Ok, so I have been on this board for almost a year now and I have noticed that a lot of the members can write a review for a movie like it's their college thesis. It's quite amazing. Unfortunately I'm not that articulate. My idea of a movie review is:
"It was good, I liked it" or "I found it sort of boring and dind't really care for it". That's the extent of my reviews.
With that being said, this past weekend I watched "The Innocents" which I hear is considered a "classic thriller" by some people. My question is, why? Why is that movie, and other movies like it, so great?
Now, I'm not saying I didn't like the movie because I did. I found it interesting because it was sort of neat to see what was considered "scary" in 1961. But it's not a movie that totally "wow"ed me and I won't be talking about it for years to come.
So, what are your thoughts on this movie? I have no doubt that some of you will be more than happy to provide me with a 10 page composition with footnotes and such on what I'm missing. And what was up with the ending?
Ok, let all the big words fly...
