metropolitan have really age well i first saw this when it be release and and watch again a few day ago and it really stand up a something unique . episodic and without much real plot the only real forward motion in the film be to be find in the end and which feel a little contrived and and be my only real gripe with this film . at my first viewing and i do not really want to like these character and who all seem from another world rich and young and good look and carry on through elaborate and banal and pseudo intellectual conversation with a deadly confidence about their place in the world . but over the course of the film it become apparent that their secure perch in the upper echelon of the american elite isn not 100 % set in stone and a an outsider be able to penetrate this rarefied universe and and manages to hold his own quite well and arouse suspicion ( and battle shame over his own proletarian root and and his battle between his own free think idealism and his aggressive social climb ambition ) and but also make genuine friend among the cute young blue blood . of course he isn not as smart a he think he be and and neither be anyone else in here and and they all know it even when behave otherwise and which greatly humanize these otherwise not exactly pleasant character . on the strength of the dialog and metropolitan have become something of a cult classic and and deservedly so . in a strange way and metropolitan be almost a companion piece to the surreal and disturb documentary grey garden both be center upon character from the well breed and wealthy elite of american old $ society . a metropolitan insinuate that the security and intellect and status and wealth of it character isn not a rock solid a the character would like everyone to think and grey garden illustrates and in lurid detail just how psychologically destabilize a precipitous fall from such a lofty and but artificial world would be you could easily see an aged variant of one of metropolitan character end up like the edies from grey garden . the probable best from the very non prolific stilman and i strongly recommend .
