Los Angeles Plays itself
»This is the city: Los Angeles, California. They make movies here. I live here. Sometimes I think that gives me the right to criticize the way movies depict my city.« THOM ANDERSON, author, curator, filmmaker and -critic (see also: Red Hollywood) answered with another movie: »Los Angeles plays itself.« Unfortunately it's still missing on DVD. But I just found the complete voice over text on the new filmcritic site. And an extended discussion on indiewire After having watched »Collatoral« it might be a very interesting lecture. »Of course, I know movies aren’t about places, they’re about stories. If we notice the location, we are not really watching the movie. It’s what’s up front that counts. Movies bury their traces, choosing for us what to watch, then moving on to something else.«

Thanks for sharing this
Thanks for sharing this information. I really like your way of expressing the opinions and sharing the information. It is good to move as chance bring new things in life, paves the way for advancement, etc. But it is well known to everyone that moving to new location with bulk of goods is not an easy task to move or shift from one place to other place because I have experienced about that and I face the problem like that. There I go to village near to my city faced that problem there.classic leather jacket// big and tall leather jackets// long leather jacket// suede leather jacket// sleeveless leather jacket// boys bomber jacket// kids bomber jacket// baseball bomber jacket//
List of films
I think Los Angeles Plays itself is a wonderful film. I saw it at the Filmfest last year and talked to Tom afterwards. I asked him if he had a list of the movies that he used and he sent me one. If anybody is interested I can scan it.
