===Why not just accept that some people think it's a great movie and you don't? I mean, heck, I'm not losing any sleep over the fact that you don't share my opinion of that movie. Fine with me. It's probably just a matter of taste. ===

Exactly what I said myself in the end para of my last post, Little Hawk:-

"OK ~~ so some people thought it better, more effective, than I did; which is naturally fair enough ~~ of course tastes and reactions differ" 31 July 0613

If you are going to disagree with someone, wouldn't it be a good idea to read what they have written first?

My grounds for objection have sometime since ceased to be connected with the quality of the film itself, which, as we have both now said, is clearly a matter of taste; but I can't get my head round these claims that a film made in the late sixties was some sort of original trail-blazer, when it was in fact just a recycling of tired old themes and techniques which had gone on pretty well from the dawn of cinema. That's all.
