My 11 year old grandson saw that clip on a preview and said wow. When we got home from the theater I handed him the DVD. He’s watched it about 3 times since. All of it. Then I showed him The Birds. Same thing.

Making Granny proud. I think young kids are starving to see good films. They’re just so conditioned to crap.

When my granddaughter was 10 or 11 I had her for a sleepover and we watched “Mrs. Miniver”.

She loved it and we watched it again the next day.

We also watched the 1946 “Black Beauty” and “How Green Was my Valley” the next time she came over.

I had seen all of those when I was around her age.

I love movies but you can’t beat the old classics.

I bet he would like the old Hitchcock tv shows. I know I did. So many of them were mesmerizing. Those were the days when you couldn’t get away with a crime on TV, too!

The editing of films was totally different than the shot on video products of today (it’s all digitally shot today and then “instagram filtered” in a computer to look like film (both coloring and texture)).

Negatives were cut together by an editor, today they use avid to edit it in a computer. The techniques employed resemble music videos. Shaky hand held cameras. Constant motion.
