Is there such a thing as the greatest film of all time? Well,let's see.In the world of ever changing fads and styles that is solely a bias opinion that is just as changeable as the films the industry makes. In the time of modern day ideas and technologies nothing is etched in stone to stay to one opinion. Things are changing and so to will the ideas of film. Films and all other fads,such as fashion, can all be changed or enhanced which we have clearly seen throughout the world and history. In 10 years time the Lord of the Rings may be considered a low cost film but good the that time. This is the new days of revolutions we are being exposed to new thoughts, new ideas, new ways of viewing all that is seen, heard or read, and most of the change can be credited to brilliant advances of technology.
But many people are going on a trend,what the media says is the film of all films than that must be the greatest of all. Yet we all have our own points of view that is capable of our own opinions yet we are so easily influenced by the dramatizations of the media. But just because the media says a film is the best of the best and be found the greatest film of all time can not clearly be so just because of one persons say so. Just because the media said and a certain producer put a lot of money and time into it does not make it the greatest film of all time. Well, go watch it for yourself, and if your not bias toward how is in it or who made it, see if your opinion does not change and the reason you went to see the film in the first place. In watching a film it's as simple as either you like it or you don't.
The real question is what makes a film thought to be the greatest of all time and what elements are there for this to be a convincing opinionated statement. Seemingly that the statement is one of the worlds biggest fads and is subject to change as is all things that are made from an idea.
I have seen it for myself the changes in the industry. Many new people, new thoughts and idea and a new way of doing things. The advancing of new technologies and how they do "movie magic." This is due to new skills and ideas emerging to build a better future. Look at television that "new technology" changed how many people seen or rather heard their favorite weekly program. There are many films that myself and many others have never heard of yet it is said to be the greatest of all time. How? Why? So, is there such a thing as the greatest film of all time, would you agree with me that the Care bears movie 1 is the greatest film only because I said it. No, you wouldn't just because I say in my opinion a movie is the greatest does not make it so.
