Watch Classic Movies And Fall In Love

Classic movies are gems of creativity. They lure us not for the gimmicks of special effects or sparkles of technology. They delight because there is a taut story line; brilliant actors essaying the characters and the ability strike a chord with the audience.

There is a renewed interest to watch classic movies online. Though nostalgia is the word used for this interest. There is more than what meets the eye. Classics are loved by people in the middle age. But people of all age groups, barring children, are seeing it more. The reason is—people do feel their routine life is becoming static or stagnant. Doing the same tasks again and again. To break out of that rut they will try the latest music, toys or gadgets. But the result is the same—the disaffection and confusion still lingering. Classic films are given the touch of balm and soothing the tired or heated nerves. It is giving a whole new outlook to life.

Moreover the themes of classic movies and the human situations are still relevant. Take these movies-- The Wizard of Oz: Gone with the Wind: The Philadelphia Story: Some Take It Hot: Roman Holiday etc. Their themes still resonate in our contemporary life situation.

A young woman questioning her coming marriage; or a girl asserting her conviction that there is nothing like a sweet home; or a spoiled girl in the Civil War hits South turning increasingly vociferous on inequities; or fantasies of a princess in Rome; or the idiosyncrasies of struggling artists trying to make the two ends meet are not issues alien to us.

Everyone will accept that classic movies flaunt more intrinsic value than the flashy special effects of new movies. Take 12 Angry Men, its outstanding story fully compensated for the poor production values like shooting the whole movie in a single location!. Its character development was phenomenal and the realism unmistakable. While modern movies rely too much on special effects and complex technology, a classic is never seen compromising with the soul of the movie.

Fortunately there are more avenues for watching classic movies. Many online movies websites are bringing home classic movies online. Surely the modern technology is giving us the joy of viewing the latest movies.
