finished watching The Manchurian Candidate 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Wow, no idea why I'd put off watching this for so long. This movie absolutely hums with tension. There's elements that feel quite dated (Henry Silva playing a Korean?), but far fewer than I would have anticipated. I might have to check out the remake just to see what they changed.
