Unrealistic By Today's Standards

Half of the people on this board are talking about the film in terms of marketing. This was a tough sell in 1967 and I'm sure if it were released (or re-released) it would still be a tough sell. Let's give some directors the benefit of the doubt; I'm sure there are plenty of directors today who would not treat this screenplay like the next blockbuster.

But, UNREALISTIC? Not a chance OP. Human nature does not change. This movie is still as taut as they come. Maybe there would be a couple more cell phones nowadays, but it is still believable. Unrealistic? No. Maybe you were looking for the phrase 'outdated?' If so, I would still disagree with that.

I know who I am! I'm the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude!

And what you fail to understand is that I said, when I made this point several years ago, "The Incident" is unrealistic for today's stands for a movie, not real life.

Another thing you're missing is that when movies are made, they often reflect the times they are made in. When this movie was made in 1967, it was a wake-up call to the realities our country was living in- war, assassination, and racial strife. Not to mention, big cities by that time were understood not to be safe places. But I don't think this movie as it is would do so well today- I believe people today often want to escape their realities... i.e. superhero crimefighters or stories where even average citizens stand up to crime- for example Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in "Walking Tall;" though I don't think I would call him average.

I simply don't care what you or anyone else says here. I've made my point clearly many times. I stand by my point and you can't change my mind. Especially not with your disrespectful tone and comments.
