Sensationalism in Film

Posted on 07 July 2009 by admin

When I think of the horrible movies I watched in the Seventies I am appalled. Somehow I missed out on all these amazing films I am watching today in this film class. I’d like to blame it on my parents but they never stopped me from seeing Jaws, The Fury, Carrie, Willard, and the absolute worst – Alive! (which was about a giant killer baby!).

In middle school and high school we weren’t much interested in ’serious’ films. Still, I did manage to see American Gigolo (my black sheep of the family aunt took me to see it at the drive-through) and my parents dragged me to All the President’s Men, where I whined the whole time. Admittedly, I was able to actually sit through these films instead of covering my eyes for ¾ of the film. I walked out of Jaws because it freaked me out so much. That should have told me something. But one had to be cool, right?

Our middle class youth culture had no interest in politics or social issues – we were after titillation and hair-raising horror. My friends and I were appalled by One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – it was probably the first time we left a movie silent, all of us deep in thought. Today our kids don’t have to wait in long lines to see a killer baby bite the head off the milkman – they can flick on the television or the internet and escape into whatever world they want.

The film fare available today has reached epic proportions of sensationalism and this bothers me greatly. I stay away from most of this fluff now – I’d rather read a book and wait for the once a year film that makes me leave the theater silent.

Become A Movie Extra and Boost Your Acting Career!

Posted on 16 June 2009 by movies

By Talent Man

As you know it takes a lot of stages and determination to make a movie. There are hundreds and sometimes thousands of people needed to make a feature film. Take a moment and consider the large epic films of the last 20 years. These movies include Gandhi, Spartacus, Gladiator, as well as many others. The grand achievement of production for these movies was monumental and it required the creativity and dedication of many talented people (production hands, movie extras, technical experts, and etc.) to make these movies possible.

Top 5 Awesome Foreign Films You Have Never Heard Of

Posted on 18 May 2009 by admin

These films are really awesome due to their great story lines and wonderful cinematography.

I would advise watching these films with subtitles on instead of dubbed, although dubbing can be hilarious it does not keep the authentic feel of the films so only watch them dubbed when drunk or really bored.

By Dejvis

Please put away any initial thoughts of the way you think a real movie director should sound and act doing their job. It’s tough not to want to emulate directors you respect both in style and attitude.
