Watching All the Sight and Sound Best Films 2012
I just feel terrible. So, I've had FilmStruck for a few months now and have been using it every once and awhile. I watched The Mirror and The Bicycle Thieves yesterday, but as I wrote this blog, I almost forgot that I had also watched Bicycle Thieves! One might say: "well The Mirror is just so powerful both visually and narratively, you just forgot the more tame BT." Nope, The Mirror was a dreamlike, visual masterpiece, but now that I'm thinking about it, I remember liking BT better, especially as a first-year law student who is thinking about what motivates others to commit crime on an almost daily basis. BT is subtler, but contains a much more fully realized, albeit complex, moral.
With this in mind, I feel like, even though I titled this blog: "Briggs' Music" I should use it to better retain the memory of the great films I've seen. Also, I just don't want to make a different blog cuz I don't feel like it. I went on listchallenges.com and checked how many of the Sight and Sound films I've watched. It was 82, a pretty respectable number at age 26. Four-stars. But there are some that I had trouble with. Have I seen Casablanca? Have I seen Gone With The Wind? I feel like I have, but I don't remember much about these films. So I didn't count them, I set a new goal that I have wanted to do for a while: watch every film on Sight and Sound's critic's list of 250 greatest films of all time and write my thoughts on each of them.
