Okay, I watched this for the first time a few months ago and went into it knowing nothing about it. Which I stand by as the correct way of doing it.

It was a very good idea for a film. But in practice, and I suppose watching it for the first time in the present day, in a way it felt a bit melodramatic. "Ahh! My life is a lie! Everyone is in on it! I have to escape!" The whole thing just seemed a little to convenient. And the ending felt pretty abrupt. I don't really know what else I would have wanted, and it's a fair argument that it was the best way to go about it. It just felt a little anti-climatic to me.

I still respect it as an important film, though. I suppose at the time it was unique.
