you have any doubts, think Oliver Stone... he was the director.
Thanks. Some opinions that I formed long ago remain, but the underpinnings have faded. Yes, Oliver Stone does explain a lot. If pressed I'd have probably recalled that he was involved. That guy is such a waste. Any movie he has ever worked on has turned to fecal matter.
