A nice simple challenge this week, we’re looking at short titled movies. Pay close attention to the challenge title, and interpret that how you see fit 👀! Here are some suggestions to kick you off…
Diving into the realm of classic cinema initially: Starting with ‘M’ (1931), a harrowing German thriller that delves into the intense manhunt for a child murderer in Berlin, setting a precedent for the psychological thriller genre. Fast forward to the swinging sixties, ‘Help!’ (1965) offers a stark contrast with its lighthearted fare, showcasing The Beatles in a whimsical musical comedy adventure, where they dodge a cult and outwit mad scientists. The early ’70s brought us ‘Duel’ (1971), Steven Spielberg’s thrilling debut that pits a traveling salesman against a relentless, unseen truck driver in a tense, life-or-death chase. The ’80s gifted us ‘Tron’ (1982), a pioneering sci-fi masterpiece that whisked audiences into a digital wonderland, merging reality with the pixelated realms of video games. Rounding off this eclectic mix is ‘Heat’ (1995), a riveting crime saga from the streets of Los Angeles, where the intense rivalry between a veteran detective and a master thief unfolds in a high-stakes game of strategy and survival.
Looking at more contemporary movies: ‘Juno’ (2007) presents a modern, quirky take on teenage pregnancy, charming audiences with its vibrant characters and sharp wit. In ‘Hugo’ (2011), the magic of early cinema comes alive through the eyes of a young boy in the heart of Paris, weaving a heartwarming narrative around the enchanting allure of movies. The high-octane world of Formula One racing is masterfully depicted in ‘Rush’ (2013), dramatizing the fierce rivalry between legendary racers James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The poignant tale of ‘Lion’ (2016) takes us on an emotional journey across continents, as a man uses technology to bridge the gap to his long-lost family in India. Lastly, ‘CODA’ (2021) touches hearts with the story of a young girl torn between her musical aspirations and her deep bond with her deaf family, highlighting the universal themes of love, duty, and the pursuit of dreams.
