Two films, one made you happy, the other made you want to kill yourself

Well today did start of in a good note, the musical documentary. Maybe a bit much for 9 o'clock in the morning, but never the less did have a up beat note and put a smile on my face from time to time. It did give me a new appreciation more for musicals and I don't just think 'What utter crap' any time I hear them mentioned now. But maybe the documentary did drag in places, I feel the out takes from the musical films did last a tad longer than they should have.

But saaaaying this that! The film in the afternoon we watched in production class actually made me want to get up out of my chair and just leave the room, it was a painfully badly made film that should have lasted no more than 3o minutes. But then proceeded to go on for another hour! The film has no merits what so ever, its badly cut together, the camera work is terrible in places, the plot is just ... there are no words to describe. Its just 'Wrong' in every possible way. 

If something that bad can get funding then I have no worries what so ever about any idea's I pitch to producers in the future '''LOL'''

Film Review

MGM Musical Documentary

Not the best documentary I have ever seen by any means, but still good in many ways. I feel if they had just shortened the film out takes just a little bit it would have been a much more enjoyable watch. I also would have liked to have seen more commentary by say ... crew members who were on the shoots and maybe the directors. Just talking about their experiences when filming these musicals. It was all very well having every Hollywood actor within a 100 miles introducing the films, but they never really talked about their own personal experiences all that much. 

I just feel I can watch these musicals any time I want, but I can't listen to them talk about their past experiences with these films anytime I want. Maybe thats just me though, but overall a good watch, I just feel like I should have walked away at the end feeling like 'wow' in awe about it, but it failed to reach any climatic note about the genre.
