I actually enjoyed this

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2008)

Rated G(contains some language and violence, would probably be PG today)
I usually find myself not liking older films.I haven't seen many of them but movies that are considered "classics" that are fairly old, I find myself not enjoying.I watched Casablanca a few months ago and I found it boring and did not enjoy it.Rashomon, a Japanese film from 1950 was just mediocre in my opinion.This is an almost four hour long film from the late 1930's.I started watching it because I heard it was a "classic" but I was prepared not to enjoy it.I found myself liking this film.Yes it is boring at times and it maybe a bit overrated but I actually thought it was a pretty good movie.It didn't even feel like a four hour long movie.The acting and storyline are great.There is some humor and is also pretty depressing.I can see why people would not like this film.Its very long and has plenty of dialogue.Im surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did.
