Magic Marmalade 19th Apr 2023		The Iron Giant (1999)	Rated 9/10 I have vague recollections of being made to read the Ted Hughes story at school of this; Originally titled: The Iron Man. ...I am somewhat sketchy about it now, but the lasting impression of it being a very haunting, sad feeling tale of the giant robot from outer space arriving on earth to be befriended by a boy, with the same depth of warmth and feeling as one of those early Oscar Wilde short stories... (Better than the plays and witticisms he is generally known for! - saw an animated version of The Happy Prince at school, which has scarred me for life, and lodged it firmly in my soul ever since! - devastated!!!) ..And it has always jarred with me... seemed odd to me, that Mister Serious McFrowny pants intellectual poet Ted Hughes could be responsible for this, but Brad Bird does a bang up job of capturing the feeling of the book that stayed with me all this time. Due to the setting of 1950s America, against a backdrop of Sputnik, the Cold War, and imminent Nuclear destruction, the general underlying themes of advancing and advanced technology posing a threat to humanity, and the boy who sees otherwise in this robot visitor (And all that this implies :) probably makes this a bit too much for very small children, but maybe early teens and up would be a better audience - so if on TV, more early evening than morning. And there's lots for older (ahem) viewers to like, in the subtle light wit, and humour that's here throughout. A wonderful animated movie! ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Magic Marmalade 19th Apr 2023		The Big Sleep (1946)	Rated 6/10 How disappointing! Another one of those I'd sought to cross off my list, that comes with a huge, and legendary reputation... ...And while of course, it essentially patents the formula for the twisty turny private investigator noir movie, I found it unnecessarily convoluted, and the plot complicated, and a little difficult to follow. What was amusing was the old stereotype of the characters talking in very quick, clipped sentences of this era: "You know what I mean see...?", "I do, see...?", "Oh you do see..?", "Oh yes I do, see...see...!".... "I see!" etc. But that was mostly I think, because it felt they trying to cram too much dialogue and plot into too short a runtime, so it feels hurried. It did gradually, mildly engross me towards the end, but I was getting quite non-plussed and even slightly bored with it until then. (Oh, and while I Appreciate Humphrey Bogart is, of course, Humphrey Bogart, swimming in his Bogart-ness, I can't fathom why every single girl and woman in this thinks he's "Cute" and can barely keep themselves from falling over in swoons every time they encounter him... what the hell is that about?) Overall... meh. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
