A good movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a decent reputation (it is included in the ‘The Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made’ list selected by the New York Times, among other things), I thought I might as well check it out. Well, after watching a few rather underwhelming movies released in 1940, it was really neat to finally watch something really enjoyable. Indeed, the introduction was just amazing, arguably one of the best intro ever put on the silver screen, and from this point on, I was basically hooked. However, to be honest, everything happening afterwards turned out out to be fairly generic and predictable after all.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2022: June (26 movies items)

"First viewing - June 29th HBO Max Wanted to catch this before it left HBO Max (at one point in June it was leaving 6/30, but now it leaves 7/31 so I moved it from the bottom section) & it's solid if a bit predictable. Cast is really good all around & I'm glad not every Asian character spoke in broken English since that's sadly the default for much of American cinema. Glad it ends the way it does too."
