TEAR DOWN THE WALLS OF JERICHO

what a great depiction of stubborn love. the humour, especially in that second act, was so enjoyable even when certain parts of the plot dragged. the relationship was particularly compelling because as an audience u r rooting for their love even when the characters themselves are not. having done this as a class screening, hearing the laughs of others in the theater gave me permission to really embrace the screwball moments. Clark gable and Claudette colbert’s quick witted dialogue created such strong chemistry on screen. And Frank Capra brings it together by always knowing how to make the heart warm

My favorite thing about this film is that these unique characters feel characteristic of their own unique world. From the beginning, Tarantino had a way of creating a universe that is distinctly his vision. To tie the charm together, the performances are near perfection and make you care enough to sympathize with the victims yet simultaneously cheer for the villain's depravity (Michael Madsen, I'm looking at you).
