Mehso-so

#sundaybuddyread historical fiction about the early days of the movies transitioning to talkies, based on the life of Colleen Moore. I don‘t know why I couldn‘t get into this, I‘m not sure I‘d have finished it without the group. Maybe the movie theme again, maybe the waste and abuse of power? Right at the end the museum curator says she wants to show Doreen‘s movies in another exhibit as a tie in but most of them are gone. The type of film ⬇️

mcctrish used in the early days of silent film basically combusted. Even when people knew this nothing was done to transfer much of the early films in time. This seems like metaphor for the US itself, always onto the next thing, never being reflective, always reinvention, not preservation. 6h

A slow meander through a fictional look at the start of Hollywood, with a sprinkling of nostalgia for the silent film industry. Doreen O‘Dare is the fictionalized portrayal of Colleen Moore, a silent film actress and the creator of the Fairy Castle. Reading this book makes me want to watch silent films! A good choice for #SundayBuddyRead .
