The Greatest Movie Ever - Or One Of The Worst?

Rating: 7/10 (18 February 2008)

I remember when I was a kid and I really started to get interested in movies. Fifteen years ago I wanted to see as much film as I possibly could, and I still watch 1-4 movies a day. To watch a movie is for me to disconnect everything that's on your mind and walk into another world.
My favorite film was The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. (It still is top 5 for me.) Since I was so young, I had problems watching Black&White movies. I didn't like dramas, thought they were boring. I asked my dad; "Which movie is the greatest ever?" He responded; "Citizen Kane is considered to be the best." We watched it the same evening. I think i fell asleep for a while. It was Black&White, it was boring. It didn't seem to go anywhere. I never got the point of it. OK so it was a sled, big deal? Now fifteen years later I have grown a bit. I love Black&White movies and have no problems watching dramas. Yet when I try to watch Citizen Kane I realize that it doesn't matter how much I have grown. I simply can not understand why people like it.
I can not describe my feelings for this film, but I can try... I would rather watch paint drying on a wall than watch this movie. It makes me nauseous.
My recommendation to you is to pass on this movie, unless you want to go to sleep or need to vomit. Watch "Pulp Fiction" or "One Flew over The Cuckoo's Nest" instead. You will thank me.
