Serious inquiry.....what's the big deal?
I'm not trying to be disparaging by asking this, but what is the big deal about this film? I've always seen this on lists of "Greatest Movies Ever" and Roger Ebert included it in his 100 best films. I didn't hate the film, but I was far from being overwhelmed by it. I get it, Nicholson gave a very good performance and cinematography was very good. That aside, I didn't see that there was much substance to the film. Can someone point to something I'm missing about this film?
Appreciate it.
