A Perfect Film

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2019)

I love this movie; it has one of the most interesting characters in epic stories, and what's even better is its based on a real person. I know it's a clichÃ©, the cinephile lamenting that they don't make movies the way they used to, but you know what? They don't. This is a jewel from the golden age of Hollywood, back when the words 'epic film' meant more than just the size of the explosions they showed you (looking at you Marvel and DC). It really spoke to the scope of the characters, the sets, the story itself, and the amount of work that went into creating an artistic vision this brilliant.
This is one movie that I think everyone should see. It's more than fifty years old, but it still has more impact than ninety-nine percent of the epic films that come out today. Yes, it's long; yes, it takes patience. So what? Wait for a rainy Saturday, a frigid snowy Sunday, and make a day out of watching this movie. I promise you wont regret it.
