The Butterfly Effect

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2014)

Here is a Masterpiece of Filmmaking that Could be used to Educate Young, Bias Moviegoers who won't go Near a Black and White or Anything Made before Their Birth Year. Because it is Simply One of the Greatest Movies Ever Made Defying the Passage of Time. it is as Powerful and Impressive Today as it was in 1930. A Truly Amazing, Pristinely Crafted Film, with an Eternal Resonating Message.
The Stunning Framing of Images with Wide and Intricate Placements of Pictures Within Pictures is Remarkable from the Very First Scene. Warfare in the Trenches and its Effect both Psychologically and Physically is Portrayed Realistically with a You Are There Believability as much as any War Movie to this Day.
There is Blood and Pain, Severed Limbs and Severe Agony, Rats and Lice, Horror and Meat Grinder Grittiness. A Definition of Classic is to "inspire imitation" and here it can be Evidenced by the Boot Camp Scenes (Full Metal Jacket 2005) and the Machine Gun Slaughter (The Wild Bunch 1969), just to Name a Couple.
It is Very Difficult to Find Anyone, be it Critic or Fan, that came Away from this Film with Anything but Admiration and Praise. Won the Oscar for Best Picture of the Year, but it is One of the Best Pictures of Any Year.
