Review

hadn’t seen this one in a while. it surprised me how humorous it was, something i had evidently forgotten, and it goes a long way. the three hour run time wasn’t too bad on the whole. there have been 100 minute films that have felt longer. the ending does get a little preachy and slows a bit. overall, though, this is a solid picture and i can understand it winning best picture since it’s a good film with some good themes and a nice balance. that said, goodfellas was still robbed. in two hours scorsese made an even more epic film that i think will age more gracefully.
