Four Favorites with David Jonsson
Transcript
I love Letterboxd. Love Letterboxd. I always panic at this point when I have alright. Fine. Let's go get it going. Meantime, Michael Lee, Malcolm X, like Lee. It transcends good acting, you no. It's it's those things that you kind of realize that, you know, art can really be influential. Art can really change people's lives. It can really depict moments of history that you realize still have more juice in to influence future, you no. So that was one of those moments I really remember and his performance, you know, is amazing. It's a great film. Love it. Super Bad. I watch a lot of films often, like, over and over again. I love movies, but I'm one of those people that's trying to take apart good things that I've seen. I wanna take apart and understand how it was done. Drive is one of those films.
