Depressive social realistic movies were lining up and did quite well in response to the recession. The current recession have not really sparked a wave of movies dealing with the hardships of the common people.<br /><br />Yes, I have noticed a focus on the later movies. I am sorry I am entirely out of touch with current cinema so I have not been commenting as much of it as I probably should. In any case it feels good to close a period and say that is that.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-38944252170033745592012-10-10T10:39:13.456+02:002012-10-10T10:39:13.456+02:00well, my explanation for saving it for last is ver...well, my explanation for saving it for last is very simple indeed: It is the last film of the thirties on the last. I know, boring reason.<br />I know you are a big fan on "The Thin Man", so it does not surprise me. The version I found lacked subtitles and that meant I did not get the full experience of the dialogue. Maybe I will like it better second time.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-84817119751296884162012-10-10T00:39:32.424+02:002012-10-10T00:39:32.424+02:00Good analysis.

I believe you are completely correct that people go to the movies for escapism, not to be reminded of their misery.<br /><br />I've still got a few dozen films from the 30s to see (and some from the 20s, as well). I've actually been concentrating at the other end. I've now knocked off every single film that has been added to the original 1001 Movies list, including the 2012 additions. I finished it off with Lantana a few days ago.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-87746000046179214242012-10-09T19:40:16.699+02:002012-10-09T19:40:16.699+02:00I have one film in the 1930s left, and it happens ...I have one film in the 1930s left, and it happens to be <i>Wuthering Heights</i>. How interesting that we both saved it for last.<br /><br />I agree with a lot of what you have here. I still think <i>The Thin Man</i> is a better film than <i>It Happened One Night</i>, though. I love that screenplay. SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
