(though they are technically not reviews,just some random stuff) I would be glad if we could visit each other's blog (mine is pretty new haha) and share some thoughts about movies!Nina.A*https://www.blogger.com/profile/09772899224726929769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-70228089951287582482017-01-10T19:52:39.996-05:002017-01-10T19:52:39.996-05:00I'm glad you enjoyed the movie so much too, an...<br />I'm glad you enjoyed the movie so much too, and as we saw last Sunday night, many others did too. Damien Chazelle went through quite an ordeal getting this movie made. But beyond that, I think the times, right now, are ripe for people to be more receptive to a musical honoring the classic musicals. Now, like during the Depression, people need to be cheered up - we don't need more dystopian movies. That wasn't Chazelle's motivation I know but that I think is what is working.<br />Beautiful post.Christian Esquevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442827724576856379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-79152074919029148172017-01-09T11:30:12.316-05:002017-01-09T11:30:12.316-05:00Great!

It was an absolute joy. An homage to the past, but relevant to today. I found the ending to be perfect on many levels (no spoilers) and very 21st Century. By the way, I saw that today, Ryan Gosling thanked Debbie Reynolds at the Vanguard Awards. He said: "I wish I could have said this in person but I'd like to thank Debbie Reynolds for her wonderful career of work, She was an inspiration to us every day. We watched 'Singing in the Rain' every day for inspiration, a truly unparalleled talent so thank you to her for all that inspiration."Patricia Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482205986073010951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-10255196412650886302017-01-03T05:28:11.798-05:002017-01-03T05:28:11.798-05:00An intelligent and literate review, with amazing p...An intelligent and literate review, with amazing photos, of an enchanting film.

I had been avoiding the movie because I feared that it might "wink at the audience" and I could not bear that. I am weary of the attitude that everyone today is almost too sophisticated to live.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
