A great film for many reasons

Rating: 9/10 (30 September 2005)

When it comes to film, everyone should know about this one, as it is often hailed as 'the greatest movie of all time'. Although this is definitely an exaggeration, it is still a great film with a variety of elements contributing to it's whole.
From a technical perspective it is outstanding. The use of focus and the blitzing displays of multiple images are a true testament to the cinematographer, and was something you would rarely see in those times.
It really helps as well that a fantastic script is used here to show an interesting take on the great American dream, and the acting is also top class. The only real issues with this film is perhaps that it is bit too obvious in it's messages, but this is negligible considering how impressive the film is overall. Definitely a must see.
