That film was incredible.

I’m still a bit confused by the end? It’s a great movie but I just never got that part I guess

The ending is a bit strange. I always took the ending to be more symbolic and not literal.

I think it was the kid disassociating before she got taken away by CPS

Me neither. Such a good film, Willem Dafoe is brilliant in it. I was sure it was going to do well at the Oscars that year but it fell by the wayside.

Dafoe was great as always, but the little girl absolutely stole the show

That was a really tough year at the Oscars. Unfortunately there was just a ton of really good competition

That’s one of my favorite movies of all time. I grew up in shitty apartments in Orlando and that movie hits home in the most kind and honest way. It truly is a cinematic gem.

It's a really well made film. It's so earnest that it almost feels like a documentary at times.

It feels like a documentary of what I saw around me as a kid.

Personal top 5 film and probably the best child actor performance of all time.

Kramer vs Kramer is the best child actor performance for me

yeah lol it makes perfect sense now

TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes.
