I figured mine would be older...<br /><br />Like pretty much every guy, I'm a big Portman fan, and I was interested in seeing her performance. On top of that, I'm totally fascinated by the Kennedys, as they were something bordering legendary in my house growing up. My parents didn't revere much...but the Kennedys seemed special to them in some way.<br /><br />I m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-73951983470857918582017-04-25T16:31:56.313-04:002017-04-25T16:31:56.313-04:00Hey, our moms are the same age!
I'm astounded...Hey, our moms are the same age!<br /><br />I'm astounded you 1. started watching it 2. finished watching it. This was one tough watch. I admired the movie and quite liked Portman here (I think she is way overrated, I barely even nominate her) but it was...well ambitious but not very entertaining in a sense it didn't really move me. It's the film I recognize is good and unique but I s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-76239275736842821072017-04-25T15:14:44.233-04:002017-04-25T15:14:44.233-04:00I was all in for Stone immediately after La La Lan...I was all in for Stone immediately after La La Land (yeah, I was that guy), but I'm not sure how in the Hell Portman goes home empty handed. <br /><br />As for this flick, it's well done top-to-bottom, but nothing I would ever want to revisit. The grieving process is certainly compelling...but f--k, it's anything but enjoyable.m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-54544432204386756562017-04-25T12:53:21.077-04:002017-04-25T12:53:21.077-04:00Totally agree with your review; the film felt ardu...Totally agree with your review; the film felt arduous, but boy did Natalie give one of her best performances. She really should have gotten that Oscar over Emma Stone...what a joke.

It's very relentless. Portman should have won that Oscar. I loved that part about how she doesn't smoke! Any thoughts on the score? That was one of my favorite parts.

The Johnson's were the worst. Of course, after the film, I read all kinds of shit and you can't help but stumble onto that photo of Johnson being sworn in on Air Force One. Unbelievable.<br /><br /m.brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457418128925003938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369116000753884175.post-59152683562079183712017-04-25T08:31:53.027-04:002017-04-25T08:31:53.027-04:00I hate that Natalie Portman didn't win an Osca...I hate that Natalie Portman didn't win an Oscar for this. She was so good. I never thought of the film as a two hour funeral service but you're right, it really is.<br /><br />Fuck the Johnsons. That photo you used of Jackie standing there all bloody as he's sworn is is so gross. I lol'd pretty hard when Bobby told him to sit down at a later time.
