Probably Scarlette's best rendering?

I like some of the conversation in the 1st half of the film and I think the 2nd half of the film projects a different tone because it's very dramatized, whereas the tone of the 1st half is well set up by profound thoughts, meaningful conversation and some of the fine silent moments.

I know that this story has one theme surrounding Chris and this story has to be completed. But it could have been divided into 2 films so that scarlette's acting wouldnt be wasted in the end. The fact that Nola looks so real because she's a jailbait and a failed actress-wanna-be at the same time, makes the death of herself a bit overwhemingly dramatized just because she's the mistress of a schizophrenic asshole.

There could be a film about this schizophrenic asshole and there could be another one for Nola with a better ending.

    After 120 minutes of nervousness, such luck can only show that God is unfair.

    This is a really cold and desperate movie, and it's wonderful. The second time I used this word recently, Woody is awesome, increases his intelligence with each passing year, and sees life clearly. Being able to rub the tennis ball rolling or bouncing back can explain the luck of life so clearly, and by the way, I also discussed love and sex, charm is accompanied by cruelty. The ring bounced back and thought it would be unavoidable to escape sanctions, and the mystery was revealed just as evidence of exoneration.
