The Blue Bird (1918)

Not exactly the film readers were dying to see after my vacation. This is based on the fairytale "The Blue Bird of Happiness" and was added to the Library of Congress's National Film Registry archive in 2004. Its significance is because of the director Maurice Tourneur. A historically significant director who uses many creative filming devices in this silent film.

The fairytale itself is ok, but the film is really really boring. This same story was reused in The Blue Bird (1940) starring Shirley Temple, a film I probably would have found more entertaining. The film stock had definitely been restored in the version I watched. There are several parts were it becomes difficult to even see what is going on because the film is so bad and faded. The best part about watching it is that I'm done with it.

You can find it on youtube if you are interested in watching even a clip of it. Not recommended.
