Oldies

I'm learning that old is gold. XD

What on earth am I referring to? Movies, actually. More accurately, the TCM channel on Foxtel, the equivalent of our Astro back home. (links leads to wiki pages)

I've been pleasantly surprised at the elaborate costumes and detailed settings used in the old films. Or it's probably because I've always loved the old English, Victorian settings. There's something about those gorgeous gowns, with velvet and ruffles and lace, or the breathtaking landscape gardens, a reminder of the old princess-y dreams. <3

Being old films, there is a larger amount of realness to be found in the films, as it accurately reflects the period of time.

So anyways, the two which I've watched so far was a 1940's Pride and Prejudice and 1958's Gigi (musical). Speaking of which, yes, I just realised that Pride and Prejudice has a much later adaptation in 2005, but ah, malaslar. =P I've seen the Xanadu (musical) 1980, the film which spawned the popular song, Xanadu, sung by the lead female, who also happens to be Olivia Newton-John
Now that I loved the film, I might consider looking up the book. Ah, I phail at not having to have read the popular book.

This post reminded me of another post I did, Anne, anyone? A real favourite of mine, which celebrated its 100th anniversary this year. To which I might add, I did eventually managed to download all the 3 movies and marathoned it. =3

This post is pointless. XD
