Is it really so long?

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2000)

This is a great movie. It's clearly the only one that's fighting with American Beauty for the Oscar. Sure is long. But come on, the best movies of all time were 3 hours long or so. The Godfather, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypsis Now, Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, ..... When a movie has such character development as this one, it's easy to take 3 hours to complete. Who complains about this, surely will not like any other 3 hour movie and will probably prefer hi-tech, pre-chewed movies. 10 out of 10.
