i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.

this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did

I turned off Oppenheimer, felt so pretentious and over the top serious to me. I already knew people love it, though.

thank you! i also couldn’t stand that movie. watching oppenheimer felt like watching a 3 hour trailer for oppenheimer. i can’t understand nolan’s refusal to let a scene last for more than 1 minute
