My thoughts about the movie could be similar to other people’s opinions. The movie itself started out slow, I have noticed that with a lot of older movies like this one, it took a while for me to catch on to the point of the movie, or to figure out what it was about. Slowly the movie started picking up and it began to make more sense to me. There are a lot of characters that I had to write down on a piece of paper because it was almost impossible for me to memorize all of them.
First I would like to start off talking about the quality of the movie. Since it was released back in 1976 the film quality wasn’t near as clear as it is present day. I noticed the cameras that they were using in the movie are quite different than they are today. I began to think how much technology can change in such a short period of time.
I noticed the characters in this movie are older than the actors that are played in the movies today. I began to think that this movie was maybe produced for older people to watch. If someone watches a movie and the characters are the same age as them they enjoy the movie a lot better. I think that they also are able to follow the movie better because they understand how the characters act according to the situation. To me I think I would have enjoyed the movie a lot better if the characters were my age. I also think, from my perspective, if the character is good looking or attractive I pay attention to the movie a lot more and enjoy watching it more. Same with this movie, I think that an older person would enjoy this movie a lot more because the actors in this movie are older than normal movies of today. What caught my eye in this movie was the young woman actor that I thought was attractive. She was the only young actor in the movie which really made me confused on why they would do that. I noticed that I like the scenes that she was in better compared to the ones
