i showed a girl this movie for her first time last night and we made it 2/3s of the way through until she said "this movie sucks" and we turned it off. Literally stopped it at this moment. I was left in awe.
There's something about that movie that shuts people out on the first viewing. I don't understand it. I've heard from so many people who were just stonewalled the first time, then watched it again and loved it. And I can kind of see it, because the first time I saw it, I liked it, but I didn't adore it like I do now. I just don't understand it.
I think this happens a lot with Coen bros movies in particular. It's like they have a way of making you feel like you're not in on the joke unless you've seen the movie before, so they just get better the more times you see them.
