Two hours of torture... Worth it

Living in Shanghai for 8 years, I hate cockroaches, especially the oversized ones. And I was very hungry last night, so I must have something to eat. I was ashamed to see that I actually fell asleep and continued to make up in the afternoon. I admit that I naturally miss a lot of ingenuity, so I'll give it a moderate score for now. No way, who made this a William S. Burroughs story, Cronenberg's interpretation. Although they are the same Beat Generation, Burroughs and Kerouac's styles are still far from each other, and they feel a little bit of a blow. Within the framework of Burroughs' legendary biographical story, the film's metaphors for drugs, sex and gender are intriguing. If you don't think about it for the second time, it doesn't make much sense to watch it the first time. I'm on a pirate ship... In addition, I met the supporting actress Judy Davis in Coen Brothers' Barton Fink, which is really powerful, unique and amazing!

Faithful advice to the vast majority of people who haven't seen the movie: if you're not a William S. Burroughs or David Cronenberg diehard, this movie is best not to try. Of course, people like me who have seen it are also honored - it is a good thing to experience Burroughs, and not understanding it does not affect his reverence.

Going to listen to REM's Star Me Kitten with his vocals again, maybe there will be something different.
