Brilliant? I don't know. Profound? Gimme a break!

The first time I saw this movie, I was 14. Didn't make much sense to me, so I gave it no thought. I grew up some more, came across all the HYPE that it's supposedly the "GREATEST" movie, and all that.
So TODAY I'm 20 years old and I decided to see the movie to judge for myself. It was nice while it lasted, but frankly I don't see what all the fuss is about. Maybe it's one of those HOAXES where some 5 big names say it's the greatest movie in the world and suddenly everyone is heard saying that. See parallel: "The Emperor's new clothes".
It is NOT the greatest movie of all time, and it does NOT deserve to be in the top 100 list. But it's there- obviously the HOAX has worked. Everybody and their preferences so if you like it, good for you!

I'm not going to file this away as bad though. I'm gonna wait till I'm 30 and if I'm still ALIVE by then I'll give it another try- maybe I'll see the what most others see.
I tried really hard, I really did. I just hope that 10 yrs from now as I give it another chance, it wouldn't be a waste of 2 hours.
