[Gene Kelly + Olivia Newton-John; both now passed on0]
[Modernaires (passed on but repped for the film) + ELO]
[Christianity(completely absent) + Greek mythology (subtly present in some modern religions claiming Christianity)]<.blockquote> This is a film ostensibly combining the musical/fine arts of the 1940s with that of the 1980s, with a kind od dead period in between. The commingling of these two artistic modes is esoteric in nature in a very interesting, blended way that can be fully perceived, understood, and appreciated by those who have lived through and been saturated with the cultures of both deeply American WWII, Korean, and Vietnam conflicts of global impact.Truly unique in both themes is the current existence of performing artists, amateur or professional, who lived in one or the other, or both, of these ages and who are anothe forty years later still paricipating as they did then..
I'm one of them, and know that the '40s and '80s ages have passed and are of memory only; that we now live in another age in which the rude unskilled "musical" element now so prolific is little appreciated except by only those who have never achieved in literaru, musical, theatrical, and/or spiritually mature excellence.
The body of moral and spiritual depth is utterly lost to those of that calibre. Very few will be attracted by such veins of nobly motivated effort and diligent perfecting by the participants of those realms.
How exclusive is your list to be, Chickensoup? To what degree is it to be made muddy, profaned by a poor and rude preference of such Class B to Class F- movies as have been included in your list (and they are not a few)?
I think my aim here was for feel good films that are not violent.
You are discussing a different category.
Also have you discussed films with sphinx?
