I saw the quote and I was down already lmao, My favorite quote from Hitchcock is 'Television is like the invention of indoor plumbing. It didn't change people's habits. It just kept them inside the house.'
I've been movie fanatic in all genres really but more or less interested in old vintage films, had a lot of experience with them. The cinematography of old films really entice me to and one of my considered top picks is Metropolis, most science fiction movies these days has become a real sell out and if you watch Metropolis it really depicts how Lang revolutionized the genre. Usually am not a fan of silent films but this one hits the spot with the phenomenal acting of Brigitte Helm and Gustav Fröhlich (one of my most respected duos). Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and The Birds as we can all agree are just classical masterpieces in history. If we going to talk masterpieces then Murnau's Nosferatu definitely gets a spot on my list, Max Schreck's attitude throughout the silent film creates a unique horror/tension genre so perfect with his gripping facial expressions combined with his genetically blessed height of 1.91m. If we going to talk comedy then for sure I am not missing out the Carry On series, Thomas' talent for the series had just blown worldwide attention. Kenneth Williams/Joan Sims/Sid James my picks of the most incredible British comedians in history just 'competing on stage' (I say), each individual actors' confidence just enhanced the performance and literally 'Carried' the series. Goin a few years ahead, the world is revealed to the great Rowan Atkinson with his phenomenal career of just endless laughter. I remember always tuning into his short skits on BBC, copying his comedic style, so shy yet so vayn. Still to the day with his Mr Bean and his new persona with Johnny English has really hit the bag for me.
There are a lot more masterpieces in the past than now for sure but this era I personally have seen some very influential material. The original 1982 Blade Runner had captured by eye with its screenplay but mainly the cinematography. Cronenweth did a top notch job on this. And of course we can't forget about the Back To The Future franchise directed by the great Zemeckis. A true masterpiece. Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko, another mind blowing experience, Donnie played by the charming Jake Gyllenhaal feeling like a rollercoaster throughout the movie. We get on to one my favorite recent masterpiece, A Dark City, an exclusive film with mixed reviews but personally cherished. The dystopian city in which John Murdoch (played as Rufus Sewell) is being chased by a group of Unknowns due to his event of brutal killings, as he tries to find evidence if he truly did commit these crimes or not reveals a yet chilling riddle of an underground network controlled by perilous beings. A big well done for Proyas's directing and a huge round of applause for Wolski's cinematography. What a film.
TV shows don't contribute that much in my life but one show got to me. A very well known AMC series, Walking Dead, an absolute monument of a series. Start till season 9 I am still dumbfounded by the sheer intense plot in each episode, the characters emotion just pouring out of my Macbook screen. Andrew Lincoln, Steven Yuen (nospoilers;) these actors I adore, since the first season I felt as though I was watching my kid grow up. Loved every single scene from them, the passion was overpowering. The adventurous journey of the small group going from one location to another always providing an action packed episode is what led me to watch all 9 seasons so far.
I still have a lot more films to talk about but from what you read, I am a quite die hard fan of science fiction. Mainly due to the cinematography for each piece, this is what captivates me the most. How the director and cinematographers create each piece is quite a fascination to me. I not only hope to meet other die hard science fiction fans but users who will be willing to understand my views on each piece and vice versa.
Thank you for your time
