One more word about Annie.


If you watch this clip, you will appreciate one more of Annie's many flaws. The camera doesn't stay still for a moment. A musical scene has to be seen to appreciated. That's clearly impossible here. Even Bob Sajak on Wheel or Fortune the other night said he can't go to most movies because the constantly moving camera gives him a headache. This is a pathetic trend today, a bandwagon on which all the unimaginative cinematographers have leaped. So I would advise any parents with children who are autistic or suffer any other problems with concentration to avoid the dizzying, undisciplined, and boring camera work of Annie.

Note: Why is it "Hard Knock" life? It seems to me "Hard Knocks" would make more sense. In life one doesn't get a hard knock, you get hard knocks. Plus it's much more euphonic to sing.
