Go ahead, expand your horizons

It never ceases to amaze me how many people won't watch a movie because its black and white, my kids and husband especially, the idea that because its old or not in color means that its boring is so incorrect. I think we can learn a lot from old classic movies, we can see some history, and by that I mean that we can see how society was at the time a movie was made, we can see what was acceptable or not to show on the big screen, we can get a sense of how movie technology has changed. Any flashy thrilling movie that you watch today is only there because people pioneered in years past to create and advance these technologies. I am so sad when my kids refuse to watch a classic movie with me, some of my best memories were as a child watching a Saturday afternoon flick with my mum. Alas, I guess thats a sign of getting older, when you look at a younger generation and start to reminisce about yesteryear. Maybe I am stuck in the past trying to regain some thing from my youth, who knows. All I know is that i get such enjoyment out of watching an old flick, the melodrama that is over acted by todays standards and the extravagant costumes and sets that were used I just find irresistible. So, if you have never watched an old move then go ahead and give it a chance, expand your horizons. You might just be surprised that you like them.
