The Importance of Being E(a)rnest.

The Importance of Being Earnest is a movie I'm rather pleased I got to watch. Although it's a comedy, it's a very different sort of comedy than something like The Hangover or Family Guy. Despite these all being in the comedy category of films, it takes a much more brain activity to understand the humor in The Importance of Being Earnest. Popular culture has caused some change in the type of successful humor. Today, it tends to be very silly and straightforward. That's not to say that subtle jokes and innuendos don't exist anymore, but they're just not used as often. Although films/plays such as  The Importance of Being Earnest are still popular, it's probably very rare that kids talk about it. It's common to hear people talk about films like Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, but you rarely think about any old films. I'm like this as well; I'd have a hard time naming just one old movie. I wish people would watch older films more often, since they're a little bit harder to understand, they might become a thinking experience as well as entertainment.
