My Parkinson's triggers anxiety when I watch tense movies. As a former film critic, I can't enjoy many all-time favorites.
I had the unexpected chance to show a young Ukrainian woman some Hollywood sites she had only known from movies. Studio heads hold the dreams of millions in their hands.Rom-coms like “Sleepless in Seattle” and inane comedies with Doris Day are more my speed these days. I find “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies” and “The Glass Bottom Boat” especially calming. And I can’t get enough of the Howard Hawks-John Wayne western “Rio Bravo.” Probably because it’s both formulaic and old-boot familiar.
I hardly recognize the guy who told his students: “Everything you need to know about film is in ‘Psycho.’ Understand ‘Psycho’ and you’ll understand filmmaking.” Now Alfred Hitchcock’s brilliant exercise in audience manipulation feels too clinical and cold-blooded. And because of my diminished threshold for such things, it’s sadly way off-limits.
