What stood out on a rewatch is how much this film works because Harrison Ford has always been a bit of a dick, and this movie plays to that.
A sweeping epic. It's the longest I've sat in one theater to watch a single piece (though it was originally released as a four-part series on Italian TV), and after six hours, I couldn't leave the theater for ten minutes, I had to come down off an emotional ledge.
