I have a new found fascination with movies, a fascination that I never knew before. Most evenings I conclude the day while watching a movie, often ending up watching my favorites again and again. I'll occasionally close my eyes and just listen to the dialogue. Most times I end up wanting to know more. I want to research the characters, the actors, their real lives, their strengths and faults. I want to know the stories behind the movies that interest me. My movie preferences come from primarily the 1940's through the mid-1960's. A period that I consider, The Classics. Where before, I would have never presumed to judge a good performance or a movie well done, I think that I am semi-qualified now.
Last night I watched Sophie Scholl, The Final Days. A movie about a young German woman and her brother's efforts to rebel and inspire others against the Nazi's, their arrest and (supposed) trial. A good portion of the movie centers around her interogation by the gestapo. Highly recommended!
