AFI recently named this the number one movie of all time. Naturally, as a young cinephile, I just had to check this out. I'm glad I did because it was a unique experience. I've seen a few movies from the forties, thirties and yes, even the twenties and 1910's. but so very few of them matched the intensity, characterization, and strong acting of this movie. Although it's a bit dated, I can't help but appreciate the script and how strong this film holds up overall. I can understand why a lot of people think that this movie revolutionized the film industry. This movie definitely reminded me of "The Aviator" and the more recent character biopics out there. It's worth checking out if you're up to watching a classic movie.
