I love this movie. Way ahead of its time.

One thing that upsets me is that critics were horrified with this film and with their negativity and backlash, they destroyed director Michael Powell's career. NOW they hail it as a masterpiece? Just goes to prove that critics are nothing more than cynical pretentious hypocrites who have no understanding of film whatsoever.

@nmoravec1 Whatever those critics say about a film has no real worth. The best critic is the viewer not some grouchy critic on TV.

Long paragraph short Critics are just Super DOUCHEBAGS

The main character standing up at 3:56 and then sitting down at 4:28 is a censorship friendly way to tell that he was masturbating.

@themightycelestial (continued). I suggest you don't rely on so-called "best films" lists. That's like searching for the truths of history from (only) the victors who write about it. Give yourself room for a wider, more diverse spectrum of perspectives on cinema. Your viewing habits and pleasures will thank you.

@themightycelestial Good but easy movies are easy to get right. It's the truly brilliant and risk-subversive movies that most people get VERY wrong. Even great films, which are largely praised upon original release, are praised for the wrong reasons, praised blindly or simplistically, or the most ingenious elements of which are grossly overlooked or misunderstood. Alas, that is the fate of many of the most challenging works of art -- maligned by all but those who see & feel it from the margins.

@nmoravec1 It's always amusing when critics & viewers later hop on the bandwagon, in praise of a work/artist, once it's become 'fashionable' to do so. Pathetically, even at that late date, most Johnny-come-lately hypocrites can't genuinely articulate the distinct merits of a brilliant work. Their motive isn't based in sincere praise, but in fear of being out of step with the crowd. Vindication by one's peers is elusive. But, among the gods, art is embraced. For there is from where art comes!

[ishmyl99]

@nmoravec1 There are critics good & bad. Unfortunately, the good are far, far outnumbered by the mediocre-to-bad. And, you're right, that can be upsetting, even maddening. But, take heart, art doesn't listen to the din of small & timid minds, which glory in the confines of the herd. Whereas all true artists take risks, as did Powell. He was a maverick. He followed his inner masters, or the muses that beckoned him. He pushed the boundaries because he saw none. He created art! How many critics do?
