DID I MISS SOMETHING ?

Rating: 1/10 (15 January 1999)

When I saw this movie in the top the list, I can't but question: did I miss something ?
I can't understand how a movie like this, featuring the moral decadence of a society is considered a "classic".
A boy who just finished college is having an affair with the wife of his dad's partner, doing anything else for months, instead of trying to achieve a goal in his life.
Then "falls in love" with the daugther of that woman ( can you tell me how they could fall in love after what happened in the cabaret? Did Elaine have a brain ? Loving him after she knew he slept with her own mother ? Going to the altar with a man she doesn't love ?
Is all this representative of something ? Yes, it represents the moral decay of a society.
I think that the only valuable thing of this movie is the beautiful music and Hoffman's great acting.
The rest is so naugthy !!
