...Taylor takes a chainsaw to Jamie Foxx’s Hummer, as well as taking other things not mentionable in this publication. I mean, Opera’s been screaming for this stuff.) Plus that Al Pacino pre-game speech would make for a heck of an aria. Heavy subject matter, outrageous scenes, and extremely long? Wagner...

When Washington’s character boldly writes the word “Revolution” on the chalk board the first day of class, the theater screen feels especially opaque.
