there is a third option
i will be watching deep water tonight (not to be confused with deep impact which is a bruce willis movie where he and ben affleck drill for gold on mars). normally i would lob some predictable adjectives at you like profound and gripping and haunting. i’m not going to do that this time. i WILL tell you that it’s about a solo yacht race around the world, but i will also hint that it’s REALLY about so much more than that. this is a movie that will stay with you in the way that only the best book or movie or song can.
also: (if you can help it) don’t read up on the documentary (or the race that it documents) beforehand, there are some twisty turns that take place in it that are best experienced WITHOUT prior knowledge and the internet loves to spoil.
