A cool way to see see scenes from a movie filtered by key phrases. The tired and cliché lines we've heard over and over in movies, many are typical for a genre. Then there are catch phrases from iconic movies that become part of our cultural lexicon. Would be interesting to see the rise and fall in the popularity of phrases over time. When I watch movies from India, I always notice how the use of language has changed over time. In my childhood, I watched a fair amount of black and white Bollywood movies with my parents - it was the stuff they grew up on and wanted to share with me.
The music was almost always great but the storylines were a bit out of touch with my world. I went along with it because there was not much choice in entertainment options. Thanks to that early exposure, I still love watching black and white movies - they make it easier to focus on substance over style. Since others in the family don't share my affinity, this is a solo indulgence. When traveling or alone at home, I often watch a black and white movie and relive my first exposure to cinema. Recently, I re-watched Citizen Kane and found new things to like about the movie.
