Haha, no, nothing to do with the Rolling Stones. Or Amy Winehouse. Nothing to do with music at all actually - the title is more down to free association than anything else.
You may claim that I am pushing things just slightly when I say this but the films above do have something in common I just can't place it. At least two are members of the film noir genre, famous members at that; Touch of Evil - directed by Orson Wells and The Third Man, adapted from a Graham Greene novel and directed by veteran director (who the younger generation may in fact never have heard of) Carol Reed (he's a man by the way, don't let the name fool you.) The last one isn't a film noir but a famous sporting film and a true story - Raging Bull. However, apart from not exactly being a happy film, it is also shot in black and white, the general mood and style are in fact close enough. So, I mean... Yeah... Maybe you should watch all three and then I'm sure you'll see what I mean... Honest... =)
happy viewing!

FREE WILL: DO WE REALLY HAVE ANY?

Hey there! I have been informed of the presence of a question by someone, however it seems to have somehow got lost in the ether... But basically the question was, apparently anyway, "what is the genre name for this kind of dark and depressing film?" and the answer is "film noir". And then of course there are "dystopias" the more sci-fi based films that present negative scenarios on how the world might turn out (think Renaissance or Children of Men)Hope that helps!
YanıtlaSilOoh and by the way folks, if you're in to that kind of thing I have a dystopia themed week coming up in a few weeks time so watch this space :)
