This movie would not have been received the same way if the guy was the 32 year old and the girl was the 19 year old. Sometimes you have to flip these things around to realize how many consent issues there were in the first half of this film. The way this character tried to force herself on a 19 year old kid and straight up manipulate him into having sex with her made me extremely uncomfortable. Imagine if she was a guy; we would have burned the creators alive.
I just wasn't able to get past that and enjoy the rest of the movie. I'm just glad they didn't end up together romantically.
The movie is nice! The actors are clearly good and talented. Their performances were great. However, the pacing felt a little bit slow then it speeds up for a moment then it slows again, it was not stable or moving steadily throughout the whole film.
The idea of this plot is nice, however some decisions that the characters took were not making much sense. It still is a good movie to watch, if you ask me. It still deserves a 6 from me. It was fair, it just could have been better, is all I'm saying. After all, this is just my very humble, and nonexperienced opinion. :)
When I was a child, I saw this on TV. This is nostalgic for me. I love it, a lot.
Definitely a classic. Worth watching for historical value, but not much else. Doesn't hold up very well.
