Here's a preview of the new one. This came out in 92 late 92 and I would have seen it on like,

0:10.4

I actually saw it on pay-per-view in early 93 or like mid 93 whenever it was released. So I would

0:16.0

have been like 13 or so when I saw this movie. And I feel like it's, you know, it made a big

0:23.4

impression on me because of the time in which I saw it because it was kind of the first like

0:28.2

Oscar-bady movie that like I kind of saw and understood on, you know, a first viewing.

0:33.6

You know, like it's, it just hits you at that like moment in life, I think. And so I have a,
