How can you NOT rate this as a 10?


Did you not rate this as 10? Why?

"The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."

Because it's anti-capitalism and turns people against a system that has brought prosperity to the world.

The inserted message is what keeps me away from films like this, when the film feels so self conscious that it tries to give some message, any message, that is not what I love about films, when some message is found by me just randomly, that can differ from the message someone else finds, then it trusts the intelligence of an audience, it means the film does not give any clear answers, any social statements that are not at least a little bit ambigious and open to various interpretations. One could say this film is a propaganda in that purest sense, and I would understand them.

I didn't think it was that good. I saw it a long time ago and don't remember much. 6/10

8/10. Why? Because it's just a good film to me, but not a perfect film that I would watch it on every Christmas.
