Yeah. It's for one of my filmmaking classes. I have to choose a movie between 1900-1950 and do a breakdown on what made it good/bad -- things like how it was written, utilized the genre/it's mood and style, the set design, compared to other films of its era, etc.

If it were up to me, I would have choosen Rear Window. Instead there was a list of movies we had to choose from, and in one of the first lines above that list page Rear Window (and others) was explicitly stated could not be choosen to do a paper on. Yeah...

Was there any reason why Rear Window was apparently forbidden? >_>

gj finishing TC. What sucks is that I feel like an assignment like that could be enjoyable, but through the virtue of it being an assignment, makes it a drag. If you get what I mean.

You could write on the dark implications of the ending...

Dorothy runs away because Mrs. Gulch has an order to destroy Toto. That order is presumably still active when Dorothy returns home at the end.

Rear Window was made after 1950 so I don't know why it needed to pointed out to not do that one.

Its an allegory for the gold standard (brick road) versus the silver standard (silver slippers) and the illusiveness of paper money (green=Oz).

Dorothy=Everyman from smack-dab middle America
Scarecrow=brainless rural folks
Tin Man=heartless industrialization
Lion=cowardice of the public to challenge the status quo
Wizard=green (paper) money

Theres more that I cant remember. East (DC) versus West and some other stuff.

No. If I had to guess, lots of other people probably chooses it all the time or something. There was a list of others we couldn't do like Psycho, Citizen Kane, Seven Samurai, Metropolis, The Bicycle Thief, etc.

For real. It doesn't help that I'm not exactly crazy about films during this time period.

I did do an entire body on how shit production for the movie was.

I meant 1960. My bad. I remember Breathless and Seven Samurai were my backup options, but alas, they too were on the list of movies we couldn't write about :(

Oh, if youre doing the film, you would have to write about how they broke the allegory by making the shoes ruby red (to look good in color).

You mean behind the scenes, like the actors being forced to work 17 hour days?

I didn't do that specifically, but I did make a big deal about how they used color.

Yeah, behind-the-scenes stuff. Sounded like a nightmare.

Toto actually misses his cue in the Somewhere Over the Rainbow number.

When Judy Garland places him on the seat of the tractor, he offers his paw for a shake. Later, when it's time for him to shake, she reaches over and grabs his paw because he's no longer offering it.

I get the feeling that was the result of a long shoot.
