a weird thing about movies..

I never really thought about it but I noticed that some of the must successful and beloved movies of our time, often are movies that take place in the past. Look at movies like Titanic and The Notebook. Also these movies tend to be somber and dramatic.

Maybe its because deep down we treasure the Golden Era of Hollywood, and we much prefer the glamour of those days than the immoral way out there type of movies you see today.

Sure you got successes like Pretty Woman, which doesn't take place in the past, but it does evoke glamor.

We all know the past wasn't glitzy, but I think we like movies that take place in the past because it gets us away from the problems of today. The movies that set the standard for Hollywood, and made Hollywood what it was came from the past.

Its a weird thing about movies though...that the successful movies of today, somehow have something to do with the past.
