The way he hears everything as well as be this moral compass for the film.

I've never seen a film tackle the repression of violence quite like this one does. There's so much in it that works for me. That scene you mentioned, where it just <i>stays</i> on De Niro's face, is astounding. And the conclusion via narration always slays me, especially how Brad Pitt's character is described. I'm glad you watched it after having heard so much about it!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.com
