I went to the Orem public library and watched this movie that was filmed in 1973. I have not even heard of it in my whole entire short life before. I guess I am way young, because apparently many older people know about this film.
During this time period films were definitely slower and less action I presume. I was waiting for comedy, but it never came. When the movie came to an end, I realized that I liked it. It had a good story. It is mainly about two professional baseball players who are best friends. One of them had an illness that took his life a year later. The player who was not sick took care of his best friend and made sure where his sick friend went, he went too.
If it were not for the requirement in this class to go to a film screening, I probably would have never seen this movie in my life. I am thankful that I was able to see a different genre in movies. I assume that in class next week we will discuss cinema, and hopefully that will help me understand better.
So it wasn't completely action packed like transformers 2 huh? Well, at least it had a plot. But isn't it interesting how movies have transformed. It seems that all the blockbuster movies today are the one that have no real story line but are filled with complete action. Really shows how our society is shaping. Yeah, the older movies seemed to be a little slower but yet they also seemed to have great plots that consistently flowed through the entire movie. Older movies tend to be a little more emotional moving and intellectually involved. That's my opinion though.
