On the Waterfront

On the Waterfront was also a movie in black and white just like Casablanca. On the Waterfront, in my opinion, was easier to watch because there was more action and different things that went on. On the Waterfront was a little more difficult to follow because right away Joey was killed without anything happening, so I was a little confused right off the bat. Throughout the movie there were different emotional effects and moods, for example, the love connection between Terry and Edie, the attitudes between Terry and the priest and with all the other guys also. I had no clue what to think about the movie right away because Terry was friends or getting along with most everybody. The end wrapped up the movie for me because I then figured out what the storyline was saying. In the article, On the Waterfront (Motion picture), had great descriptions about Terry and Edie's characters. The acting, I thought, was very good; it fit the description of the movie well. As stated in the article, On the Waterfront (Motion picture), that this movie is proof that you can take the man out of the Party, but you can't take the Party out of the man; I agree with this, I would have never thought of it that way, but it sums up the movie very well. I can see how On the Waterfront was nominated for a bunch of awards and how it won, it was a well-rounded movie.
