Even though I remembered perfectly well what was going to happen, I still was on the edge of my seat.<BR/>Report back, you guys!<BR/><BR/>JEN: Great example: <I>It's a Wonderful Life</I> has a reputation as a feel-good film, from a happier era (ha!); but in fact it deals with very dark material--Jimmy Stewart's desperation is no lightweight affair, just because a dear dumpling of an angel responds to it. <BR/>The rage and frustration that leads him to exclaim "Why'd we have to have so many kids anyway?" is frightening, and I buy that he truly intends to kill himself....<BR/><BR/>Stewart's an intense actor, and I think maybe he's remembered too much for his role as the affably daffy guy who sees a big rabbit named Harvey.Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-83000638268935506232009-02-25T19:53:00.000-06:002009-02-25T19:53:00.000-06:00I'm always amazed when I watch a movie I saw as a ...I'm always amazed when I watch a movie I saw as a kid, or even just at a very different point in my life, and see it totally differently. I can see what you mean about the difference in the violence--that it isn't explosions and guts might actually blind one to the fact that those little punches and grapplings are the kind of violence one is more likely to deal with in real life.<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to think what movies made a different impression on me in a different age. Well, "Vertigo," which just baffled me as a kid and terrifies and dizzies me now. People who write off Jimmy Stewart as a lightweight "good guy" actor forget that--and "Rear Window," for that matter. And "It's a Wonderful Life," which I never saw as a kid but found much, much darker than I had expected when I saw it as an adult.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923745480765984429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-61118670821179318642009-02-25T19:07:00.000-06:002009-02-25T19:07:00.000-06:00Wow, I'll definitely rent this film.
