Arsenic and Old Lace

Finding out we were going to be watching a black and white movie on the first day was not how i wanted to start off my day back. I wasn't really looking forward to watching this movie but it turned out to be pretty good.  The beginning was kinda boring to me so I didn't pay much attention and when it got started I got interested.  Finding out that the aunts Abby and Martha were murderers was a shock to me.  I never would have expected them to kill anyone but they did it with good intentions.  They were smart about it and had compassion for them so it didn't seem like a bad thing.  I thought Jonathan was a very strange character and Dr. Einstein was creepy too.  All the irony in this movie made it so hard to predict I never knew what was going to happen next.  Overall I liked the movie and it makes me want to watch more black and white movies.  I actually wouldn't mind watching another one in class sometime.

  2. This movie surprised me as well Stacey. When I first saw the movie start I already had a pessimistic outlook. After watching the movie I changed my mind on my outlook of black and white movies. I am always open to trying new ideas and I am glad I was fortunate enough to watch Arsenic and Old Lace. I have a new respect for older movies and fully enjoyed the sarcastic comedic plot behind this one.
