Angels with Dirty Faces (1938)
Dirty faces
I lived this film. The actors did a great job with bring the message to life. There are sub plots to the story that are very strong. James Cagney does an excellent job of playing Ricky Sullivan. Along with his co-actor Pat O'Brien who play Jerry Connolly, they both take us on a journey of their friendship. And the respect they have aeven though they chose different paths in life. Though Rick Sullivan was considered or could be the bad guy of the story, his ability and influence that he had on the group of young thugs can't be denied. The story is well
Written and use great techniques of foreshadowing and backstory through dialogue
King Kong-A-Thon: King Kong (1933) - Review (2017)
King kong
I have never been a fan of this film. The storyline didn't seem unique until I had the chance of understanding what it represented during this time period. Thinking of King Kong today we really don't get the feeling it thought if it being a horror film. But during this time time period a big ferocious gorilla is on the prowl and snatches a woman. Could see this as something scary. But I guess through the years or at least in my option it grows to be a love story.
His Girl Friday (1940)
His girl Friday
With the understanding of the time period and the way film was viewed, I like the set up of this whole story. The film takes you on a great journey with questioning how will this all play out. You have your suspicion about the motives of the character but then there's a moment
Of dialogue or action the makesmypu think other wise. The main characters Walter burns does great with persistent and quick thinking. In what is considered "srewball comedy" he says things to Hidy that are, well a bit sexually. Good ending.
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
Silent film
This is my first time ever watching a silent film. I had doubts from the beginning and questioned how does a silent film work? The story navigates very good and with out the dialogue it's was a clear understanding on what was going on. Of course the words does help but the acting runs great with it as to where you still have a sense of what is going on. I really wonder how the actors rehearse for these kind of movies?
