I dont get how Mad Max doesnt have a plot.
Napolean Dynamite is a better example of a movie without a real plot.

I think some people mistake lack of exposition for lack of plot. Mad Max was heavy on visual storytelling, which a lot of people don't get.
Idk if its that. I think its the lack of plot twist. MM is a very linear plot, but its still a plot.

Was the length of the movie necessary to the plot?
Mad Max?
I don't know what that means tbh. I'm not someone who is bothered by long movies, especially ones that are so well shot and have good cinematography.
If you are talking about Blade Runner, if you are someone who is bothered by long movies, then you will probably get annoyed at it.
Wind River
Pretty good. If there is 1 criticism it's that it was probably a bit too short. Should have made it about 20min. longer. BTW the scene Wes mentioned near the end wasn't actually all that bad - don't avoid it just because of it.
Interesting tidbit, it was filmed in Utah.

Man, I'm pretty bummed The Snowman has gotten **** on by critics so far. I really like that book series.

It's just something that I really have a tough time watching. Same in Leaving Las Vegas. I never said to not see the movie because of it.

The previews had me really excited to see it. The reviews might make me pass
Oh, and I finally saw it. It was OK.
I dont get OL's complaint about it at all. If I hadnt read the book I would probably have liked it more.

Yeah when you said it was one of the hardest scene to watch I was thinking along the line of 'Irreversible' or 'Last tango...'. Those for me were hard to watch, Wind River really paled in comparison.
Thinking about this a bit more. The story in this movie really was a beautiful metaphor for how the American Indians are treated in this country. The way that Indian girl was made to run through that icy/snowy field mirrored the way the indigenous people not just in the States but all around the world are 'pushed aside' at times to the margins and are forgotten.
It really made me think a lot about those things and some of the images did stick with me. It's a real pity it was a 30 minutes too short, many of the themes could have been explored a lot more. It really had a great set up and is still worth a watch irregardless.

That's fair. I don't know the latter but I've heard Irreversible's scene is pretty brutal. I want to see the film but it's not on Netflix anymore.
The latter is Last Tango in Paris ...

The trailer I saw for it cracked me up. It had a line like "by the time you find the body I will have made another snowman" or something. I think the unintentional comedy will be high with this movie.

And the snowmen they show look dumb. Like CGI or something. Stupid. The book was really solid. It "covered" an interesting topic, though not in any meaningfully intelligent way really, and I'm the sure the movie does even less with it.
Manchester by the Sea
Slow burn, but cuts pretty deep. It literally is kinda like the sea, nothing much to see on the surface but it's very 'deep'.
