S 1921 Move notes

This film is packed with fun and surprises from start to finish. Katharine Hepburn as Susan is simply an incredible character. Her wit and vivacity keep you glued to the screen. Her antics to keep her "baby"—that adorable leopard—lead to a series of laugh-out-loud moments. Cary Grant completely breaks away from his usual suave image in this film. Wearing glasses, he transforms into a wooden-headed paleontologist, and his excitement over dinosaur bones makes him seem like a big kid. Every time he and Hepburn cause chaos together, you can’t help but think they’re the perfect duo. One scene that really stuck with me is when Susan, trying to hold onto David, gets herself covered in mud and loudly declares she wants to go on an outdoor adventure with him. Her persistence and charm are simply irresistible. Then there's the scene where they’re both drenched from the rain, running through the mud, and despite everything, they’re just so happy. It perfectly captures the innocence ...

  Watching You Can't Take It with You, I was truly touched by the warmth and humor of this film. It's filled with laughter and the essence of human connection, making it incredibly heartwarming. The story revolves around Tony, the son of a wealthy banker, who falls in love with Alice, a girl from an eccentric but close-knit family. This family is full of quirky characters who pursue their own interests and dreams, free from societal constraints. I particularly loved Alice's grandfather, the patriarch of this unique family. He gave up a lucrative business to live a simple, happy life, encouraging his family to follow their passions and find joy. His philosophy, "You can't take it with you," resonated deeply with me. We spend our lives chasing wealth and status, but in the end, we can't take these things with us. What truly matters is how we live and love. Tony's father initially looks down on Alice's family, seeing them as oddballs. But as the story...

  When watching Jezebel, I was completely captivated by Bette Davis's portrayal of Julie. Julie is so willful and confident, as if the entire world revolves around her. Her decision to wear that red dress to the ball, blatantly ignoring Southern societal expectations, was both shocking and mesmerizing. She seems like a spoiled princess who believes she can do anything without considering the consequences. At the same time, I could understand her pain and struggle. Julie truly loves Preston, but her ways of expressing that love are so misguided. Her demand that Preston stop his bank meeting to spend time with her seems outrageous in the context of Southern society. But to Julie, it's just her way of showing love. She craves attention and affection, yet Preston is always preoccupied with work, neglecting her feelings. The dialogue in the film left a deep impression on me, especially the exchange between Julie and Amy. When Julie speaks to Amy, you can sense her frustration and se...

 After watching "Angels with Dirty Faces," I gotta tell ya, I'm still reeling. This 1938 gangster flick hits home even today, and it's crazy how relevant it still is. James Cagney's Rocky Sullivan? Man, that street kid turned tough guy is like a mirror, showing us all those forgotten corners of our society. Watching him bust heads on screen, I can't help but wonder: if we gave kids like that a real shot, would they end up on a different path? Then there's Pat O'Brien as Father Jerry. Same rough start, totally different outcome. It really makes you think, doesn't it? How our whole lives can change in just one moment, one decision. But what really got me was the friendship between Rocky and Jerry. A gangster and a priest - talk about opposites attract! Their bond, man, it's complicated. Isn't that just like the battle we all fight inside? Good vs. evil, right vs. wrong. We're all Rocky, in a way, wrestling with our demons. That ending, th...
