Happy Life
Auto-translated
Well, what about "Gran Torino," for example? I liked it. It's a good movie that you won't regret watching.
But I just finished watching "Zodiac." Two and a half hours of time wasted. Reading Articles about serial killers online a few years ago, including this particular one, was interesting; watching this movie was not. It's a slow, boring, tedious film, and the only positive thing for me was Robert Downey Jr.'s performance. Not entirely, though. There's absolutely nothing interesting for me here. There's nothing here at all, except for a two-and-a-half-hour investigation. Can you call this an intellectual film? I don't think so. What's intellectual about a film that just throws one fact after another, another after the third, the tenth after the fifth? Without any real attempt to connect anything, except for some sluggish shuffling at the end. It's like filling a vessel with sand. It's also a jumble of dates, people, and events. One minute you see one group of people on the screen, the next minute another, then a third. You lose track after an hour. Was it my fault that I already knew the main spoiler long before watching it? THE KILLER WAS NEVER FOUND. I doubt it. But my eyes pick out the film from Mr. Fincher's filmography, and my brain realizes that this is one of the last three he made. I've seen all three, and all three are the epitome of boredom. Whether it's "The Social Network," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," or "Zodiac." Each one of them. Each. I watched it and felt like I'd eaten garbage. And I stepped on the same rake again. I'll be more careful with this guy in the future.
Over time, the style of his films has changed! Mr. Fincher has started making truly intelligent films! - a Fincher fanboy will say. It's his right to be a fanboy. But I think he's gone downhill. But a true connoisseur of his work will disagree with me. He'll say that I don't understand anything and that I'm a philistine. Again, it's his right. I've said everything I wanted to say.
Don't watch it, you'll thank me later.

My sword, my trusted ally, unphased by my aspect.
