Oh man there really is brownface in this one huh. Like BROWN brownface. Like they painted her brown. Why wouldn’t they just cast a real Indigenous person for either of the main Indigenous roles like it befuddles me greatly. Idk. God I missed hearing the name Coop……. brings me back to when I was sick in a different way (sick rn which is why I’ve sorta been on hiatus) and watched all of Twin Peaks in like one week. I think I’ve mentioned Twin peaks in another recent review huh. It weighs heavy on my mind. GOD straight people bore me sometimes which is why all these movies are like worse than how my brain feels on my (prescribed) hydromorphone. Something is wrong. The score is killing me. I’m going 2 be normal about Robert Redford tiny waist big sideburns on a horse cause it’s not pride month anymore happy Canada day 🇨🇦🇨🇦 Btw there are like 3 scenes that are basically shot for shot from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Katharine Ross please have my children
Next: (skipping a Downhill Racer rewatch) Little Fauss and Big Halsy
