Arsenic and Old Lace

           Arsenic and Old Lace is a great movie. I really enjoyed watching it during class. Usually black and white movies do not entertain me very much but when they do I really like them. At home sometimes my mom and dad watch black and white movies and I get so bored that I can not finish watching the whole movie. The way they dressed and even talked back then is very different than now. Even though I do not regularly watch black and white movies, I do think that they have much more meaning than the ones from now. Most of the movies from now are filled with cursing and even drugs. I liked Arsenic and Old Lace mostly because it was funny. It is funny how Teddy "Roosevelt" thinks that he is the president of the United States and screams "Chaaaarge" everytime he gets chance. I also find all of the facial expressions Mortimer Brewster does all throughout the movie hilarious. Not only was this movie funny but it was also ironic. That is another reason why I enjoyed it so much. It was filled with irony which made the movie even more suspensfull. I never knew what else to expect. It is so ironic that the two "innocent" aunts were the ones doing all the killing.  Martha and Abby Brewster were the ones that were insane all along and not Teddy like everyone thought. Teddy was crazy but not as crazy as the two aunts. I really enjoyed watching this movie and it only adds to my perception about black and white movies. I think that most black and white movies are not very interesting but the ones that are interesting are even better than the ones in color.
