A different way of telling a story
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
