listen, i know gallo is controversial and that this movie has an infamous scene...
but the slowness of this film and it's soundtrack really tap into a deep loneliness and a feeling of being lost.
i personally love the pacing and sort of aimlessness of it's long takes. roger ebert however, did not.

mostly people know this movie because of the scene, but i truly enjoy the slow sadness of the first 90% and it works for me
it probably helps that it has a great score

I’m used to watching slow movies but yesterday I watched ‘Out-Takes from the Life of a Happy Man‘ (2012) by Jonas Mekas, Who Is very well known in the film community for his groundbreaking editing and pioneering post modernist experimental film. beyond all of that I feel like a nice slow experimental movie once in a while is the greatest thing to do. The impact feels like literature and now I’ve really come to the idea that film is the literature of our century, so watching a slow movie even if it’s a short movie it can have a great impact, that kind of hit that you only feel with an art piece that resonated with you. Movies like this are poetic, spontaneous, they make you question why are you even taking the time to sit there and witness them, but the truth is that the real power of art in our generation resides in the willing and vulnerability of the viewer to feel welcomed inside a piece, once you accept it is you who have to give a meaning to this kind of film, then the messages and symbols inside of it turn to you completely.

The slower pace of this film makes you really *feel* just how empty, soulless, and joyless the world the characters occupy is. You really get the sense there’s nothing for them there, that they *belong* in the Pink Opaque, because despite there being challenges there, they are so much more alive there. And feeling how drawn out it all is sells the core message of the film - there is still time. It is never too late to go after the life you want.

🔮tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public
this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago
no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI
a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account
so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
