i'm getting a little tired of the the whole idea about putting characters who are filmmakers in movies, having them say "i want to make a movie about a boring town" when the movie that they are in is about a boring town. kind of like in those TV shows where the characters say "Something like this only happens in movies, this is real life!"
anyways, the movie is decent. It isn't particularly good or bad, but there was nothing that really did all that much for me. i won't try and dissuade you from seeing it, maybe it WILL do something for you.
has anyone else noticed that all these movies filmed in black and white on modern cameras look like they are stifling things, holding it back? it doesn't look natural, it doesn't look like the way the old black and white movies did. you can almost see in modern black and white movies that the shot is established by someone used to seeing in color. old movies were different in that that was all they knew, composition and lighting were more well thought out.
