Originally posted by svsg: I didn't find the wedding scene very long. Since I was expecting it to be a war film, I felt at one point that the film took too long to introduce the war. But later I realized that the movie is less about the war and more about tragedy in the lives of the characters.
sure, but the wedding scene is too long nonetheless. Another dance bit and I'd have committed suicide.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
