constantly overwhelmed by how many Films i haven’t watched yet
this was stunning, both in terms of the technical excellence of the film and the sheer amount of violence that unfolds over two hours. we’re introduced to so many characters, only to watch helplessly as they get caught in the crossfires of desperation, greed, anger, and grief. amidst the chaos fueled by guns and drugs, there are enough moments of awkwardness, innocence, and love included that we can never get numbed to the fact that these are all humans who are just trying to live somewhere where getting to grow old is not a privilege everyone is afforded.
