That’s right, George Lucas’ first feature film, an expansion of an experiment short from his film school days, has never before graced my eyes. That’s okay; it’s with a seasoned bearing that I can look at the output of the 24-year-old Lucas and harrumph at all the thinly-veiled adolescence present in THX 1138 (1970).

I guess I have to add this to my own personal list of shame, then, since I’ve not seen it either.
I wonder if I should try to see it before reading the review? Because honestly, I barely know anything about this particular movie. I know your reviews tend not to spoil things, but will I lose out on something if I know as much as the review reveals?

Nothing too spoileriffic (and it isn’t one of those movies that can be spoiled much, since the story isn’t really the raison d’etre), but naturally your subsequent viewing the movie will be colored by the analysis which I make. So… I dunno. Choose your own destiny. 🙂
