Sunset Blvd (1950)
I just came off a trip of LA, universal studios and Santa Monica and it felt strangely ironic that today I should get a glimpse of this dark reflection of the worst of Hollywood as portrayed by the best of Hollywood. Sunset Blvd, the 1950 movie, was extremely refreshing and haunting and was quite surprised at its 'meager' 3 Oscar haul (of second level ones at it). Maybe not as surprising given the subject matter.
I wont give you the usual banter and details about the movie. its best viewed here and here.
Anyways, this is not the first movie that I saw this quarter. But is a part of an ongoing effort to celebrate the hard work over the last couple of years; by catching up with lost and recommended must-watch movies. Posts will mostly be erratic, but am hoping to capture through these posts my progress over the 'let me watch atleast one movie a day this quarter' challenge to myself.
