One of those Great American Novels that just so happens to be an original motion picture screenplay.

Mangaka still needs to find variety to counteract Momo without resorting to gross sexual assault. That aside, Direction still stellar. Sound is bananas. Dub cast does great work. Looking forward to Science Saru fuckin around in Season 2. Is Abel Gongora Spanish?

More inspired than you'd expect. Even if it feels like more than just the hard-core has been trimmed. Final segment is the most intriguing.

Mi madre told me that if the girlfriend didn't like this movie, it isn't meant to be.

In many ways the anti-Gone with the Wind of the Hollywood epics. Similar situation and concepts, but far different approaches. This film actually addresses the racism that GWTW wouldn't dare touch due to the racial atmosphere at the time, though Civil Rights still had a ways to go when this was released.

I really ired the arc that Rock Hudson's character had, actually making me care for him as a performer for the first time. Liz Taylor is luminary as always. And James Dean's metamorphosis from rough edged ranch hand to drunkenly Howard Hughes archetype was certainly something to behold au cinema.
