Viewing Notes

Another big screen bucket list movie scratched off the list. So happy to finally witness this on the big screen. Definitely a film that deserves and earns it. The scenes at the top of the tower are magnificent. I’ve gone back and forth over the years as to whether this is my favorite Jodo film. This viewing doesn’t make it any easier to decide.

My midnight viewing was slightly marred by a couple of asshats near me that felt the need to talk loudly during the entire movie. I actually had to get up and move to another location. Wouldn’t hurt the MBT to run a no talking PSA.

Print was in decent shape. Really a movie everyone needs to see.
