Understanding History

Maybe it is dated, but one must base an opinion one when it was created.

This movie, done in 1981 was created prior, I think to the birth of most of those who have dismissed it.

But, it was representative of it's time and art. Those "Matrix" souls should be alittle more respective of when and how a movie is created.

Personally, I enjoyed it. Because of the most selfish of reasons. I was young, 19. The music, the magazine was of my time.

Remember History and pass judgment with perspective.

Great Music, great movie.

Gentlemen, there was a time before CGI.
