The Classics We Hold
25 January 2007
I know, I know...everybody's a critic. But if everyone else can add their 2 cents, here's my three...I find it ridiculous that we hold these movies as such classics, that aren't really as brilliant as we claim. Don't get me wrong, I actually loved the movie as a story, it was a real slice of life and as I writer...to keep an audience tuned in for the entire movie without actually having a "story" other than a kid being a hard head...you have done your job well as a film maker...but I give it a 2 because it is held at such high regard, then you go and see it and it's just another movie that could easily be forgotten about in a couple of years, if people didn't boast about how great it was. I think we need to reconsider "What a classic really is." And stop falling in with the crowd because it's enjoyed by the masses and a good print is still available to be restored.

Thank You
