Pardon me if there's been a topic on this, but I'vte got some scotch in me and I saw the movie yesterday and wanted to talk about it.
Great film, however, I believe there could have been many cuts to shorten the length. I felt many scenes were unnecessary (H.W. scenes mostly), despite what some may say to justify them on the base of the character study.
I know a lot of people praised the soundtrack, and I certainly think overall it was good for Jonny Greenwood (I fucking loathe that Radiohead shit.) The parts of the soundtrack that I thought fit the movie were great, reminded me of some 70's krautrock with pulsing beats and avant-garde string sections, but then there were many aspects I thought were completely out of place for the tone of the scene or film in general.
All in all I thought the commentary on capitalism versus religion were actually pretty interesting, but the film was so damned long that I couldn't stand it.
