It's a slow movie and it's a long movie. It's the kind of movie you need to appreciate, but you also need to be able to appreciate it. It's simple, really. A basic premise with a much deeper content. The characters are strong and compelling and the story is framed exceptionally well. Most consider it the best ever, so I'm sorry it's at eighty-eight for all you New York Times critics out there, but hey. Six years ago, I would have been too young to include it at all. Progress.

Tune in tomorrow for number eighty-seven!
I love it. Shows the best and worst if what people can do and be.
