This film will endure

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2009)

Every time I see this I get something new out of it. Before a film can be judged as great or classic it has to endure the test of time. Will people still watch it 10 or 20 years later , or better yet 50 or 60 years later. MDB is very unique with a plot that goes one way, veers a little about a third through, and then about two thirds goes off in a totally unexpected direction with fabulous results. It reminds me of Psycho in that way. Very brave and extremely unique. I can't think of any other film that does this. I believe this film will rise in popularity whereas Gran Torino(which I also love) will decline. I would love to glance 50 years in the future and see where this film stands. I bet it would be among the all-time greats.
