“BE CHEERFUL, SIR. OUR REVELS NOW ARE ENDED.”

Watched this movie over a course of days in English class and we finally finished this dang thing today & I'm majorly conflicted on it, on one hand it has a beautiful opening and characterization of Calibab and Ferdinand but also on the other the made the other mc’s just plain boring in my opinion

I would genuinely give this zero stars if I could. How do you fuck up this much.
