| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The Decade of Schlock |
| There's something about schlocky 50s movies that sets them apart from the
rest. Let's face it, ever since man captured images on film, we viewers have been subjected to low budget gems, which are quickly forgotten and rightly so. With the introduction of the atomic age, the space age plus the troubling social phenomenon, juvenile delinquency, the bargain basement films produced in the decade of the 50s, takes a sharp turn from the conventional formula of earlier efforts, produced on shoe-string bud- gets and targeted for similar audiences. What emerges from these social and technological developments, is a genre here-to-fore unknown. What's astonishing about these movies, is that what would normally be panned, is now praised but not for the intended reasons. The Brain From Planet Arous is a prime example of a picture never intended to generate laughs, yet audiences for the past fifty years have done lit- tle else. Think of it. Has anyone ever turned away in horror from a hid- eously distorted face seen through a water cooler? Or how about any claims of a conscious contact with a higher power when John Agar offers Barstow or Victorville to Joyce Meadows, in the "Temptation of Christ" scene? As for Steve March's randiness, if you're not transfixed on the suspension wires, notice the deficiencies of Gor's (the villain brain) an- atomy. It becomes clear why he's so content in the human form. As for Val (the hero brain), well that's another story, you know how rude dogs can be. This movie is a pleasure to watch, every time I see it. I recommend it, and hope you enjoy it half as much as I do. Have fun! |
