Boring and Slow

Rating: 4/10 (23 January 2019)

I think portraying the movie in black and white was an awesome way to show the time period this movie takes place. I think the director did a really good job getting the setting right. The problems I have with this movie are just how slow and boring it is. This movie has hard shot after hard shot and is carried almost solely by dialogue. It was just a very redundant movie with the same thing taking place over and over again. Another thing is that whenever senator McCarthy was speaking they had it in the background of the movie. If this is the main conflict of the movie why is it being played in the background. I think this movie requires historical knowledge about the event for you to enjoy it. I watched this for a class and when the teacher would stop to give some background information the movie made more sense.
