Yes and also he wanted to gut the parts of gov that were investigating him and / or could stop future deals he wanted to make and I think he was wildly successful

If you read far enough the bamboo turns back into metaphor.

I do not recommend reading far enough

“They are secret police and are kidnapping our ppl” yes okay and so we get rid of them yeah? They don’t get like an inter office transfer. If you believe they are this evil call for their abolition

And also the novel is superior. It’s clearly about (imo) kings massive anxiety about being a father while also being a drunk and how to reconcile that (kill the drunk). The film takes that element away, to its detriment (again imo)

Still great film!

I legit love him. Going to devour his book during winter break

I watched a doc on grant this year and now I will fist fight any mfer that’s says Lee>Grant to my face

And in honor of Grant I’ll do it drunk AF
