After 45 years at the museum, MoMA Film curator Charles Silver is retiring. Join us in wishing him well, and read his takes on film classics on our blog.
Charles Silver has worked at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) since 1970, first in the film studies center and then (and still) as a curator in the department of film. His recent exhibitions include Roman Polanski, The Great War: A Cinematic Legacy, and An Auteurist History of Film, a screening series that lasted for five years. In his writing, including books on the history of the Western, Charles Chaplin, and Marlene Dietrich, Silver seamlessly blends his personal relationship to film with humor, behind-the-scenes tidbits, and analysis.

A parody from Shepard's point of view with spoilers from the Mass Effect video game series, set to the tune of Frozen's "Let it Go." Original lyrics by Andi Canterbury. Recording and audio mixing by Charles Silver. (Please do not use this track with your own videos without first asking for permission. Full music video to come.) This track was simply for fun; I do not take myself seriously as a singer. /// LYRICS /// The lights glow bright on Purgatory tonight, no one sober to be seen. So many Asari dancers, but we all know - she's the Queen. The Reaper threat is growing, nowhere left to hide. Council won't listen, Joker knows I've tried. Don't let them win; don't bring defeat. Be the soldier you always have to be, Shoot first; don't think. Spectres just go put on a show. I should go, I should go! Not reporting in anymore. I should go, I should go! Cut the call and slam the door. I don't care what the Council say, I'm a paragon, but report to the ship, then we'll bang, OK? It's funny how some implants make everything seem wrong. But the man who once controlled me can't get to me at all. It's time to see what I can do, Save Earth and maybe my life, too. Jump Kaidan on the Normandy; Kill Ling! I should go, I should go! I'm a little scared, I won't lie. I should go, I should go! Really hope that I don't die. Here I stand, and I'll make them pay. I'm a paragon ... My bullets flurry through the air into the ground. My trusty Avenger shoots husks and reapers all around. And one thought paralyzes like biotic blasts, I'm never coming back. The end got here so fast! I should go, I should go! Red will rise on the Reaper dawn. I should go, I should go! The Earth I knew is gone. Here I stand, and I'll save the day. Kick some Reaper ass! The end never bothered me anyway.
