I recall a thirsty female reviewer of this movie saying Brad Pitt (an unknown at the time) possessed “a smile that could put feminism back 30 years.” :D
I remember watching it for the first time, as an adult having heard and read about it for years, and the thing that struck me was just how _commercial_ it was (in a good way). It isn't a moody period piece that you have to work your way into -- the story and emotional beats are big, broad, and absolutely effective.
