 I can't add that one only because I read the script like 5 years before it was released (wasn't even greenlit), and absolutely fell IN LOVE with it. It was SO good... but then i went to the theater just excited out of my mind, and they completely gutted basically the most profound moments and theme of the story and I was dumbfounded. I hated that movie the first time i watched it because I kept trying to figure out how it was going to end the way it had in the script...

That said, since my passionate aggression to the film diverting from the story i loved has subsided, the movie is much better than i gave it credit for.  It will likely always be a tainted film experience for me because of that reason though. i kinda wish i had the opportunity to watch it "unburdened by what has been" 🤣
