I understand why it’s considered a legendary film, though I doubt it’s truly unforgettable. It certainly ranks among the legendary movies of that era—like Titanic, Pulp Fiction, and so on—but the reality is simply that it was a good film for its time, and that’s that. The same thing happened with many movies in the 2000s—*Men in Black*, for instance—and it’s still happening today. It’s just a natural consequence of having made a good film during a specific period, and tha it from beginning to the end. Its a great movie. The script, the characters,
Have you actually watched it? Proper? The powerful scenes, unique storyline, character portrayals & intensified screen transitions set the tone for what we have today.
To me its in the Avenger: Endgame’s, category.
At it's time, there was no Netflix, Amazon, YouTube or Starlink. The internet viewership was still infant. Compared to all comical hits of our day, it had some great reality checks. Amazing.
For instance could still watch replays & still get thrilled.
Yes, I do understand your point, many movies were released that had similar success, but it's one of the greatest plots that graced the tv sets all over the world.
Ta, I still appreciate your Insight, though.
Peace,
