-I have a feeling this is a movie that, if I watched it a couple more times, would really grow on me. At times I thought it moved too slow and was a bit too mysterious about everything. I felt like I learned more about the plot and setting through context clues than I did by actually watching and listening to what was being presented. I could only take so much of people talking in numbers before it started to lose its appeal.

This is the one that put Lucas on the map. It's not for everyone, but that was the mind of George Lucas while studying film at USC. It wasn't yet Star Wars, but he was getting there. I saw James Cameron talking about the movie, and he mentioned that one of his favorite parts was how the system stopped chasing Duvall because "it was costing too much and the chase was going over budget". Cameron said that was Lucas' not-so-subtle jab at studio heads, that like to shut down entire productions because they go a little over budget. That frustration has been a hallmark of Lucas ever since.
