So neither one of you, you were not present at this retrospective.

It was, well, I mean, you can go see a movie.

It was great, but he was there for almost all the Q&As.

I saw him do a Q&A at a double feature of Year of Living Dangerously and The Mosquito Coast.

That's cool.

And then I think he just gave, like, a talk.

I think there was, like, a 90-minute, like, discussion some other day.

His muggiest movies.

Yeah.

I had already liked those movies, but seeing them at Walter Reed on film with him, it was like, man, these are the best, like...

I saw Gallipoli there.

I saw a bunch of movies because I was kind of filling in the gap.

Sure.

And it was a really successful series for me.

on getting to that that's strange because to me this is an incredibly easy to watch movie I found this film so hard to watch like the I'm getting to that is like well it's 170 minutes long everybody thinks it's bad this is like this is 133 yeah but that's short yeah but it's rock'em sock'em

I would say very early in the movie.

You don't think the gulag break is Rock'em Sock'em?

You know, they're not like... There's no reason not to think that.

He had achieved that at this point for almost 30 years straight.

I play this movie in Cinematrix all the time.
