Viewing Notes

Had to card the entire row behind us five minutes into the film for talking. Sheesh. You’re in a fucking Drafthouse ya goddamn oldsters.

I thought the movie was great. I might try to see it again in an Atmos theater but the screentimes are far and few between in any sort of premium format screen at AMC.

It’s interesting to mentally contrast this with Scott’s NAPOLEON: two very different approaches to a biography. While the scale and focus of Mann’s is smaller and more personal, it does what Scott’s doesn’t, which is to bring the subject into focus during a critical time period in his life. However, it lacks a lot of the spectacle of Scott’s NAPOLEON.
