Logan LynnGuestIt's a very heavy lifting film, and there's, it has dark moments that are funny, but-
... what was really interesting about the film was I wasn't sure that I liked it, but I can totally replay it in my head.
And the more I read about it and the more I thought about it, I really think it's a, kind of an amazing film.
The film starts with narration, and Willem Dafoe does the narrator in it, and I guess he was just asked, like, a week before to just come in and read this stuff.
It, it starts out, it says, "Celeste is born in 1986 on the losing side of Reaganomics.
Many years before Celeste rolled off the cultural tongues, she might not have been described as all that special or conspicuously talented.
However, she did possess that proverbial something which on occasion captured the attention of all the other teachers and young peers.
A very savvy business woman in the beginning, she was kind and full of grace, and at least she wrote her own lyrics.
She would be 13 going on 14 years old in the year 2000." And that is kind of the start, and then it goes backwards to the prelude of 1999.
So you're, you're kind of like, "Oh, this is gonna be a traditional tropey music film."
The reason she's a success or on anyone's radar is she's in a school shooting.
