Howdy,
It has come to my attention that your prestigious institute intends to screen "Star Wars" on October 3rd for your 40th Anniversary. That is exciting news for me and I am glad you have chosen such a masterful work of art which as been forever cemented as a great motion picture and a big turning point in cinematic history on many levels. However, my previous compliments only apply if you intend on showing the original "Star Wars" which was presented in 1977 that was the actual work of art that changed so many of our lives. If you instead present the 1997 "Stars Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope", then it will cause me to believe that your institution obviously does not treasure actual film history and rather follows the guidelines of revisionist history because of money. If you travel this road and present "Stars Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" as the film that changed history, then your organization will be out and out lying. It will also serve as the moment that the American Film Institute is proven as a bought and paid for exploitation device. All of that aside, I will offer my complete faith that your wonderful organization will correctly screen "Star Wars - 1977" as the movie that changed film making in 1977 and not "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope - 1997" nor any other bastardized retelling of the original. Thank you so much for your time.
