Point Break

The politics feels like a 14yo girl discovered what capitalism is, and a lot of the script is very concept driven rather then character driven, things happens just because. however the movie doesn’t insist to much on its politics, and some of the just because moments of the script are incredible, and tbh…I just can’t shake that awe feeling while watching some of these scenes. My main problem is the fact that the whole thing is to forgiving, I don’t really mind that the characters are unlikable.  I’m somewhat disappointed that I didn’t like it more, since I bought like 30 blu rays, and this was my most anticipated one, not to mention I adore Speed(1994). But it’s still great, just could’ve been better. - Watch it if you want some mindless action, but it’s not as brilliant on certain things like some people might say. - Also I’m sorry but this quote: “This was never about the money for us. It was about us against the system… that system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human spirit is still alive.” Was dumb and made no sense in the contax of the movie, if anything I think it was used to say something about the hypocrisy of the character. But I’m definitely reaching here, IDK this quote came off as annoying not as deep. Sidenote: this is like the one movie where the “fellas is it gay” letterbox jokes are actually funny.
