Boring film becomes fascinating with the right guide

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2006)

Don't watch this film for its entertainment value alone. This film will bore the Average Joe to tears. However, it is the one film that every film student must see. Once you know what you're watching for and why, this film becomes fascinating. There are more "film firsts" (innovations) in this one movie than possibly in any movie made since.
A few example of innovations include the first use of stage make up to age characters in the film and the first time a camera passes through an object.
Do yourself a favor. Either wait until you get a chance to take a film course or read up before renting this classic.
