I missed this classic

2002 happened to be the first year when I started buying DVDs, and the number of movie viewings started to skyrocket from that year. Take this film just to look back at Edward Norton, who was not a prolific actor, and who rose to fame earlier, to be exact, a blockbuster. The first time I watched him should be "Fight Club". Since "Red Dragon", it has basically been synchronously chasing films. Several films before 2000 have been watched late. This film released in the same year as "Red Dragon" was actually caught by me. It's a shame to ignore it. The director is Spike Lee, needless to say, the screenwriter, I rely on it, it is already very good, she is the screenwriter + producer of "Game of Thrones", and I have directed a few episodes myself, and my wife is actually my favorite woman. Actor Amanda Peet. Norton is too low-key, and his desire to win awards is not very strong. In recent years, I have watched less of his films. I hope he will star in more.

The supporting roles of this film are also worth mentioning. The older but deceased Philip Seymour Hoffman developed better than Norton later. He has won the best actor and debuted earlier. Coincidentally, "Red Dragon" There was also a small role in Killed, when Norton was the main character. This film is still a supporting role, and the role is not as good as that of Barry Pepper, but he should have been content with the kiss scene with Anna Paquin. Besides, Barry Pepper, this film is actually even lower than Norton, he has acted in many classic films. Rosario Dawson, who was in his early 20s, was so familiar back then, and Anna Paquin was still a high school student, so I spit it out. The amount of filming after the two female supporting roles was higher than these male stars.

Addendum to this film, by the way, nostalgic, this weekend is not a waste of time.

PS: There are a lot of F words in this film, but there are no dew point shots, and there are very few exposed shots. The dog in the poster is just a soy sauce. In other words, I guess I missed this because I thought it was a guide dog. I'm really naughty when I'm inattentive and complaining again.

Getting smashed at a basketball party and slapping girls asses. I mean, what is that? A charity A+? You wanna know why everybody always writes about their grandmothers dying? It's not because it's so traumatic. It's because it's a guaranteed A+! And you sit there all sentimental "Oh, Vince it was very powerful, very moving." No, it wasn't. You didn't care. Nobody cared. That's what grandmothers do. They die!
