I know when I finished up a couple years ago and waded my way through those last few I'd been putting off (in my case The Deer Hunter, Slumdog Millionaire and Schindler's List) I was glad I didn't have to make it a point to see something I normally wouldn't. I will say though that while I can't say I enjoyed Schindler's List it was an excellent film...the other two not so much. <br /><br />As far as this one goes I hated it but some of that is tempered by my experience with it. I was managing a movie theatre when it was out and it played endlessly, there was a problem with the projector and the film caught fire! So not a pleasant memory but even before that I thought it was a breathtakingly beautiful bore. Joan Chen was good from what I recall.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
