Stylez nailed it with " That's a long time to spend with uninteresting, stupid, evil pieces of shit."

I don't know. I've been trying to figure out if I'd "gone woke" or I would have felt the same way 20 years ago.

I mean, I watched Temple of Doom this week and still enjoyed the heck out of it (though I kinda think that movie was satire in the vein of Starship Troopers making fun of how racist and sexist old Hollywood films were).

Also, I was totally prepared to be into this movie even if it were shaping up to be a white savior movie which I thought it was the first hour in.

Relatedly, I think the storytelling was flawed because Leo's character wasn't revealed to be a baddie until an hour in and in the least dramatic and confusing way. Like I thought he was setting up the guy to steal his car in order to prevent him from killing his in laws.

I dug De Niro as a villain because it presented a different kind of Indian hater but to center the movie on Leo just seemed like an expedious choice just because he was the biggest name attached to the movie, not because his character is at all interesting.
