Your Favorite Movie Suck ( But it doesn't Matters)

This has been a long time since I wrote a blog. Everytime I say I will try to keep it more updated. I would guess maybe I don"t have nothing to say. Maybe if I got pay writing I would make sure I will keep updated. I have seen a lot of movies since the last time I wrote in this blog. I think I have a new favorite movie of all time. I will get back to that in a second.

       

          When someone normally asks me what is my favorite movie of all time. iI normally give out a stock answer depending who. If an average  movie watcher asks me, I would say "Lord of the Rings trilogy". Why do you ask? Mostly because it is an easy answer and those people know what it is and is fine when. When a cinepile ask me what is my favorite movie of all time, I would say "Citizen Kane". I know it is so cliche'. I have always thought it was a movie tht every person should see. It shows an American with a lot of ambition and how they change as they get more successful. Now I am going between two movies that is fighting for the top spot: John Huston's "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole". These movies show what men are willing to do to get or keep what they want. "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is about three men mining for gold and someone get greedy. The usual plot points that you see in these type of movie. This movie is the best that deal with all of those plot points"Ace in the Hole" was not well received when it was first released critically or commercially. Maybe it hit too close to home for a lot of people. The original title was "The Big Carnival".  It is about a cynical, disgraced reporter who stops at nothing to try to regain a job on a major newspaper. It is a biting examination of the seedy relationship between the press, the news it reports and the manner in which it is reported. It is still relevent in today society.

        When i say it was "Citizen Kane" as my favorite movie of all time, people would argued against my choice. Why get in an arguement about it? What is that going to solve? I will tell you what it will solve. Nothing. Movies speaks to the individual differently than the next person. If somebody sy their favorite movie is "Donnie Darko" for example, it didn't speak to me on any level. I think it is a terrible movie with some moments of good. It was just not the movie for me. It seems like there are people who want to be the one who is right. they normally think that everybody else is wrong with their choices. They are the same ones who hate things that everybody else loves. They think that they would be like everybody else if they like the same things. The truth is that you can like those same things for different reasons. Those people just want to feel superior. It is ridiculous if you asks me. When people are praising the movie, they just bash the movie. The reasoning on why the movie didn't work for them doesn't even make sense. I know this just turned into a rant. Sorry. Forgive me please.

The movie that you normally sticks with you are the ones that is important to you. My point is that no matter what your favorite movies are, it really just matters to yourself. Can we just let that person like that particular film. I don't see why we need to persuade that person to have a different opinion about that movie. We can have different opinions in this world. I know I love movies that a lot of people doesn't like. Maybe we should just keep it to ourselves for now on. Why do cinepiles make list for everything anyway? Maybe it is just to show people a list of things that we like.
