I have a thing for old black and white movies. Especially in anxious times, they slow me down and calm me. I think it has to do with telling a single story rather than flooding viewers with a barrage of plotlines, images, and settings. It almost feels as if someone is reading to me. I don’t know if you share this taste, but one of my regular peak experiences is being read to while I’m cooking. These days, I watch old movies while I do my exercises in the morning, and feel a little more able to face the day.
Hi Arlene, I appreciated your film review. May look up this old b/w which sounds awfully close the bone of this moment. I agree about the calming quality of flicks from that era, which I think also comes from the purity of people's emotions and motives. No one is too cool to be human or displaying unfathomable character.
