Viewing Notes

For my 90s revisit project. Definitely have not seen this since the theatrical release. Forgot how long the intro is with them as children was. There’s a lot there before they get to the older cast. Also forgot Angela Bassett and Larry Fishburne were in this. Still a very good movie that continues (sadly) to resonate today.
