Scorcese's "The Age of Innocence". Two hours into this movie and still no one got whacked or told to go fuck their mother.

This one finally clicked for me and I enjoyed it. That was a few months ago. Before that, it was one or two failed viewings. I think I didn’t understand Michelle Phfieffer’s backstory the first time and just didn’t care about any of the relationships. But that last viewing, I did. And I appreciated the performance of Winona Ryder more. Everything in that movie is in the subtext. Everyone knows what’s going on but everyone has to keep a superficial appearance because of the norms.

I tried to watch this. I forced myself to keep watching long after I wanted to shut it off but eventually I had to. Life is too short.
