#Iwatched #SlingBlade (1996) with #BillyBobThornton. It's a good movie about a retarded man with a golden heart, but doesn't quite live up to its accolades. Thornton's performance while initially impressive stays rather one-note, hrm. It is an idealized, undemanding depiction of a man who sits like Buddha on a couch while violence erupts around him. He has no anxieties or obsessions. Actually he's more in control of himself than anyone else. A calm giant up to the foreseeable ending.

I think the best thing about #PeakyBlinders is it convinced a whole generation to unironically walk around with #SlingBlade haircuts.
