Hi I’m June Perino and I will be your moderator for Post- War Hollywood Classical.
When I think of Classic Hollywood films many things come to mind, such as: strong storytelling, direction, acting, cinematography, editing etc. It is the whole body of the production that makes these films have a timeless quality that people can enjoy in any era.
Good luck!
12 Angry Men – Bleh who hasn’t been made to watch this by there elementary school teacher ☹ also I believe if I remember correctly I had to watched this in prof. comos’ speech 101 class, and urgh it was still boring…I know I know it’s supposed to be about breaking down racial prejudices or whatever but still it was boring…from a films students point of view I believe I learned in Jens CT 205 class that this film was notable because it was shot in one place and the director created on screen tension by zooming in as the move went on, you know cutting off more and more ceiling. So to make the jurors seem more enclosed and more at odds… but really I don’t care.
Ben Hur - Charlton Heston’s most famous movie need I say more? Oh there is plenty of horse racing and you can learn a little about the life and legacy of JESUS if you watch it.
The Ten Commandments – don’t remind me of how many times I’ve been made to watch is old school movie at church…I think its soo funny, like my favorite part of the movie is were Moses is getting the ten commandments and the lord is like fire like a fire whip and the words are been written in stone…lol makes me laugh every time. Then when Moses comes down with the commandments people are acting way fired down…and he like smashes them on the floor because everyone is acting crazy and parting, then he’s like iight I see how you do I was gone for one minute…lol…then he’s like okay who’s on the lords side? Kill everybody who is not on the lords side then everyone scrambles etc. anyway good stuff good stuff.
West Side Story – Can’t believe I’m saying this but yes I’ve seen this movie…geez I’m starting to feel like I have no life, lol, it’s a cult classic, that’s the main reason why it’s cool, other then that the movie is kinda cheezie classic good gurl falls for bad guy, half the movie is following the gang doin mischief or whatever like the cops are looking for theses kids the gurl hides the bad guy, but in the end she couldn’t save him and he is a victim of his life style…not to mention this joint is a musical see this is why it was so cheesie too much dancing grease was beta lol.
The Birds – Yooooooo this moive is still the craziest horro movie I ever saw, I remember it made me cry as a little kid, especially when those seagulls were smashing into the car. This movie is sick, the chick comes to this town next thing all these birds are flocking around, then they start attacking, and killing people causing car accidents and stuff…it’s crazy that’s all I can say, when you see birds pecking at people movie fiction or no, it does something to you on the inside, I suppose it makes man feel helpless against the forces of nature, so that’s why this movie is so scary, but I don’t know it’s just my take.
Rope - Alfred Hitchcok. Probably one of the movies he is less known for, however probably an extremely critically historical movie. It was done all in one basic setting, using stage hands to constantly rotate the set to accomocate the huge color cameras. It was also a classically edited film with the sequence shots editing style. The only cuts were when they ran out of film. The only problem I had with this film narrative wise, was the lack of suspense, especially coming from a Hitchcock film. The suspense was mainly wondering when and how the body would be discovered. Overall I enjoyed the film although it wasn't his best work.
