It's difficult to rate a screenplay when it's meant to be watched rather than read as a book. But anyway, while the story is quite simple and somewhat basic, with romantic tensions between two lost souls blah blah, it's important to keep in mind the context in which this was written. It's not the deepest most philosophical work of all time, but it wasn't meant to be! It was a screenplay appealing to the masses. And yet there were other ideas and thoughts presented in the work beyond this, which did make it interesting to read. Having never read a screenplay before, its hard to say if it really comes across as cheesy or insightful, but I'm leading towards the former.
