Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (15 May 2020)

This film was obviously ground-breaking in its time. However, it is not comparable to the quality of film-making today. I only sat through this film because it's a classic. I understand it touched on revolutionary themes at the time and I can appreciate that, but a lot less was needed for a film to qualify as "good" in the 80s than is needed now, and this film has made that evident to me. It includes several clichés that would be unacceptable to today's audiences. As well as this there a holes in the characters stories which allow for poor character development.
