It did make a great difference seeing it as it was meant to be seen. We tried to get there as early as we could & still

I'd say yes. It's not like it's a particularly hard movie to get. Since it has influenced so much, it works and feels very similarly to recent movies.
They won't be able to really assess its influence and innovation, but those things shouldn't be factors when it comes to how good a movie is. -

Oddly enough I did not think it was thaaat dated, but the incoherent portrayal of a male powerful narc left so much to be desired, she let the blonde go away too easily, almost as if he loved her, the most incoherent character I have seen, it seem like Orson Welles was playing the part of a woman.
There are examples of films that are dated and I find to be great, directors like Yasujiro Ozu, movies like
J'accuse!, M, it happened one night, among many many others. This film on the other hand lacked knowledge about the characters it was trying to portray, it tried too hard and fell flat, the film is offensive because it sucks. If you are gonna talk about something, it should be something you know about, and I dont mean that for you but to Welles, he made a pretty movie sure, but it sucks. -

I'm not by any means a critic, or an art-house snob, but it seems to me that most movie goers simply aren't equipped with the proper tools to evaluate movies like this.
It's yet more evidence of the decline of civilization. Art from the past is far superior to art from the present. People today need to be spoon-fed. When a movie pays its audience some respect, and challenges it, if it's not panned by critics first, it's mocked by the idiotic public.
Check my block list because you're probably on it. -

Yes… Personally, I never noticed/cared about any technical ****.
