The Universe is unfolding as it indeed should and the ever infinite, cosmic, multi-dimensional and majestic opening that is Ventnor Library has a new treasure awaiting discovery, an opportunity to journey back to the era of the classics.
An era that when viewed form the perspective of 2009 with DVD technology, shows that the originality and template drawn up in the classic’s titles is well worth some serious attention.
‘A Matter of Life and Death’ is a staggering film which was originally made in 1946 and the visual perspective of scale, story and ideas within, make it a classic simply due to the fact that it argues the extreme importance of love – the force on Earth that is so unbelievably strong that it cannot be broken,even by the law of the Universe.
Humour, insight and philosophy
Humour, insight and philosophy. Lush, romantic colour and black and white combined, with a demonstration of understanding and teaching of the subject of just how important love is, are all clear in the allegory.
Perhaps it is a very romantic view, yet it is a film that works and the defence of the argument for a person’s life to continue the journey, has never been so beautifully portrayed, in any film since its release in 1946.
The fact that when watching it over the years, it gives a wonderfully, reassuring quality to any audience who may have fears, apprehensions or worries about life. Everything makes complete sense with this film and shows that the Universe is unfolding as it should.
