[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Maybe I have the wrong impression, but it seems to me that, after an initial flurry of appreciation, this forum seems to have become rather negative towards the film, with the majority of recent posts being critical of it. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Just to be clear, I was not saying there that people should not be expressing their negative opinions about the film. Of course they should be, if that's how they feel. Indeed, I have expressed my own misgivings about it. But, from a personal point of view, I just find it hard to be too exacting in my criticism in light of the incredible impression that this film has made on me.<P>And in any event, the general tone of the forum seems now to have become more positive. Perhaps it is in the nature of these things that the overall feeling will sway one way and then the other.
