Bond, Transporter, Twilight. These are the movies hitting the blockbusters this weekend. Bond, it was good. It was not great. Don't get me wrong, the action the guns the fire. Awesome! But what makes a great movie is when you walk away from it having gained something. When you walk away having learned something new about yourself and how you work. Dead Poets Society, Crash, Rudy, Across the Universe, these are to name a few GREAT movies.
The story's that seem to last through the decades are the ones that give you meaning. Nursery rhymes and kids tales that are know on every place on earth, are known because of the lessons they teach. Why has Hollywood gone to the cheap money?
Where are they? I haven't seen one of these type of movies hit the big screen for a while. Maybe that's why I want to go into film. To bring back the movies that make you want to go out and conquer the world.
Write em and shoot em. Change the world.
