Why all the love??
There were a few interesting scenes like the ones on the bridge but over all I found it really dull. Don't get me wrong, I love some slow going films like THE DEER HUNTER and APOCALYPSE NOW but this was far from being in the same league and I thought the main drawback was the characters. None of them were likable because we didn't really know that much about them. There should have been more of a backstory on each of them imho. Of course I heard so much about this film over the years that I probably built it up to something in my mind that it couldn't live up to. If you love this film, tell me why. Did you see it in the theater when you were young and is it more about nostalgia and is it one of those films that you grew to appreciate? Maybe with time I will see what you see but for now I was underwhelmed.
