syimi, une femme!

About Me

I worry about petty things, what to pack when travelling, whether or not I can pull off that hairdo and whenever a hairdresser dismisses my style I figured, she knows better.

Romeo and Juliet

I watched it during my school years when we were doing a play of Romeo and Juliet. I loved it then and I still love it now..what a fun time that was.. :)

you probably will. it'll feel different but familiar and that's i think the marking of a good classic. oh, DEFINITELY listen to your moods. i have committed that mistake of trying to watch something while i'm not in the mood (i'm wondering when i'm going to be in the mood to finish "gone with the wind"). ah, you want to watch "charade"! the first ten-fifteen minutes of that are really fun and so is the whole movie. :]] lemme know if you're wondering about anything else! :]]

i've always loved black and white so i never understood how no one else couldn't but i guess, direction would be better for you on this because direction is in exact equivalence of cinematography and if there's a good cinematography in a black and white film -- you'll probably like it a lot better. hitchcock is great and deserves his praise but i would never rave about him. i would say if you like the heiress, you should stick with william wyler. he has some other great films like "the letter" and of course "roman holiday." have you figured out what kind of old movies do you like? sometimes it's worth watching something you don't enjoy to find out what. like for me, i can't stand silent movies and it took me a few times to really understand i didn't like ANY of them. and i don't like the big technicolor productions back in the day.

i haven't watched as many as i liked. i have yet to watch all of the top movies for each year in the golden age. :/ yeah, if you re going to get into classics, find an actor you really like and stick with them (but watch their well reputed movies -- i believe almost every actor of that generation was in a mediocre film because those contracts were bitches!) that's what i've been doing. i found out i love me some audrey hepburn, bette davis, olivia de havilland, jimmy stewart, bogart, and cary grant. though i also really like ingrid bergman too. ;D ---- or if you're not as heavily into actors and their roles, stick with a director you really like. billy wilder and william wyler are the top ones for me too though i love hitchcock too (but not in an obsessive way as the other two xD).

you're welcome! thanks for following me back?! ah, really? i'm probably way too obsessed with classics but i'm glad to hear that you loved the heiress. i swear the conversation she has with her dad and the last 10 minutes are my favorite!!
