Why don't directors get the concept of an intermission?
3h26m for a film means the movie goer isn't just in the seat for that time, but add on at least 10 to 15 min MORE for many, who have to come and claim a seat, come in get settled watch 10min+ of movie previews and theatre notes and the film begins. People sitting in their seat for nearly FOUR HOURS. Directors, wtf, we need a bathroom break! We don't want to leave and miss action on a film we paid to be in, and we can't pause it.
The editing was poor at times, jumping around. At least one point there was a non-sequitor of people seeing news of the Tulsa racial violence, slaughter of African Americans, but it hardly covers it, then immediately jumps back to the flow of the film. What was the point, other people were mistreated by American civilians, local, state, federal gov't? Yes for sure but the film is already covering that. The editing at times felt just...*jumpy* amateur.
It's an important film topic for sure, that hasn't been looked into enough, addressing the layers of how one tribe were completely abandoned mistreated by the state and federal gov't. It was embarrassing and cruel the way the gov't didn't step in and help, sheriff being incompetent, corrupt, state not doing anything, federal gov't barely getting involved even after dozens clearly murdered. After the private detective went 'missing' there should certainly have been a manhunt which would have saved others, peeled away at that rotten onion of violent yt people savagely willing to kill for a chance at dirty money inheritance.
I would have given another star as I saw MANY people get up and use the restroom during the film and I myself would have used that refresher with an intermission, the film just dragged on without one. It felt just a bit long, dragging after 2hr though would have been far better movie-going experience with an intermission.
