Marmot M @RT88946856 08/30/2024 This movie reminds me of the quote from Oscar Wilde, something to the effect that life is too important to take seriously. I think this is a fantastically funny film if you look at it with the right frame of mind.

Lots of effort went into the physical acting. I did get a liitle bored at the half way mark and struggled to hang in there... didn't care much for all the back stories. There isn't much complexity to the story either. But overall a really good production with some nice artistic flourishes. See more 11/16/2021 This review contains spoilers. A very interesting dive into America in the 60s. The representation of trauma as a result of racism and segregation and the black man yelling "White Supremacy!" while wearing a pillowcase with the KKK symbol. It's very shocking. Johnny being confident he'll retain his sanity, only to have a schizophrenic breakdown in the end... Tragic. This film has a big critical-political undertone, Fuller makes you think, maybe those who are deemed insane or mute have something to be said. "When we sleep, there's no difference between an insane and a sane man". See more 10/25/2019 Great Writing. The Confederates story is amazingly interesting and emotionally touching. I really appreciate how this movie is at first an investigative detective story but turns out to be a heavily complex film that critiques America. It's a tiny bit formulaic, and ends kind of exactly how you expect it to but it's still pretty great. There's some amazing shots too.
