Film Noir! Out of the Past

I didnt actually enjoy Out of the Past as much as i had thought i would. I thought that the movie was a little confusing at times and i got off track on who was screwing who over and blah blah blah. I did however think the acting was well done in it. The man who played Jeff Bailey was awesome. His conniving character made the film more interesting. also as much as i didnt lke Kathie in the movie she played the past very well. As much as she screwed other people over she still managed to portray herself as the victim of everything. she clawed her way out of certain situations. Whit could have killed her and gotten rid of her earlier on the movie but he didnt, something she must have said or done changed his mind. One thing she didnt succeed in was convincing Jeff to come with her and say that she is the only one for him. But in the end he double crossed her. The thing that predicted for the ending was that after Kathie shot Jeff he would still survive and return home to woman that he actually loved, Ann. I thought the ending was a little abrupt but it wasnt that bad.

In the beginning to the middle of the movie it didnt seem like the woman was the dominant person throughout the film. I didnt really notice the domiance until Kathie sent Joe out to kill for her. I loved the female dominance. I think it changed the movie up and made it way more interesting

His Girl Friday!

By Far my favorite movie out of any movie that we saw. I loved the dialogue in it. It was one of those movies where the characters talked really fast, you really had to pay attention to what the characters were saying if you missed hearing a couple of words you wouldve missed the joke or missed a very important piece of the movie. Walter was my favorite character. His personality and wit in this movie really made me pay attention to what he was saying. It was funny how the whole time he kept managing to stop Hildy and Bruce from leaving town. Right there is just showed how much Walter actually loved Hildy and didnt want to see her leave with some successful but yet boring guy. It just seemed to me that Hildy was only with Bruce because Bruce was everything that Walter wasnt. Bruce was a kind, caring, and loving gentlemen, but Walter mostly cared too much about the paper and didnt pay much attention to what Hildy felt or anything. But once they reunited again after Hildy was gone for 3 months you could tell that she really cared for him when she returned to his office in the beginning of the movie. Whether Hildy liked it or not she couldnt get away from the paper no matter how much she tried to fight it. This is what made this a really good screwball comedy.

StageCoach/ Unforgiven

As much as i love movies these two movies didnt exaclty catch my attention. Stagecoach to me was one of those movies that were hard to stay awake on. Im pretty sure there a lot of people out there that can somewhat relate to what i am saying. Although Stagecoach did relate to most of our common westerns with the whole good guy bad guy scenario and cowboys and indians , horses and guns and booze. I didnt just like Unforgiven more than Stagecoach because it was in color., but the camera movements and everything else taht went along with it was pretty good. I thought that the whole good guy bad guy scenario was just awesome. The action and the dialogue in the movie really caught my attention. I also liked that fact that the whole indians were bad guys thing was not present in this movie. But just in general western is probably my least favorite genre out of anything else but i still had a good experience watching these western movies, i got to expand my verizons more.
