“You’re not breathing” is a precursor to “Ocean waves,” and they mean the same thing: Fight, but take care of yourself, because the struggle is long, and if you let it destroy you, they win.
PTA shut down production and ballooned the budget on this movie so he could cast Benicio del Toro, and the very first shot of him instantly proves it was worth it
