The black and white Feature!

With this big, (everyone's talking about!), soon to be blockbuster hit: The Green Lattern, starring Ryan Reynold's, its made me want to go back into memory lane. First off, Green Lattern is about this test pilot that is granted a mystical green ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers, as well as membership into an intergalactic squadron tasked with keeping peace within the universe. I haven't seen it yet or anything. I just know its going to be a big summer hit. Just like all the other Superhero shows that have made throughout the years of moving making: Batman, Superman, Spiderman (my favorite by the way!) Iron Man, Fantastic 4, just to name a few. It seems to be popular throughout generations and people can't get enough of it. Everyone loves a hero; someone they can admire and look up to.

So, to begin,you are probably wondering, why is she bringing this up for? Is it necessary to post a blog about it? With the Green Lattern coming out this weekend, its made me think waaaaaay back in time to the corny, cheesy and hilarious black and white feature film: Batman and Robin (the 1949 version). Yes, 1949! Ha. The first time I watched that movie was at my Grandpa and Grandma's house. My cousins, Jacob and Jared and I would lay on our Grandpa and Grandma's bed and watch it. I remember my cousin, Joseph, getting into it and always wanting to watch it whenever he came and visit Grandpa and Grandma. He was big on collecting batman action figures and always seemed to purchase them when different versions came out. Its just a way of showing his appreciation and devotion towards the heroic figure. Haha.. my brothers even had their fine share of batman figures and losing them here and there.

The 1949 Batman and Robin 15 chapter feature film is very low budget but entertainingly hilarious and fun to watch. Yes, its cheesy and can be corny. But, you know, good humor and wholesome entertainment is nice to watch once in awhile. And think of the creativity back then. Yes, they didn't have the effects they do today, but you have to admire their hard work, effort and art of it. They made this movie four years after world war II! Its just a good, fun filled movie that kids could enjoy and then go back and re watch them on YOU TUBE years later.... haha. Its definitely a first step into what was and to now what is showing 0n the silver screen today.
