Sergeant York (1941)

Simple Christian People in War Time

[20 February 2011]

Best Real Life Depiction of Simple Christian People,, not wealthy, not proud.. far from the TV evangelist kind..

Hard working dedicated folk to their family, land, and church.

Farm life depicts the cascading ups and downs of real life.. you plant, you water, you wait patiently for the increase.

these people had no want ads.. computers, cell phones.. they talk with each other, depend on each other, real grass roots..

we could use some of that in 2011. Gary Cooper, Walter Brennan and Joan Leslie give me the encouragement to imitate them,, they model real honest, genuine, transparent people.. no hype.. no facades,, the kind of people you want as neighbors and co workers as well as friends!!

A Song Is Born (1948)

song is born

[10/10 · 14 February 2011]

Best Movie with History of Music and such incredible talent! Goodman, Golden Gate Quartet, Louis Armstrong, T. Dorsey, C. Barnett, Louis Belson (drummer), Mel Powell, Hampton.

laughs, songs, hysterical characters like Monty and Joe with their accents and their slang..

I have seen movie about 10 x and never tire of it!!

we need to value this era with the intro of jazz, jump, jive, swing and re bop!

Any student of Music should view this film to hear and appreciate the classic music styles and their introduction into our culture.
