I long for the day it's only historically relevant, though clearly it couldn't be more current. I think the first time I saw it was back when Criterion first released it on DVD and it's a film that has stuck in my head ever since. It feels very different watching it now, more painful, more insightful, but that's not because the film has changed, it's because I've learned a lot. If you take a look at reviews at the lower end of the score pile you'll find a lot of people who hate this film because it's confused, that its message isn't clear, a lot of people who can't figure out what the right thing is and who was meant to be doing it. That totally blows my mind because I see the complexity and ambiguity is the whole point, and the fact that the answers might require some effort that people can't be bothered to make feels like a big part of why 30 years later it still mirrors what's happening on the streets. It's meant to make you think, and it's meant to make you feel, and I think it does both magnificently. A masterpiece.
