    What a great movie In The Name Of The Father is, it went up again some great movies in the 66th Academy Awards, if I recall Emma was also up for best actress for Remains Of The Day too…. I do recall the actual events as well on the news,my brother joined the army just a couple years after 😬 excellent as always mate, take care👍😃👍

  • @mrterrymoore1
    @mrterrymoore1 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    As always an unusual choice. Saw it at the cinema in 72. It is a fantastic snapshot of the early 70s. Never licked Barry foster probably due the parts he played ( check out the sweeny film ). Jon finch should have been a bigger star Thanks for the review and reminder of this film.

    Another great one 👍. This was one of my favourite first watches of 2023. I don't think you mentioned in the video that it was Powell as the father torturing the young Mark. I think that murdering 'national treasure' Moira Shearer would have condemned any film of that time 🤔.

  • @schumanhuman
    @schumanhuman 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Rewatched this a few months ago and whilst it had flashes of the old inspiration didn't like it much at all, feels grubby and dated more than shocking. I think it was a massive error to have the prolongued 'R' scene first and then later have the famous trick shot where the camera moves away and backs out of the house, I mean agree it's a great shot but why go from exploitative and traumatic scene first and then suddenly become coy? Tonally it just doesn't work that way around.

    • @ReelClassicFilmReviews
      @ReelClassicFilmReviews 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I thought that as the audience has already seen what he’s capable of, having us track back and see the world outside carrying on as normal whilst the horrors are going on upstairs was quite effective… agree with the grubby and dated though, but that’s what I quite like about it. 🤔😊

    The Beatles changed the music industry and became , Still to this day , the most beloved ❤️ rock band of all time and people are still buying their music. When they arrived in the US for the Ed Sullivan show on February 1964, America was hurt from the death of the US president. Their timing could not have been better. The brought joy and happiness with their personalities and their incredible music. And of course they just got better and better and stayed on top of the music industry till their breakup. This movie captured their magic. Lots of fun and joy with a brilliant soundtrack.

    I love the toy train and car in the opening scene. Hitchcock dares you to challenge the veracity of the set. A lodger put his head around the door while I was watching TLV, stared in unbelief, and said, "What's this s**t?" I replied, "This is theatre. "

    Sad to say Judy Geeson (Beryl Evans) is now the only survivor of the film's four main stars, as Pat Heywood (Ethel Christie) passed away on June 26th, June, 2024 aged 92. I'm sure many of you will agree all four gave such a superb interpretation of the real life people they were playing. RIP Richard Attenborough (Christie), John Hurt (Timothy Evans) and Pat Heywood (Ethel Christie).

  • @MegaGo68
    @MegaGo68 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Very glad you went to the trouble of making a video about this rather classic 1970s film. A couple points worth noting are that this film is unique in a couple of ways: it has no soundtrack, by which I mean, any music in the movie is present in the action being presented (like a song on the car radio in the opening credits); second, it's the first film to use a home answering machine as a way of conveying information about a character, in this case an early scene with Jane Fonda. The answering machine soon became a favorite device of scriptwriters, but credit to China Syndrome for being first. The film has some odd moments that add to its charm, like the way Fonda comes home and tucks a turtle under her arm, an aspect of her home life that is never explained!

  • @murtazaarif6507
    @murtazaarif6507 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I enjoyed the cinematography in this film for its low warm analogue colour pallet of red, red-orange, orange and yellow-orange that creates a mood of passion, innocence, friendly, insecurity. It works well with the moody low lighting techniques of backlighting placed behind actors to define their features and distinguish them from the background and high-contrast dramatic effect by lighting the actors from the side to focus on the contours of their faces. I particularly loved the ambiance similar to other period films and dramas that use oil and gas lamps and candles that are visible in the scenes and soft lighting that creates very few bright but balanced harsh shadows such as in the final scene in the courtroom. The colour and lighting techniques do justice to the Victorian setting and costumes and I could almost smell the diseased flesh and litter in the streets and wooden furniture and tobacco in Sherlock Holmes office.

    I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show when they first premiered in the US, and later, saw this movie on television. As a very young fan at the time, I was both thrilled and excited by both. Richard Lester did a fine job with the film, and the 'boys' looked to be having a good time. Thanks for the review - it's been a long time since I saw 'Hard Days Night'.
