Slaughterhouse Five is a lot sadder when you reread it and realize Billy Pilgrim is just Kurt Vonnegut in a coat. What I mean by this of course is that in the very first chapter, the introduction really, you notice things. Most of Billy's stories are just Vonnegut's reworded tales, most of the things Billy feels are just Vonnegut's thoughts. It's why Slaughterhouse Five is so good, it is tales of war from someone who went to war about someone who went to war. There is no glamorization, war isn't romanticized. It's ugly and true.

And what do the birds say? All there is to say about a massacre, things like “Poo-tee-weet?”

Man I just love long form song takes in movies/television. Like the entirety of Shine On You Crazy Diamond (parts I-V) during the climactic scene of season 2 of Russian Doll. The entirety of Albinoni’s Adagio at the opening and closure of ACS Versace. The entirety of a Bach harpsichord concerto during the March to Dresden in Slaughterhouse Five.
you agree
