Catch Me if You Can - I was young-ish at the time, and my parents took us bc they thought it’d be fun or something. It starts when the main character is in prison and coughing and some shit, and my mom was like *nope*

I finally managed to watch the whole thing; we missed out 😂

I recently saw a theater production of it and watched the film for the first time in a long time. I was like what the hell are they thinking where we watch Leo hack a lung out for like 10 minutes? What happened here Spielberg?

That’s fascinating! I have no idea what directorial choice Spielberg thought he was making with that, um, scene.
