I’m drained. I don’t know what to write. Really powerful stuff. Such unique guerilla filmmaking style which just perfectly suited the subject matter. This lil z guy made Joe Pescis goodfellas character look like a saint

Epic in scope. The thought of putting together this many characters and storylines into a coherent movie is mind-boggling to me. Reminds me of the feeling I had after A Brighter Summer Day
