Two Films Depicting Historical Events & One to Remember Diane Keaton By
Magdalene Laundries operated by nuns’ orders of the Catholic Church until well into the 20th century, used “fallen” women as slave labor. Prostitutes as well as victims of rape, incest and rumor were supposed to serve for life without pay. If pregnant, women had their babies taken from them. This film’s fictional story focuses primarily on 4 women. We see why they were sent to a laundry and their terrible treatment by sadistic nuns running the place.
Peter Jackson [Lord of the Rings trilogy] produced and directed the innovative, if not revolutionary, documentary we are showing in honor of Memorial Day. It uses historical film footage of World War I that has been held by the Imperial British War Museum. Much of the footage has been colorized, and, in lieu of narration, Jackson uses actual audio of unscripted soldiers recorded during WWI. Film speed has been adjusted in most of the film from 24 frames per second (as was typical in 1918), to 18 frames per second, which is typical now. The film was released on the 100th anniversary of the 1918 Armistice ending World War I, to universal acclaim.
