Shut Up and Let Me Go!

I guess one would expect me to write something meaningful within the pages of this blog. However, I cannot promise that everything that I write will be deep, or even reasonable. Just my opinion!

I cannot believe that we have only watched one (1) movie in the past 5 weeks of Art of Film. That film happens to be "Citizen Kane". Now, I can't say that I've suddenly "developed a new taste for black and white film" or anything artsy like that. However, I did like it. I find it amazing that a man (Welles) can write so eloquently behind the camera and really deliver the emotion in front of the camera. In a way, Mr. K., you have opened my eyes to a new genre of film. That genre of film just happens to represent a time period:

Before the 1990s! (a.k.a before I was born)

Now to turn the subject. In particular there is a movie that has caught my eye in the commercials lately. "The Duchess" staring Keira Knightley looks like another visually stunning "blast from the past". To let you in on what looks to be a fantastic movie, I've included a link to the trailer in True High Definition (this may cause your computer to load it at a slower rate- but trust me, it looks superb!)
