I always enjoyed black and white( and color as will) film ever since I can remember. So for the next following weeks I'll be talking about movies that are close to my heart and giving some background of the making, actors, actress, and directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Capra, John M. Stahl just to name a few.
So many to choice from I know but it fun to look back to film from the silent era and how much movies have change over a long pointed of time.
Another thing I enjoy more than watching a movie is the making of the film. I have more fun watching the whole road of the making from just an idea in pager to planning the roles to begin filming. It's weird why I do.
I know Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is being use on many films now a day, more in others. It's fine when the workers are using the program to improve their graphics that are difficult to bring in real life by hand. But when the whole movie is in CGI is just a waste of money that may or may not hurt the film once it opens at the box office.
That are other movies that are over looked for many reasons. Story line was not clear enough or it just made the person think too much over it. I will go more on detail on blog#10.
I watch many of the movies in Turner Classic Movies(TCM) that I have not seen before, once I give myself the time to sit and relax, I enjoy the film as if it was made recently. The actor that come together to play the characters( at times) make a person feel what they feel and more. There few actors( I can be wrong, but this is my own input) take a person to the same place as the characters should be at.
There were actors I enjoy that I will (again) in each blog I go over the movies they are in. I don't want to give anything away just yet. Because it would not be any fun if I just told everything in this blog.
So what do you think of movies that have been made over the years? And do you remember a movie that move you to tears? Or which one made you over think your mind for the answer once the film was over? These are some of the questions I may ask for answer to(just for fun).
I will continue until the next blog, I will see everyone on Wednesday for my update of the week( sorry for this week, I even thought I wouldn't be able to write a blog tonight, My laptop as a big bug that I need to clean off)
I will see everyone on Wednesday then on Friday, Remember stay young.^,^
I feel that over the years many movies have shifted from the writing aspect to visual. That the focus is on what looks the best not what is the best. Unfortunately too, the entertainment I have been accustomed to is the colorful high definition films, which conflicts with older movies. I attribute my impatience and unwillingness to watch older moves and 'classics' because there is no color or looks grainy. I am aware of this however, and try my best to broaden my what I watch.
ReplyDeleteYeah lots of movies have forgotten about the story element or even go into the character aspect, its all about visual now and days but one movie i really liked in this era was Gran Torino, it was really well written and good character aspects. The black and white films from back in the day showed many great aspects,like lighting, characters, and even storytelling
ReplyDeleteWell, I Don't remember what old movie I had see, even I don't like movies that make me cry. Even though some movies are great.
ReplyDeleteEva~ Ian's comment got me thinking. There are a lot of films that do stress the visual. I recently watched a trailer for Melancholia, for example (http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/melancholia/).
