I hate Death of a Salesman!
I hated the movie and I really hated the book. It was boring and pointless! The only cool thing was Ben leading Willy to death!
shareYou're 15, hormonal and probably studying this play in school. No wonder you don't like it! That's the problem with education systems all round the world, they try and encourage the students to "enjoy" classics by adding them to their curriculars, but instead make students hate the texts by setting boring, monotonous, over-analytical lessons, followed by obscure, open-ended exam questions. It's why so many dislike Shakespeare!
Give it a few years, become mature and I guarantee you will like this. It is a superb examination of the American Dream and a man's descent into suicidal depression.

My mom who is much much older then me didn't like the book.
shareFirst off: it is not a book. It is a play.
Secondly, your mother gave birth to someone who refers to themselves on the internet as "Jedimaster". That explains a lot.
Besides if your mother is older than you she has the wisdom and experience to properly make a distinction about what drama she likes and dislikes. You are 15, you are not old enough to make that distinction.

I AM old enough to have an opinion.
shareYou're old enough to have your own opinion. You aren't old enough to back it up with any evidence, personal or otherwise.

The evidence is I thought it was boring!
shareThat's not evidence. That's an opinion. Back it up.

This post is my opinion!
shareWell don't post it as fact!

PhantomPhan,
I realize I'm a little late in getting to this discussion, but you're a self-righteous jerk. I'm no kid (in my 30s), and I can tell you that age is not always an indicator of wisdom. A 15-year old can certainly have a very valid opinion and be able to back it up. What kind of a person discounts what someone says just based on his age? Talk about narrow-minded. And you make fun of his username when you're donning the very childish moniker of phantomphan. Kids can always fall back on their age when they act immaturely. What's your excuse?
you and your mother arent stupid
just ignorant
I back it up with the fact that when watching this at school, over half of the class fell asleep from sheer boredom and repetitiveness. I back it up with the fact that Dustin Hoffman speaks unintelligably in this film, and that makes it impossible to understand if you don't have the script available. I think that not speaking so that it is possible to understand what they are saying makes it a bad film.
And I object to the insinuation that age has anything to do with ability to back up an argument. As a wise man once said: "Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young."
PS I am not trying to say that you are an old man.

Really? It is both a book and a play. Do you know what a book is?

this coming from someone who calls himself PhantomPhan222!
but yeah, its a good play allright.
Well, a lot of times I'm doing it from work - Cosmo/Prabhakar Anand comes clean share
