proto one ring theme (see right before credits) Howard shore is our Handel and we are blessed

I got scared at one point that this story was going to become trapped in the mundane, that its concrete aspects would take over completely in the third act, but it pulled through and gave me everything I needed

me: sure I'm down for a kind of an easy watch

the kind of an easy watch: the real horror is the meaninglessness of escaping one bad situation in a society where women are treated as property and the cops exist solely to enforce the claims of owners

kinda gay

a visceral, motley dream
I wish they played the dance sequence again at the end
