Kubrick's Most Accessible film.

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2008)

This was an exciting and uplifting film about what a person of lower class can accomplish when they put their mind to it. This is just the kind of film that one just can sit back and admire and take it all in all the while still being entertained by how resilient the main characters are of their surroundings and the whole idea about if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. It doesn't even matter whether or not he's a good guy because, really, at the end of the day these sorts of elements would've detracted from this sort of story. For some reason, people find this film boring, although i found it to be constantly entertaining due to the whole narration bit and how the film doesn't just jump around but actually takes it's time to allow the viewer to analyze the whole thing. The music score is simply wonderful. If I could pick a favorite Kubrick film, which is difficult since almost all of them are so wonderful, this would definitely be one that could tie with whichever one i choose if i choose one other than this one. A perfect film that is easily Kubrick's most accessible.
