I'm an hour and a half in, and why should I care?

I'm watching this on a channel called "Movies", where, with commercials, the running time is 4 hours and 10 minutes. I'm 1 and a half hours into this, and I just don't really care about these people, their free love, their cause, their "famous" friends, or anything about this whole set-up.

I saw this movie when it originally came out when I was about 16 or 17, and I don't think I got it then because I was too young.

Although I'm still a pinko commie red, I don't think I get it now maybe because this isn't all that good of a movie.

Can someone give me some encouragement to watch more of this dreck? I kinda want to like it, but I'm just not into it.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

My same reaction. I wanted to see more of the Revolution, and less of its vainity-ridden stars and their turgid romance.

One of those films I wanted to like, but it's too drawn out. A great cure for insomnia.

I'm almost through watching it. By intermission I was done. I stopped paying attention a couple hours ago. I have a history degree and generally enjoy historical stuff like this, but there's too much blah blah blah and I don't care about these people either. Sorry I can't help you!

The people you idolize wouldn't like you.
