4.       Some films I like: Destiny, Buster Keaton filmography, It Happened One Night, The Trouble With Harry, Amelie, The Mission, Sonatine

 

5.       What do you like the most about films: The course was history of film 1 and the film was Destiny. Fritz Lang's tale had everything... Head over heels romance, magic, the woman as the hero, amazing acting and beautiful looking film. And all this was done in silence. I had seen other films before, films that open mind and mesmerized me but this was different. This is when I realized that my silly idea of going to film school was justified. If I could be part of that universe somehow, if I could express my artistry like that some day... then everything would be okay, then my life would be complete.

 

6.       Why did you choose the topic for #MTOS: Embodiment of Cool
For my first topic for #mtos (first of many I hope) I wanted FUN and tons of great cinematic memories rushing back. I wanted smirks on everyone's faces. I hope I succeed.
