Viewing Notes

hard to believe it’s taken me this long to finally see this movie on the big screen again. I say this because it’s always on the big screen somewhere this time of the year and usually always at the Music Box. I didn’t go MBT for this since it was showing at Regal Cinemas Lincolnshire for $5.20. It was a better viewing experience than it would’ve been at MBT.

I’ve seen this movie so many times it’s like a warm blanket. The entire final sequence is so good and gets me every time.

Things I noticed seeing it big are the attention to all the small details like inside George’s home, Potter’s office and in the Building & Loan. The sets look real and lived in. I love that black skull sitting on Potter’s desk. I also love the crow and squirrel at the Building & Loan.
