Notes: I have to admit that I was quite impressed after all. I mean, the movie itself was a rather basic documentary, there was really nothing fancy about it but I was just really impressed by Hensonās legacy. I mean, sure, I had heard about the guy but I never really cared much about his work (itās not that I didnāt try, I have actually watched all the Muppets movies). Well, thanks for this movie, I really got to understand why he was actually a genius and probably one of the most influential artists that ever worked on television, no less than that. Sure, like everyone else, he was chasing the money but not as an end but as a mean to an end. Unfortunately, 30 years after his death, we have reached an all-time low in this area as every studio and every streaming service only talks about delivering as much 'content' as possible instead of trying to deliver something that might be actually good. Concerning Hensonās private life, they didnāt really go to deep in this area but it seemed pretty obvious that he severely neglected his wife and kids. Unfortunately, I think itās unreasonable to expect from such a genius to have also a peachy family life and I donāt think you can have both things, having such an amazing seemingly all-consuming professional life and also have an harmonious personal life as well. Of course, he died really young which was really tragic but, considering his crazy work ethic, you might wonder if he would have been able to last much longer anyway (seriously, at the end of his life, he looked more like someone in his 70ās than someone in his early 50ās).
“I wasnāt really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out. To be honest, I donāt really understand Matthew Vaughnās obsession with this franchise as it was already the 3rd movie he made for it. I mean, sure, I will have t” read more

Notes: It turned out to be a solid romantic feature and I have to admit that I really enjoyed the damned thing. Itās interesting because it is actually a very basic story and it does almost play like a romantic-comedy but the end-result was so much more subtle after all. There was also the fact the two main characters both came (literally) from the gutter and, as far as I was concerned, they were so much more compelling than the upper-class characters that you usually got with your typical romantic features delivered by Hollywood at the time. I have to admit that it did not recognize or remember Janet Gaynor (I actually saw her before in āA Star is Bornā and āSunriseā) but she was really good here and she had such great chemistry with Charles Farrell (they would make 10 more movies together). Eventually, it is basically a really slow burn romance but I was amazed by how well it actually worked. Indeed, there was no gimmick or high concept here, itās only because he was so kind with her and she was so kind with him that they eventually fell in love with each other. Itās difficult for me to pinpoint wat this movie was missing to become really great, maybe it was slightly too long, but it wasnāt far from it though.

“Since this movie has a really solid reputation (it is included in the ā1001 Movies You Must See Before You Dieā list, among other things), I was quite eager to check it out.
