Nashville, Gosford Park, The Player, my god even The Company.
the overlapping murmur of conversation, the flowing camera work threading through sets, a silent observer. Robert Altman has showed us a new way, an intimate way of interacting with the silver screen.
yesterday, at the age of 81, the legendary Robert Altman passed away at Cedar Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, of complications from leukemia.
i'm only sorry i didn't catch A Prairie Home Companion when it was at the cinemas, stupid boy didn't want to see it.
But you know what? He's already contributed so much to modern film making, and he was recognised for all his work at the oscars this year with his life achievement award, that all it matters now is that he passed peacefully, knowing that his work is loved and appreciated by all. I just wanted to give him a little wink and a nod from my little piece of the internet.
Let's have a Robert Altman Film Marathon. M-A-S-H, Nashville, and Prairie Home. Perhaps sometime next week? if anyone is interested, call or email me, or better yet, deany boy if you're reading why don't YOU organise it?

How the hell did I get dragged into this?

Altman was awesome, no questions about it. Haven't watched one of his films in a while, but that's more a testament to how memorable his films have been [watch it once, remember it well for years type deal]
I remember watching Gosford Park at the Rivoli, surrounded by old folks, and there was a little 80yr old a couple of seats down from me sobbing, telling her neighbour 'it was just like that back then!'
Normally I would have laughed about then, but it really struck me as a beautiful moment in which cinema can really strike a chord with someone at such an emotional level.
Of course then you start thinking that 'my god that lady must have had an interesting life' if hers was like Gosford Park, a cinematic nod to Cluedo...
Go in peace brother.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something
that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
