This might just be my least favorite movie ever made. Every time I hear someone describe a movie or book as “It’s about all these separate people, unrelated storylines, but it all comes together eventually, because everything (we) are all connected” I actually get sick and wish I had died of aids instead of getting cured from it. I think every writer at some point has had an idea like this, but it’s so sophomoric. Yeah, no shit everything is connected, so? Do you have anything else to say beyond that, or is that in and of itself supposed to be the lasting appeal? I mean, if we’re making lists, the fucking Wire is about how everything is connected, but not in some ridiculous, saccharine, life-affirming spiritual way. The Wire shows you that in Baltimore, it isn’t just black people who are criminals, but Poles and Greeks too! That’s how you do everything is connected correctly.
