Old Movie Magic

So since I’m headed to London next semester I’ve been trying to read up more on U.K. news, especially reading reviews on what shows are playing and what I’ll be able to see when I’m there. In the midst of my research I came across this article yesterday about that old movie magic and how it’s something we just don’t see anymore. For example, It’s a Wonderful Life is mentioned and being my father’s all-time favourite movie, it’s one I’ve seen countless times. For me that movie is powerful and you come out differently on the other side having watched it. The article talks a lot about how movies today don’t have that kind of passion anymore because movies are made instead to sell. Who could possibly disagree with that? But this writer also has hope for some new movies coming out: Spielberg’s War Horse, Scorsese’s Hugo, and Hazanavicius’ The Artist. He thinks these movies might be a step in the right direction towards getting back that old movie magic. So check out the article below, it pretty interesting.

The return of that old movie magic
