The opening credits were rather confusing, showing little bits of the story, like a lady tied up in a closet. The movie had some rather dramatic characters and also held a lot of qualities of a silent film, with the big over exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. The music was also very similar to that of a silent film. The journey the lead woman goes on to help her poor husband is incredible. The train scene was definitely my favorite. The passion between the Gerry and her husband as they try to face getting a divorce and the money for her husbands airport project is nothing short of modern, with a few classic touches.
The opening credits to the movie were very advanced from the last few movies we have seen and very impressive. The lighting of the names sequentially really looked nice. I also loved the fact that there was a strong female lead, and the connection she had with the lead man was incredible. The way they went back and forth the whole movie and how her pushiness won over in the end was really spectacular. I also noticed that in this movie, much like in other movies of the time, that they had people, called protégés, who they sponsored and they played music or read poetry, some sort of art. It was really interesting to see, especially since Carlo, the protégé, is always stuffing his face.
I am a fugitive of a chain gang, was one of the best movies I think I have ever seen. Being a huge movie buff thats saying a lot. Being in this cinema class is opening up my eyes to how movies were made, and the incredible advances it made in such a short time period. This movie was one of the first to use the vita-phone, and in ways it did and didn't show. Some of the sound effects were definitely added on and didn't fit just right, but others were spot on, and really made the film ten times better. This movie was definitely a huge part of the new technology that led up to the movies we watch and love today, not to mention that its probably one of the first with a somewhat disappointing ending.
