My life is pretty bored, in other to make some colors in it, I choose TVs and Movies to be the crayon. Lately, this past year actually, I've been caught up with AFI list. You know, AFI has its way to make a listing, 100 of them. From "all the time" category into more specific categories such us "laugh", "cheer", "passions" etc. Let me ask, do you know what movie that got the first position in the AFI chart?
No! It's not Avengers. Gosh.
It's Citizen Kane. Released in 1941.
I wasn't even born yet. Worst, even my country hasn't even got its independency.
Anyway, watching TV and Movie is always a real pleasure for me. Don't get me start on how much TV series that I've been watched, about my personal favorite movies, etc. If you have forever, that I'll do it.
This month I found a really great TV show from Netflix called Frankie and Grace.
Fuck, that was good. Real good. This is basically comedy, but a comedy who can also turn your emotion upside down, just like Parks and Recreation, in a romantic and frantic way.
Then, cause of Grace and Frankie which played by the amazing Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, I traced back her movies one by one. Until I realized, I forget how long I left my AFI movies collection. Then I found a good one from that "passions" list. Titled, On Golden Pond. 1981. Played by young Jane Fonda, her old man Henry Fonda and the great Katherine Hepburn. This was the last movie played by Henry and he's got the Academy Awards for his very last role.
The point is, I love how this classic movies works. The scoring, the minimalist frame, the accent actors/actresses, the limitation even make things more beautiful.
Oh thank God, I'm that lucky to realize that this movies are just priceless.
Wait, till I talk about Meryl and Diane in other post. Nah, you'll be tired of listening me adoring and worshiping her.
Okay, next I will watch Lawrence of Arabia, 1962, number 7 from AFI's Greatest American Films of All Time. Do you want to join?
