It has been a while since I have seen this movie so maybe I should give it another chance at some point. To be honest, even though it might be based on one of the most prestigious plays ever written, I have to admit it, I had actually knew nothing about it when I saw the damned thing and the main reason I wanted to check it out was because such fine actors like Dustin Hoffman and John Malkovich were involved. Still, even though both actors delivered some solid performances, I had a rather hard to care about the whole thing. I noticed that Roger Ebert made an interesting comparison between this story and ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ and I definitely agree with him as both movies deal with the struggle of some average working men. Well, in my opinion, this story was pretty much some kind of boring version of ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’. Furthermore, I thought that Willy Loman was such an unlikable character, as a result, I really had a hard time to care about what he was going through. To conclude, even though I thought it was rather disappointing, it remains nonetheless a classic story and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
