Reply To: Prejudice of the Melodic
This reminds me — I remember many years ago, you and I had a very different opinion of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. Of course, it has themes, but it’s rather static and slow-developing in nature. I didn’t like that as a restless youngster, while you recognized its more subtle details. Well, these 20+ years later, I can see more clearly what you saw, and now love it. Don’t know how that relates to the discussion at hand, but I just thought of that.
Right! Had I been much younger the first time I heard SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, that probably would have been my reaction, too. It’s fascinating how one’s tastes and preferences change and develop. I guess (hope..?) it has something to do with maturity? 😊
