yeah i didn't regard it as a particular difficult film at all.

but people are different and at different levels. tons of people in this thread seem to flip out at the notion some films aren't for everyone. not everyone reads at the same grade level, but for some reason the idea of films being at different levels is very offensive to folks.

running a marathon is a lot harder than running a mile. and we have people who can't run a mile telling us marathons are stupid and shouldn't exist.

Thanks for explaining that different people like different movies. Truly groundbreaking stuff, right up there with the marathon metaphor.
