Thanks for finding that. Its visuals are not super important anyways.

It has wonderful performances (it's greatest strength) and an engaging, character-centric plot. I also love that it's heavy on inner conflict. The tension is subtle, at times surprising, and always effective. The movie is easily digestible (not a bad thing) and fairly straight forward. A lot like The Shawshank Redemption. It's A+ storytelling, but it's lack of visual language keeps it from elevating above many of the other films that came out in the early 90s. I adore the movie. It means a lot to me and I could watch it over and over and over again. But if it has a flaw, for me, it's that it isn't challenging enough, nor stylistically compelling enough to rise to the level of greatness.

I suppose I can't disagree with this. I am a sucker for engaging and character-centric.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
