The clock is still ticking on this classic.
I rather like to think of people who thought it was horrible as having fish food for brains, but rather than label and resort to name-calling, I have to submit that I thought the movie showed some incredible ingenuity and unapologetic guts, as well as phenomenal talent.
Fiction and non-fiction were interwoven to such a fine twist that not even jealous people who wish they were in or wish they had made the movie themselves can spoil it. It's going to be a VERY long time before anyone whips this one for imagination or "how to tell a lie and get away with it".
As many times as this story has been told, no one has ever quite told it with that kind of depth and breadth and scope and magnificence of clarity of vision and focus.
