Filmclub report 4
Last week’s filmclub taught a few lessons again. For example as we’ve seen, showing movies from VHS tapes via a projector is not a good idea, because the image gets to blurry. I can blame this mishap partially on the tape, which is after all more than twenty years old and even on a TV it would have not been as sharp as our eyes would trained on DVDs the last few years, would like it. Nevertheless I would lie to say thank you for all 16 people who watched the movie with me. We had plenty of people who showed up for the first time.
The advantage of using the projector was that the experience was more cinema-like. We had the projector set no a table in the center and as people could not sit in front of it we had a natural aisle there. Thus the seats were set in 4 rows each side. It started to resemble to a real movie theater.
Somebody asked the day before the showing whether War and Love was a good movie. I could not answer with a reassuring yes. I believe the consensus supported my opinion that it was worth watching it for the story and for a peak at young Kyra Sedgwick. Unfortunately the main actor was not the best choice, I believe. I may not be the only person thinking that because the actor did not get to many roles after this. Nevertheless we all had a memorable time.
