Overrated ?

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2010)

I downloaded a DVD version few days ago to watch this movie, to see what's all the fuss about. And i simply can't understand what was so great about it, where was "the moving" part everybody is talking about? I agree, good acting, some palpitating scenes, but everything moved so fast, one time you're watching the kids how they spent their childhood, the next minute there's his father defending a black man who was accused of raping a white woman, people of which wasn't anything mentioned in the first half of the movie. They just randomly jumped in and started making part of the film. I really cannot understand the reviews of this title, "a movie which will remain in history", "incredibile", what the hell was so incredible ? Please tell me, i feel stupid. OK, maybe this was a good movie at it's time, with good performances for that age, but its absolutely nothing spectacular compared to nowadays movies. I believe all of the good reviews were posted by old people, who watched this in their childhood and seemed spectacular now to re watch it, but definitely boring by today's standard's. This movie will eventually go down in the years coming, it certainly will. Except for the good acting, absolutely nothing did impress me, 6/10 for the sake of it.
