I really fail to see the attraction of this idiotic movie and the book it's based on. submitted by Tassos on April 30, 2023, 1:41pm Can somebody explain to me what the hell is the big deal about this STUPID movie? Or about the pathetic book on which it is based? WHy is that stupid book supposed to be such a big deal?
