I think I would have preferred the twenty minute short film they should have sent out for Oscar Noms. The film looked beautiful even in 2D. But I felt like I spent most of the 2010's watching it. For DM, I did at one point turn to the Queen and say "Now I know what Elijah Wood looks like when he was younger"
But it was beautiful. Those opening shots into the train station were the best. All I could think was that Scorcese must have been dreaming of that shot since he did the steadi-cam shot in Goodfellas. It also confused because it also made the film look like it was going to be completely Motion-Capture. When the got to the first shot of Elijah Wood, I thought wow had they come a long way with Photo-realism. Then I realized it was just realism realism.
Glad I saw it. Would like to cut about thirty minutes out of the running time.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
