Something I don’t like confessing due to the disbelief and disgust I receive when I admit to it…but…
I’ve never seen a Star Wars movie. Ever. Not one.
Im 42, so I’m probably prime age to be a fan, but I just never came across them as a kid.
I have an older sister, so as a kid, I saw Anne of Greengables more times than any man should. But zero star wars.
When I was about 20, someone convinced me to hire out the first one, which he tried to explain was the fourth one or something, so I did. I just remember a heap of writing on the screen banging on about some long winded ■■■■■ I could not follow, so I switched it off.
Im a simpleton.
For the record, Ive never eaten a potato cake either. Both of these facts tend to get the same look of disgust and disbelief when I confess theses sins to people.
You are missing out on some great cinematography , plus the interaction between Alida Valli, Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles, plus a great Graham Greene script.
Plus Anton Karras’ zither music.
And never has a bouncing ball carried more suspense
And that line about what Austria delivered to European culture …
Carol Reed’s best film - as understated as Lawrence of Arabia is OTT.
