Viewing Notes

I struggled to watch this, mainly because the disc from Netflix was so beat up it kept skipping, which drove me nearly insane. I probably should revisit it later.

Still, I enjoyed the film, though there are a lot of heavily political sub (and not so sub) texts underlying the action and history.
