51. "I'm used to shutting up about movies I liked" In response to In response to 50
If I managed to keep quiet about the Passion of the Christ while I was in Divinity School, then a live-and-let-live approach to a tough nut like Three Billboards that intentionally rushed into a pretty idiosyncratic political background should be easy. But I can't stand the notion that there's something facile about this film.
If people keep testing me on this, I'm going to make my students watch it. I've got sixty six young, shape-able minds this semester and I'm ... not very professional. Stakes are high.
