Movies

50 Million Frenchmen (1931) Poverty Wager comedy - millionaire must live without resources for two weeks and win the girl. Distractions by comedy team Olsen and Johnson, but the best contribution is by Helen Broderick as a jaded spinster who wants to see Paris from the inside, to be shocked and insulted. 6/10

Helen Broderick - quite exasperating.


Do You See Seoul? (2008) Korean "wonderful teacher" weeper. Young teacher revisits his rural home and recalls the wonderful teacher who meant so much to them all. I chose this to see because I wanted a depiction of fairly normal daily life that wouldn't have explosions or torture or any kind of crazy stuff. Good choice for that, not all that fun otherwise. 4/10
