1. In class, we discussed how screwball comedies came about and how they were formed due to the implementation of sound. It happened one night finally feature sound on motion pictures, bringing dialogue to motion pictures. Also in class we discussed how censorship was brought into play. You could no longer put anything you want on film. It had to be somewhat moderated.
2. I read an article on Lehigh University's website talking about film censorship. Today, censorship is relatively rare due to the ratings that movies get now a days (G, PG, ect.). Back then, censorship was implemented because people weren't use to being able to see sex and violence on the big screen as much as we are use to it now. That kind of stuff is truly part of our society.
3. The article relates to our classroom discussions because we talked about how much censorship changed movies at the time. Sound/Censors were a big deal back then and rightfully so.
4. I didn't enjoy the movie all that much but I found it fascinating to see how movies were when sound was first implemented. I find it so interesting on how they did the scenes without all the technology that we have these days and still make a decent film out of it.
