Subject: The Movies nowadays ... Author: hss [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:58:57 09/22/12 Sat Author Host/IP: NoHost/175.141.130.119 Dear Apeks! Nowadays the movies are often just bang! bang! bang! & shag! or shag! shag! shag! with a dialogue that's most times incomprenhensible. I don't know why the actors don't spit out the marbles from their mouth before they start to say anything. I have to resort to subtitles to know what they are saying. I feel pure nostalgia for the old movies I saw as a boy, e.g. A man of all seasons, more recently 'Much Ado About Nothing (1993) and Sense and Sensibility (1995) stand out as movies with a dialogue that makes you want to hang on the lip of the speaker. Remember Thunderball? Even James Bond movies had a witty dialogue. Dominique Derval: "So, what sharp little eyes you have got" James Bond: "Wait till you get to my teeth" Sometimes the actors can say a lot by not saying anything, I remember in the movie, Mad, Mad, Mad World someone dies and as he slumps down in death his foot knocks off a bucket. That had me rolling all over the cinema in laughter! I wonder if any of you have given a thought to this issue. Best regards! HSS [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
