film history meme | [1/3] inventions: sound

The introduction of sound encouraged new film genres like the musical, the gangster film, and comedies that relied on wit rather than slapstick. In horror films it brought about new type of monsters that grunted and groaned and howled.

Prince William stunned a 12-year-old schoolgirl - by taking her phone and posing with her for a quick selfie. She said : “He just said to me ‘you can’t beat a good selfie on Christmas Day’ and took the picture. It was really good, I didn’t expect it. He was really nice and I was so excited. I’ve put the picture on Facebook. My friends think it is really good and they have been commenting on it.”

But seriously, awwww.

Where you feel it

Throughout the film, Martin Scorsese used Xs mostly shown in the background to mark characters for death; examples include shots of Costigan walking through the airport while talking to Sgt. Dignam, Queenan falling to his death (on the building’s glass windows as Queenan falls to the ground), and Sullivan in his office discussing the flow of information with Costello (the X is created by the light shining through the window). This is a homage to Howard Hawks’ classic film Scarface (1932).
