Yeah, i know that i shouldn't have tried to write anything when i'm so tired that i can't remember what i've said in previous sentence. of course i should've put CK in its context, timewise, and i truly think that most of the pictures from which the film is assembled, are absolutely stunning. and it's huge, epic, massive, technically fine and worth of many more superlatives - i acknowledge it's status and what it has meant for people in film industry, but i still can't say that it's the greatest movie ever made for me. or something.
just watched, and loved:
