Cinema — Myths and Meaning🎥
Myths And Meaning In Classic Cinema
How to get more from your viewing experience
Movies of the past still hold magical powers of imagery and symbolism that resonate today.
If you appreciate the artistry and detail that goes into filmmaking and you would like to explore cinema’s rich and diverse history with a discerning eye, please join me on a journey of rediscovery. You may even find a few new surprises along the way.
Each month, I will offer up two or three titles for viewing at your leisure. My goal is to explore these selections in detail and how they connect with today’s world. Exploring genres and film conventions in ways you may have never considered, I hope to spark a discussion about the art form and conjure new ideas about cinema’s great classics. We’ll even delve into some ‘not so classic’ films.
As your template for each new entry, I will update this article regularly with successive reviews of the films I love.
