I’m just busting his balls. He’s a good guy, certainly no trouble.Why, is that movie someone's favorite ? Like I said, I don't think there was anything particularly wrong with it and I don't feel that strongly one way or the other. I just wish it had covered a bit more ground. I'm not looking for any trouble in here. I get enough of that in the PF.
I posted nearly the same exact review of that movie as you, and he acted a wee bit affronted.
Darkest Hour: 3/5 stars. Enjoyable enough throughout, but at the film’s conclusion I couldn’t help but think “So what?” I get that they wanted to focus on a very specific part of Churchill’s reign, but it ended up feeling a bit small.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: 4.5/5 stars. This is one of the best movies of the last 10 years. Sam Rockwell and Frances McDormand gave the performances of their lives. It was a movie about anger and hatred and hurt. We would all be wise to contemplate about the movie.

The entire way the modern world geo-politically speaking works, could have been altered forever. Britain goes out early, and the US potentially never enters the war, axis wins....
And then....
So what?
But YOU posed the question, so what?
I'm saying it was one of the most pivotal moments in modern history.
Would it have made for better movie making if he'd made some of those speeches while under fire from Stuka divebombers? I guess.
But if you didn't get the 'so what?' out of that movie, maybe it's not the movie's fault?
