ha, I actually posted almost the same shot when I originally watched the film

Coincidentally that’s around the same time I had watched it. Didn’t check the sub before posting my comment as I was just glad that someone loves that film the same way I do and wanted to share my appreciation through a cineshot! Hope to see more cineshots from you, cheers!
