Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

i realise what i read affects how i write.
but more of that next time i guess.

watched road to perdition just now.
stellar performance!
ir's supposed to rank among the greats of gangster flicks,
and it does!
story is simple enough. acting is superb. and cinematography....brilliant. sheer class.
like that scene in the rain.
i teared in that scene. and it was filmed so beautifully...
time to try and psycho my dad into watching the film. he says he needs a quiet afternoon when there isn't much distraction.
better make sure he watches it.
also, it seems i have grown a habit of going down to imdb to check up on films right after i finish watching them.
did that for this too. did that for a lot of shows in the past not to mention.
and, the good thing about imdb is that its got alot of info regarding movies...hence 'database'(duh)
like who the cinematographer was for road to perdition.
a Conrad L. Hall.
this guy is amazing. reading up on him has convinced me to give american beauty a try even though i am not into such genres.
he was responsible for the cinematography in films like searching for bobby fisher(i like...), road to perdition(mmm), american beauty(hence the interest), and in cold blood( which is now also on my list of to-watch)..all of which got him(and some won him) oscar nominations...
wah. so exciting.
now that i've seen road to perdition, it's stirred up an interest in mob flicks.
i wanna see martin scorese and what all the hype is about.
mob flicks to catch:
1. The Godfather Trilogy.
2. Goodfellas.
3. Gangs of New York.
4. The Departed.

some i can get my hands on. some i can't. we'll see how it goes.
