Yes, and I can accept that it was original, just not that this means it was brilliant. Being first is noteworthy but it isn't necessarily best.

Essentially, I guess I disagree with:

It still, that is, has the power to defy conventional expectations about what a movie should be while providing an utterly captivating moviegoing experience.
It was a fine movie, completely watchable and entertaining. I've found the discussion of its cultural significance quite compelling and I don't disagree with any of that. I just didn't find it, when taken completely on its own as a movie, an exceptional thing.

It may have been original, but for me it no longer feels original.
