Rant about movies

I love watching movies from classic Hollywood.  They have a sense of charm around them that really astounds me, especially because of the color schemes (black and white) and the camera work.  I especially like the way the actors speak and how different cinema really was from today.  Today, fake scenery as a backdrop would never pass (unless accompanied by a green screen of course, and even then, sometimes its really easy to notice) as nicely to the audience.  Audiences want many action scenes, special effects, and steamy scenes.  I had the opportunity to watch Orson Welles' infamous Citizen Kane tonight in my film class.  I loved everything about it.  Sure, it wasn't the happiest movie I've ever seen, but the way everything blended together was magnificent.  There is a reason why so many people refer to it as one of the greatest films of all time.  I feel like a lot of people don't appreciate the movies of long ago.  It's a shame, really, how much people are changing.  I guess it shows how much has happened in history, as a world, and as a country, since then.  Things are very different from back then.  It would still be cool, though, to see someone make a film similar to those made in the early years.   Good Night and Good Luck was a pretty good try.  I enjoyed that a lot when I bought it.  Why aren't other people trying that?  I would totally be one of the first people in line at the theater if something like that came out.

Michelangelo Antonioni- He died recently (I don't really know much about him, but when I typed in Movies of Long Ago in the Google search box, he came up and it looked the part)
