The Big Lebowski

Do you think the language is offensive? The language isn’t offensive to me, but it might be to women and kids, I just find it funny because I’m obnoxious like that.

Do I think the rating, AA14, is appropriate? No I don’t think that rating is appropriate because kids that age don’t need to be exposed to this kind of stuff, I don’t even think I should be able to watch this. Like Jesus, he’s the most messed up person I’ve ever seen before, or the comment “I’m going to fuck you in the ass”, kids don’t need to hear that, and don’t forget about Walter telling Donny to “shut the fuck up”, it’s just terrible, but hilarious. Last but not least, The Dude’s everyday speech, “fuck” this and “fuck” that.

On the other hand it was a great movie but it definitely should be rated 18A. That’s what I think about “The Big Lebowski” using swear words and offensive language nonchalantly.

Citizen Kane

Is “Citizen Kane” really the best movie of all time? It could possibly be. I enjoyed it start to finish even though it is black and white. It definitely started something great, a whole bunch of camera shots no one had ever even heard of before. Orson Welles may be one of the greatest actors ever, everything came together beautifully. It’s not something I could watch over and over again because it’s so plain compared to movies today. Orson Welles didn’t have a million chances to do every scene, like when he smashed that whole room, he only had one chance to do it, now actors get as many times as they want to do it. Orson Welles did an awesome job on “Citizen Kane”, I don’t care what anyone says, it was a great movie. So Mr. Edwards, I’m glad to say that we watched a movie from 1941 which is way before my time, and even yours, but “Citizen Kane” may possibly be THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!
