Undeniable is its importance to film industry history, even if being considered a faux documentary. Flaherty wanted a portrayal of the true Inuit ancestors in the cold arctic, so he fooled the audiences to accomplish that, by adding a bit of staging. The result is in sight. An unscrupulous depiction of a now lost kind of living. |

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939, Unrated)
oh my! i've never been much into political movies, but now, geez, i was blown away by the narrative of this one. what a true masterpiece! what started like a very simple storyline, with this country fellow entering into the true important decisions world, the senate, and his first lessons about the american constitution, politics, and even the city life he wasn't used to, ended with a battle between him (and all that he believed in) and the big and corrupt politic machine. a struggle that left me without words, like an action film only with arguments. |

The Grapes of Wrath (1940, Unrated)
a more positive view of Steinbeck's novel, and more focused on the unity of the family rather than its struggle to survive in such despicable conditions. i honestly am somewhat disapointed on how the film turned out to be, way far from the book concept and symbolism. i can't really blame anyone though, except maybe classic Hollywood with its conservative ideals and prodution codes. |
