I find that with many movies, places, people, and foods.
Agreed...sometimes not, and I always enjoy it when the appreciation of something does not dim with age or cultural changes.
With “Reservoir Dogs” I found the whole opening breakfast scene somewhat pretentious and artificial, and I didn’t recall that from the first time I saw it.
I compare it unfavorably with the first half of the movie “The Deer Hunter” (which I have found many people dislike, preferring the second half of the movie) but...I actually like the first half of the movie before they go to war, and I dislike the second half, after they go to war.
I appreciate the character development in that first half of Deer Hunter which is consistent through the rest of the movie, and in any case, I found it to be a somewhat accurate portrayal of a dying Pennsylvania steel town back in the late Sixties or early Seventies. There was something grimy and gritty that I appreciated having lived through those times, and I loved the wedding scenes. But I get why others might not like it.
Anyway, in Reservoir Dogs, that breakfast scene in the opening didn’t fit to me.
