Great Post!
I'm 35. Not much time here at work to elaborate about how I feel about the film. Like most of us we saw the film at an early age. It was truly something special for the childish mind, and is the same for an adult mind. There is just something about it that I cant place a finger on. Maybe it’s partly due to the fact it starts out black and white and ends in color. The film also seems to stir up every human emotion. All I can say after watching it over the years is that it is truly strange. First it takes me back to my childhood, and it also takes me back to the time it was made in its childhood. Both in one and it doesn’t seem to age. I seem to be the one aging, while the movie seems to be more futuristic. Filmed on some other planet. Pieces of now, filmed then, and part of the future. Like some kind of dream for the viewer. The battle of good and evil in me played out in a movie. See? It’s for me a strange movie. Like eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That’s just one part of it. The film seems to be alive, and creeps into the smallest cracks of my being.
Like no other film. Have to go now. Thank you and have a nice wekend.
Regards,
