ya pulp fiction was great... there was this on film i dont remeber the name but the girl was doing coke with the guy from the 70s show and her dad was against drugs. its was weird but while the movie was playing the colours would change when it wa s different people playing that was trippy movie. just looked it up Traffic.
"rosebud" was reputedly what he called his girlfriend's pussy. how is that for trivia that can't be a shared at Christmas dinner, although i have tried
that is the rumour! it would be interesting if it was true! I like classic movie trivia"rosebud" was reputedly what he called his girlfriend's pussy. how is that for trivia that can't be a shared at Christmas dinner, although i have tried
I believe Citizen Kane is famous because it was the first film to employ cinematic techniques, like close-ups, quick cuts, etc. If you watch some movies that were made before Citizen Kane, like Dinner at Eight, Grand Hotel, or even the original King Kong or the original Scarface, the camera moved very little -- it was almost like filming a play.
It's been years since I've actually watched Citizen Kane myself, but I remember thinking that much like Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, Kane was something that was so revolutionary that every movie that came after it copied it and built on it, so if you watch it now you almost wonder what all the fuss was about. I was left thinking the movie was just ok.
If you did want to watch it and try and truly appreciate it, I'd suggest maybe watching some other older movies of the time period, like the ones I've mentioned above, first to get yourself used to the standards that existed back then. In my university days I watched a ton of older movies, and when I got around to watching Gone With The Wind and Rhett Butler said to Scarlett O'Hara, "Frankly my dear I don't give a damn" it hit me like a bolt of lightning. I was like "Oh my God! What did he just say?" Very tame by today's standards, but once you frame it in the context of the time period, it was quite a moment
.at 3 am, I wasn't creative. If I were to post the question now, I would put a title to make you proud.What on earth possessed you to use such a lame title for this thread?
Seriously, dude.
If that's the case, The Godfather (parts I and II) ranks among the best; Coppola's screenplay was brilliant.
Just wondering..
