Going Places is Gerard Depardieu.
I believe this is the movie that made him a movie star.
And I don't know how to describe it other than it's like two French sexual harassers drive around France and are bad people.
No, but they do approach a breastfeeding mom on a train and one of them ends up breastfeeding from the woman.
This is one of the reasons I feel like I'm not successful in this business is that now when I go with the hit maker name says thing that is not true.
Or maybe I could have moved the push the stone up the hill a little more if I wasn't going into like general meetings and being like, hey, I had an idea for a show.
Has a few aspects of this, but also, have you ever seen Going Places?
Because now, like, the content is up for discussion.
But there is no denying that I think this movie might have one of the funniest edit runner I've ever seen of these two men approaching a situation like the director puts all the elements together of something that's happening.
And then it smash cuts to them running away while the event is like.
The aftermath of the event is in the background.
And it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
And you can't believe that you go through this movie.
I think the magic trick of this thing is that these are two of the worst people you've ever seen.
And yet...
they are not really portrayed as heroes, but they are sympathetic or you are empathetic to them.
Like you find yourself wanting them to do better and they don't.
And then the final shot of the movie then kind of tells you why it's called Going Places.
And I don't know, it was like another one.
