The Long and Short of It (2003)
A Fun-Sized Short Film
I really like this movie because it's got a purpose to it and it's entertaining, which is what movies are all about. Entertainment. That's the only reason they made this, some fun while they were doing nothing, and it kept them occupied for a day or so.
I thought it was cool how everyone who was helping was doing something completely different from what they were doing in Lord of the Rings. Actors being directors (Sean) and Directors being actors (Peter) and many others as well.
I thought the music was a bit weird at the beginning, but I got used to it quickly and just enjoyed it for what it was, which was all they expected us to do.
Alice in Wonderland (1903)
I can't believe this has survived this long...
I just discovered this film the other day and was surprised at how interesting it was. Yes if it were to be made today it would be shot on the spot, but nobody expected anything from movies back then and I'm sure the people who originally saw it thought it was great.
I also admire the actors for having to rely solely on body language to tell the story and express what's going on, because obviously it's a silent film and has no sound.
I especially think that the costumes, props, and backgrounds look pretty good, even though the card procession was obviously shot in on a park road. :)
I just appreciate it for what it is, one of the first films ever filmed and some pretty good looking effects.
