Mildred Pierce

marleypumpkin · 05.14.2006, 08:47 AM

I'm watching the 1945 film "Mildred Pierce" w/ Joan Crawford. I didn't know there was a film called Mildred Pierce. Well, the only reason I'm watching is because of SY.

I know, I'm a weirdo.

I saw it in HMV t'other day. I thought about stealing it but I couldn't be arsed.

I saw the last few minutes of it on TCM, & it seemed like an interestuing storyline. & it looks like a film that I could sit down & enjoy.
& there's not too many of those films.

it's a great movie, i saw it over xmas last year.

marleypumpkin · 05.14.2006, 09:20 AM

Yeah, I'm starting to regret that I missed the beginning of the film. When I was watching the ending, I was consumed by what was happening in the movie. So, that's one attribute a film has to have to be a good film.

I've read so many books because of teh yoof. I have yet to see Mildred, though.

I'll have to watch the rest of this movie, but from what I saw, I would definately suggest this film.

schizophrenicroom · 05.14.2006, 09:57 AM

Ooh, cool. It sounds interesting.

It's really more or less a love story, but w/ a weird twist added to the plot.

Anyway, what films has everyone else been watching recently?

screamingskull · 05.14.2006, 10:08 AM

i watched a film last night, i think its called the hunted, set in portland, it was pretty crappy, but it had some nice footage of portland and the woods of oregon.

The book was good. McCain is a pretty good author. He wrote Double Indemnity too. I haven't seen either of those movies though.

h8kurdt · 05.14.2006, 10:17 AM

I watched The mighty wind, now that is freakin funny. I think i'll be watchin teh abyss tonight but i'm not sure as i've got some english coursework to do.

marleypumpkin · 05.14.2006, 10:17 AM

I'll have to check out the book Alex's Trip. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, maybe it was the director's choice to have the film be more visually effective than w/ the actual story & dialouge.

marleypumpkin · 05.14.2006, 10:19 AM

Are you talking about the movie "A Mighty Wind"? W/ Christopher Guest & Micheal McKean?

You should. There is a 3 book in one version with Midlred Pierce, Double Indemnity, and The Post Man Always Rings Twice. Try to find that one.
