Someone was talking about this movie the other day, something about they hoped it wasn't like Moulin Rouge...period film with modern music...
I say who cares, as long as the clothes and the dancing are period.
My boyfriend thinks swing is making a comeback...I sure hope so! And if this movies helps it along I hope it is a huge success! Anything that will encourage kids (oye! this is going to make me sound like an old fogy) to wear clothes that fit, and keep their underpants to themselves!

I've only seen one commercial for this film, but that one really did spark my interest. I'm looking forward to seeing it, if not for anything but the costumes. Those stills look amazing.

This still alone makes my mouth water. . . .We used to be a rather splendid bunch.

1938:

Untitled, New York, Helen Levitt

I too love that first still of the two boys, but I could do without the 'gangsta' poses the boys are workin (badly I might add). The clothes evoke enough 'tude for them. I just hope the movie dosent lace that type of persona throughout. That would suck.

This pic above is splendid!

People magazine 8/28/06

The new People reviews the soundtrack and gives it 3 1/2 stars out of four. "They ingeniously incorporate period sounds-a bit of blues here, a touch of jazz there-throughout Idlewild...Who else would think of doing a Cab Calloway style call-and-response in a rap song?"

Why thank you. And yes, their poses are quite unnatural for a time period when most boys were still just that, boys. Not really gangster wanna-bes, at least not as they are now.

I loved this one as well, though it's about twelve years later:

Halloween, Chicago, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, ca. 1950-51

The boy (second from the top) is a spitting image for my younger cousin. At least from this angle.

I saw this movie last Tuesday with a co-worker friend of mine and we both loved it. It had funny, sassy, tense, happy, and sad moments. Very entertaining. :eusa_clap
