Afterthought about OneBattleAfterAnother

This movie was long, 3 hour almost.  It hosted some of weird characters with conspiracy theory, mixed with current event, and the love about parent and his kid.  

I feel I did not particularly like the movie in the movie.  But I have to admit, the movie maker knows his craft and was very good at it.  For some reason, I sit here and think back, CoenBrothers came to mind.  I guess this movie maker and the brothers are both excellent movie makers.  They can create rhythm, and images that's catches people.  

There were points in the movie I felt a bit long.  But as I watched it, there were always elements of the movie kept me going, be it soundtrack, cinematic visuals, character development, or plot twist.  

I read someone thinks it's too political.  But now I thought, nay, it gave the movie too much credit.  Revolution always gives interesting flavors, they are the purest drama in the world, especially from the left.  That's where young people usually is.  

The actors in the movie was top notch.  No one wasted their times on the screen showing their faces.  And there's quite some humor in it too.  It's intentional and it works despite that.  

The movie was long, but when I saw the father and daughter reunite, I was elated and so happy.  It's not a bad movie to watch, I was certainly entertained.

Salt Then Sour Then Sweet

Lyrics

Give me the light years

But I want the dark ones, too

Grief is the singer in my band

She's a passenger van

And a shortcut straight to the truth

Learn from the nightshades

They grow in the darkest places

Had we not been stung so many times

Would we ever have arrived

At this Heaven on Earth that I don't wanna waste

Pick a lucky penny up

And I'll marry you for your money, love

So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth

Want to feel it all

Salt then sour, then sweet

Wanna kiss you and write love's name on my crumbling walls

Lay them at your feet with the rest of me

Salt then sour, then sweet

Come to the porch, love

Look up at the perfect sky

Holding the sun, and the moon, and the thundering June

While she teaches the birds and the rain how to fly

I don't need to perfect

No, I just wanna touch the truth

I wanna cherish the trying

And the living and the dying

And they make big mistakes the way kind people do

Pick a lucky penny up

And I'll marry you for your money, love

So keep the Novocain out of my wisdom teeth

Want to feel it all

Salt then sour, then sweet

Wanna kiss you and write love's name on the crumbling walls

Lay them at your feet with the rest of me

Nothing more I need (nothing more I need)

Life is lovably (life is-)

Salt then sour, then sweet

So sweet (so sweet)

So sweet

Life is lovably

So sweet, so sweet

So sweet
