You´re a sweetheart.
Dorin, your que...Thanks Terry. You´re a sweetheart.<br />Dorin, your question made me think very hard. Let me be clear, I like today´s actors as much as those of the past, and I love to see new films. What fascinates me about these old postcards is that these European stars of yesterday are mostly forgotten, while they made great films and were once very, very popular and all these postcards are prove for that. <br /><br />Film historians tend to focus on the directors, the auteurs. The stars are mostly overlooked, while the public then went to films beecause of these stars. And on TV you can seldom see anything else but Hollywood films. <br /><br />Through these forgotten stars you can get glimpses of the history and the great tragedies of Europe. Through particular live stories you can follow how communism and fascism destroyed people´s lives and careers but also destroyed complete film cultures. You also witness how the arrival of the sound film broke some people´s careers, but also stimulated local European film industries. How women were popular as divas or as brave mothers, or as sex pots. How their fashion styles changed. How the ideas of smoking and sex appeal changed. And how the European film culture often inspired the Hollywood industry.<br /><br />Does this answer your question?<br /><br />See you next week at PFF.Paul van Yperenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839067381947344501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082052777383347559.post-10976948799622048432011-01-16T07:37:43.668+01:002011-01-16T07:37:43.668+01:00I wonder what do you think about the actors of tod...I wonder what do you think about the actors of today, and those of tomorrow.<br />How do they differ from those from "yesterday"? :)Dorincardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919474118944557430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8082052777383347559.post-70155612837013042512011-01-15T00:48:54.788+01:002011-01-15T00:48:54.788+01:00Howdy
