For people who managed to watch the whole movie - congratulations. I gave up after 20-30 mins. For those of you who are planning to watch it - don't waste 3 hours of your life. Believe me, it's not worth it. This is one of the most overrated movies ever. And that's a compliment. I believe people are blinded by the names involved in making it. It's just bad. Nothing really happens in it. It's just borring. A big strike out. And the beginning with the whole painting houses thing...it's said so many times, it's just lame. People that call this a masterpiece are the same type of people that would pay 120.000$ for a banana taped to the wall (look it up). Masterpiece compared to what ? Movie 43 ?
