Last year when I subscribed to Netflix, I was browsing through titles and came across a documentary series called The Story of Film: An Odyssey (2012). As a film buff and life-time student of the art of cinema, I was intrigued. This series is controversial to some as it tackles traditional ideas of filmmaking and cinematic history and turns them on their heads. Not everyone will agree.
I find this series fascinating, educational and inspiring. Take a look at the trailer to get an idea of what you'll be getting into if you decide to watch the series.
What inspires you most about cinema?
Oh wow, that looks really interesting! It made me think of what Walt Disney said, "We don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies." I love motion picture with great music. It moves me more than still images. I look forward to watching the documentary series.
ReplyDeleteTrudy, it's definitely worthwhile. I agree with you about music. Music and Film are a magical combination.
ReplyDeleteInspires? Good acting - a must. I don't know if you have seen my latest post, I have a free book to download, Kaleidoscope, for the next four days from Amazon. Would love to know what you think. Kind regards, Carole.
ReplyDeleteCarole, I agree about the acting. It is a true gift. Thanks for the info about your book. I'll check it out.
DeleteInteresting looking series. I need another day a week and four hours a day to get time to watch everything I'd like to!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Craig. So much to do, so little time. I spend an inordinate amount of time prioritizing the things I want and need to do. Sigh.
