It should’ve buried the genre entirely imho.

The fact that dipshit won an academy award for editing just kills me inside a little more every time I think about it.
Yeah, that one really makes fuck all sense.
There’s a great video on YT that goes into all the terrible edits in this movie, and they cover literally almost the entire runtime of the film.
I can only assume the academy was either bribed or blackmailed to come to this decision.
