Bringing Up Baby

When I found out that this unit was going to be about Romatic Comadies, I was surprised that we were going to be watching a film from the 50's. I did not think that it would actually be that funny. Bringing Up Baby is a comedy about all that can go wrong, will. I think that Susan is a very funny character, but Katharine Hepburn kind of over does it. After the first half hour, I got a little annoyed by her obliviousness. I also got annoyed with the length of the movie. Although it was not overly long, the jail house scene was too crazy and never ending. The character's constant yelling got old quickly. I think that although the director may have thought that everything in the scene would add to the crazyness and humor, a lot of things could be left out. Overall, I did like the movie and was pleased with the humor.

Here is a link to the movie's trailor. You will see what I mean by the crazyness.

Citizen Kane Thoughts

I had really mixed feelings about Citizen Kane. I am not a huge fan of old movies, so I my initial thoughts towards this movie were a little negative. But I kept an open mind, and i ended up liking it more than not. There are some things I didn't like about it. For instance, I have a short attention span and I really like action-y movies, so this movie to me seemed to go on and on. But it wasn't that bad. I thought the acting was pretty good, and I thought Orsen Welles did a good job directing, producing and acting. I also liked how at the end, the viewer gets to know what Rosebud was, but the characters never find out. I guess after watching Citizen Kane, I am more open to watching older movies and like them more than I thought I would.
