borg vs mcenroe
I thought as a film it was pretty amazing
I'm not sure whether it
REALLY
captured
THEM
I don't really
REMEMBER what they were like
from any sort of personal
MEMORY
I remember having an awareness of them
more mcenroe
I had much MORE awareness of
billie jean king
and then later martina
I've never really understood tennis
I've TRIED I'm not sure what the problem is
when I'm watching a game
I can get a lot of what's
HAPPENING
from the
ENERGY
but I just can't seem to make my brain
absorb whatever it is
BUT
I WANT to understand it
OR maybe I don't really
BUT
I think I do
and anyway I wanted to understand mcenroe
what I remember of him as a kid
I don't think the angry thing
I think all that kind of
HOW TRANSGRESSIVE
that WAS
I think that was LOST on ME
I think I thought everybody thought he was
KINDA excitingly dramatic
I REALLY liked the pacing of the film
& the way the different worlds
we're realized
the scene where borg is at
STUDIO 54
& everything in the world is going on
BUT
SOMEHOW
he is completely not part of any of it
but almost in a psychedelic way
or something
I MEAN
I resonated with THAT
BUT
I feel like maybe I didn't get
an equally strong
MOMENT with
mcenroe
I wanted the wall writing to be that
BUT
it wasn't quite
& I have a hard time
imagining
that you haven't seen it
I enjoyed it
BUT
not as much as I could potentially have
if I just had a better understanding
although sometimes
that can go the other way
