I am a fan of the movies from the '30s and the '40s, and feel that some of the newer films have lost the fresh energy and sincerity of those films, and exchanged them for cynical coarseness. This is especially true of the modern comedy, which resorts to vulgarities because the writers can't think of anything funny.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909115128440587656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-6930110805484479982008-01-23T21:23:00.000-05:002008-01-23T21:23:00.000-05:00Excellent post, Mark!

I was never into old movies as a kid, but I've been watching more and more of them lately and I can't remember the last time I've made so many 'discoveries'!<BR/><BR/>Admittedly, the films I've been watching are a bit later than this, but I am a fan of Chaplin and Keaton, most definitely, and can see the definite influence they had on animators.<BR/><BR/>But ugh, those Berkeley musicals! So syrupy...Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.com
