I agree, although I'll quibble with the semantics. :) I think all films get dated, by the SFX or the prevailing attitudes of the time that show up in the storytelling - but a great story is still a great story, and great films stand the test of time. It's not that they don't have aspects that are dated - it's that they still make an impact on the viewer.

I adore Metropolis, in spite of the over-exaggerated acting that's common to silent films, and including the fight up on the rooftops.

In a slight aside, it's interesting to me that 2001 A Space Odyssey feels much less dated than the sequel 2010, which had much better effects. In spite of the obviously out-of-date computer technology in 2001, the film itself still feels like the future.

However, in terms of Star Wars, yes, I do think most of the claims of "it's dated" are due to the special effects, which is a particularly shallow complaint.

I'll acknowledge that elements of film can be dated compared to today's films, but it's an art form that evolves based on prior work. It's like saying Picasso is dated compared to Basquiat.

Like...I have zero respect for people who say they can't watch black and white films because they're black and white. This is an attitude I have actually encountered.

Yes, I agree with you. I just kind of wanted to talk about it, so I go on and on. Sometimes I do that - sorry!

And yes, I get exasperated with people who won't watch black and white films; they are missing so many brilliant films! Their loss.

It's totally cool! Enjoying the conversation! :D

I mean, sure, Star Wars isn't for everyone, but I reject their reason. Heh.
