Movies and Music

I'm really lucky to be in the film, sound video course, as this course allows me to watch good films. And for the past few weeks, my kind teacher has been screening some great films to us lucky students. And it's really fun to watch good films with all my movies-loving classmates! We'll always analyze the films. Not bad. So, here i am, promoting 2 of them.

First, I wanna say these films are super super old films. :)



First up,

Singin' in the rain.


It's really a classic film, classic musical I must say. A very bright film, comedy musical. Don't get the title wrong, the film is not about everybody singing in the rain. But what this film has is everything. Great soundtrack. GREAT dance moves. A predictable yet cheerful film. It's a different type of musical then the new musicals you see on screen. What I mean different, is that the dance is super old school, songs are super old school, but the plot, the screenplay and the script is truly fabulous. And don't underestimate old school.... it's really a wonderful film.


Eh.. btw.. this film is better than high school musical a million times. Seriously.


Imdb rating: 8.4/10
(Imdb top 250 #78)
Awards: Nominated for 2 Oscars. Another 3 wins & 7 nominations

And also, I always use imdb as a guide. Truth is, it's not always about the rating. A million people might think a particular film sucks, but you might feel that the same film is the best film you'll ever watch. It's all about how you interpret the film.It's really how you connect with the movie...



So next up...

Psycho.


Considered one of the best Hitchcock's film.
I mean, this film is, for me, one of the best thrillers of ALL time. No kidding. You guys might remember this particular FAMOUS scene. The bathroom scene.

This bathroom scene is one of the most famous scene, and has been referenced by many movies, many advertisements and clips. It's the scene where a woman bathes, and there's a really loud and scary background music, then someone opens the curtain...

Ring a bell?


This film has a super great twist to it, a scary twist, i mean. The motifs used in the film is ingenious, especially the stuffed crows in the norman bates hotel. I don't wanna spoil, so watch it yourself.. ya? Film is really old, 1960 film.


Imdb rating: 8.7/10
(Imdb top 250 #23)
Awards: Nominated for 4 Oscars. Another 5 wins & 3 nominations

This is undisputed a superb movie. Hope you guys don't miss it. And btw it's in black and white, but it's still superb. Seriously.



So i'll end it off here.
