ok i just watched this for the first time (redux). while watching it i felt like i was watching a masterpiece but almost right after it felt like i had just wasted 3 hours. the transition from more comedy to drama was appreciated but random shit like the French people make no sense. the ending while alright is too anticlimactic. no it doesnt need to be full closure but its shockingly weak.
for praise i liked the racist undertones although the one at the playboy dance scene weakened the overall effect. the water buffalo slaughter feels mich too forced and the puppy feels like the director forgot. overall idk, 6/10. maybe could have been 9/10 if i was watching the non redux
