I had someone tell me that, and was incredibly let down. Maybe I just didn't get it.
I mean no offense to the previous poster but I feel like it was fine. A lot of people talked about Joaquin Phoenix being amazing but I felt like they just haven't seen his amazing performances haha.
I probably wouldn't like a lot of his amazing performances.
Give them a shot some time. The Master is probably my favorite performance of his although it's in a good not great movie.
Thatβs fair, Iβd argue that a viewer being able to closely relate to the protagonist or a character in the film is what changes their view of the film.
For example, Iβve heard a lot of people love the Black Panther movie and the antagonist. I personally never liked the movie, nor relate to the movie at all, but I can understand someone relating to being an oppressed minority in American urban cities and the desire to rise up.
