The Movies (2019)

A Simple,Superficial and Shallow Treatment of a Truly Magical Subject.

[1/10 · 25 March 2020]

I am an enthusiastic movie devotee and this series of documentaries is both disheartening and disapointing.For a subject that encompasses the industrial as well as the artistic , this treatment of 'The Movies' reflects post modernism at it's highest point ie it is simplistic and superficial .There is no mention,in depth, of any other country's movie tradition or achievements and therefore leaves the ignorant thinking movie making was and is a solely USA construct and endeavour. The film clips were the only highlight but marred by the shallowness of the commentary.
