one of the best movies most people will never see. Beautiful. Stunning. A visual treat. Almost too perfect. But it's not a Bourne Conspiracy or a CSI murder mystery. It's a period piece with unbelievable scenery and costumes and something most films don't have... a story. Even at over three hours in length, I have watched this movie numerous times and each time I see something more exquisite. This takes more than genius to create something of this magnitude. It takes a complete and true artist to be this lavish.. to have an eye for so much detail. I was never enthralled with Ryan O'Neal in the lead.. but Kubrick paints him so deeply in the story that his limited skills are not noticeable. Take time to enjoy this one. It really is a work of pure genius!
