There are those iconic movies whose narrative structure, the atmosphere, a specific scene or the music are etched into our collective memory. You only have to say the sentence "We'll always have Paris" to evoke a whole world of (black & white) images and emotions. Say "West Side Story" and the rival gangs whirl through the streets of New York dancing. Say "Groundhog Day" and a grumpy Bill Murray as an undervalued weatherman experiences the same thing all over; day after day after day after day. In 'Behind the Scenes' our memory is taking us for a ride - as usual. The recollections and associations don't match up. Things are happening that never happened in the film. Or did they? Or did they happen just a little differently? Or didn't they happen at all? Or... cóuld it have happened... if you could have had a glimpse behind the scenes..., had a peek in the kitchen..., could have been a fly on the wall...? |
