Edward D. Wood Jr...Says it all.

First of all, let me say that this movie was good in what it was trying to do. But it was almost painful to watch Ed Wood constantly fail at everything he tried to do. Not only did he not know a thing about what he was doing but he also had no luck whatsoever. In the movie I really liked when he met Orson Welles, I thought it was cool that the director of the best film ever, and the worst director ever were sitting across from each other, it was a bit ironic that the worst director of all time had this entire film about him, and Welles only had a few seconds. But after watching this movie, I only have one question. Did Wood have an innate fear of second takes, or just have an IQ of 10? Because even if he was thinking it would cost more money to do another take, his films might have been decently put together if he did it a few more times and made him more money in the long run. Its just frustrating. Also, womens clothing? Creepy.

Film makers are crazy

So Heart of Darkness, the making of Apocalypse Now. I never realized before watching this some directors are way to obsessed with what they do. I mean, traveling so far away for just under a year. Enduring all this crazy stuff. Personally if I had even one suicidal thought while making a movie, I'd probably either leave then, or never make another hollywood flick afterwards. I almost felt bad for the director, but he scared me. I'm surprised his wife stood by him through all of that. Oh and by the way, when I heard Brando showed up completely oblivious to what he was doing I wanted to smack him, It almost made me feel bad for enjoying the Godfather, because what he did made me lose all respect for him.

M is for many many days late?

Okay this is a bit late, but I had to watch M over the break because I was away. Then completely forgot about the blogs. So anyways, M was a pretty good movie for its time in my opionion. it did a pretty good job of setting the right mood and showing the emotion of everyone in the town. I liked how everything slipped out of control and the townspeople slowly got more and more crazy throughout the film. I'm glad we watched it in class because otherwise I wouldn't have seen this movie, or any other black and white film actually. Oh and one final thing about the movie, I am really glad that Hans got what was coming to him, even though he was insane what he did was horrible. I felt really bad when I saw the ladies who had lost their children.
