And the old actor/director looks over, "What are you new?"
Oh, right, in a relative sense you are.
Imagine being 12, Star Wars and Jaws were only 2 years previous, seeing that there's this new film about dance, jazz, theatre... not even knowing that you'd be a theatre major one day. Not knowing who Fosse was and not really caring. Oh yeah, and it's rated R so you have to talk your dad, a lecturer and teacher at catholic Sunday school, into taking you to see it. (To be fair, my dad is pretty damn wise and I think taking me to see "art films" was a relief to him. Hang the ratings system, this is why you go with your kids so they can ask questions later on.)
Changed my frickin' life, man. (And I've seen it a bunch of times, although not in whole for a while now, and never while drunk.)
And I'm kinda sorry it took you this long to get around to seeing it.
Oh, and for more edumacation, put Fellini Satyricon and La Strada on your Netflix list.
