(with COMM 444) it’s not for me i like the slight commentary about slavery but nothing is really expanded upon and this movies best moments are when it just gets hilarious but it can’t seem to do it nearly often enough

Needed more of Strathairn and the director as the men in black. They moved like they did everything backwards but had the film reversed.

This is so good and so well acted.
Boy do I love righteous silent characters with unforeseen powers.
Definitely worth a watch this the only kind of fish out of water trope I like.
