And I'm sure we all loved taking a ride through all the old movie clips and history. Most of the cast seemed to be enjoying themselves more than laying down Oscar winning performances. Which is fine, it gives the whole piece a certain atmosphere of joy.<br /><br />It did lack a McGuffin though, didn't it? Something to keep the characters moving along and keep the viewers desperate to know what happens next and how it all turns out. With a five-minute wrap-up edited on, it could have ended at pretty much any point it wanted to or carried on for another half hour and no one would have questioned it.Dessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172245410667624187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-76152572790141467652017-09-04T07:01:55.800-07:002017-09-04T07:01:55.800-07:00"Good enough for its purpose"-yeah that ..."Good enough for its purpose"-yeah that just about covers it.

The android from Metropolis is much larger.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335502008944631925.post-57833330151332310982017-08-24T11:48:18.497-07:002017-08-24T11:48:18.497-07:00- TS, So the automaton is 'real'?

I recognized practiaclly all the old clips and when we realize that the man selling toys is actually Melies (ups, spoiler) I may have shed a tear or two. The rest was okay, good enough for the purpose.<br />Anecdote: The automaton is part of the travelling Scorsese exhibition. I visited it in Melbourne last year and it is quite impressive. If you get the chance you must see it.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.com
