Discussion Just Watched "The Long Walk" - Wow
I feel completely surprised by the fact I never heard more about this. I somehow also understand why I didn't as well. It is brutal, and real, and everyone in this feels like someone that should have a chance in the world.
This is a devastatingly beautiful and scary film. Every single actor in this movie was perfect. The people you hate initially you almost can't hate at the end because of what this world has done to them.
What a terrifying world that we don't get to actually know about and it makes everything that you wonder about it so much more scary.
Man I am devastated but this was a beautiful movie to cry to!
The character 'Peter' in this movie I thought seemed so familiar and he actually plays the android in "Alien: Romulus" which is such an entirely differently placed character it just shows his unreal range. After that, I learned from a friend that same actor is actually going to be the next Black Panther and my god what a fantastic choice for Marvel. He has unreal range and I cannot wait to see what he does!
Gotta also mention the incredible job by actor Joshua Odjick as "Collie" and him being able to represent some native pride.
edit: i gotta also apologize for not responding to everyone that has responded, I super appreciate reading it at this hour and I look forward to reading more with breakfast. I really am so happy to see it resonated with so many. That ending was just beautiful. The freedom he always wanted. GD I am goingto cry again but it is a good cry hahha!

That’s the same reason I joined the military. I was fat and I wanted to die
Didn’t work but I’m not fat anymore
