An acquired taste,, spoilers
Some people love to take the time to adapt themselves at liking or loving, say slimy ol oysters... or cow brains...
Just because people don't want to invest lots of time into watching different movies that are "boring" and slow and don't keep ones attention doesn't mean that they have no taste... It just don't taste good to them now, so many say why waste any time trying to acquire a taste to something that don't taste good do now.
Some people seeing that as being narrow minded, some people see it as being sensible...
To me time is valuable. If I watch a movie that bores me to tears and the only way I am ever going to like it is by watching a hundred other movies that bores me to tears, than I see that as a colossal waste of time and life..
It was just boring. Just sharing my take on this.. Meritorious is a matter of acquired taste in my opinion...
The movie is like oysters... something I never acquired the taste for... and like oysters I won't invest any time into trying to acquire the taste for this particular movie. One viewing was more than enough to know what it tasted like... Not nearly as shocking as my one taste of oysters though. Might have been better if it would have been.. lol
Anyway... it takes all kinds to make the world go round. I am just as weird to you as you are to me... Hard to understand how anyone could think this movie is deserving of meritorious mention. Probably very hard for those to understand how I could possibly disagree... or are they just superior to me??
I am a woodworker... I have seen works of art made of wood that literally astounded me on the time and the technique it took to make that piece of art. But the labor and technique to produce it doesn't necessarily mean the end product is wonderful or meritorious other than for one fact. The methods and technique are meritorious. Like this movie many that rave about it rave about the editing methods and linear this and that...But the final product, not so wonderful. My uneducated opinion of course.
It did a great job of extending time beyond many humans ability to withstand. And hey if that is what floats someone's boat than awesome...
I just dislike the tone from many, which are the stuffy, we are film critic fabric and you are obviously a Steven Segal movie watcher, and have no taste nor education or understanding of etc. etc. etc... That really makes me sick... bunch of arrogant arses... Reading half the posts from the uppity ones made me think I was sitting at the table with the rich folk in the titanic with Rose and Jack. And so made me feel like venting a bit..
