Featured review
winter Olympics
It's the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland. This is a black and white silent film documenting the sporting events. The first thirty minutes is an artistic visual of the mountain village and its nature. It's the people's athletic pursuits. It's artsy. Some people will like it. Not me so much. I don't mind a tour of the city but I'd rather get on with it. I don't know why that guy is skiing with a wedged underwear. The athletic competitions have not changed that much except for skijoring. It's skiing while being pulled by a horse. It must be a Swiss thing. It looks amazing and very dangerous. The Canadian ice hockey team almost gets a two touchdown win for the gold. I don't think it's necessary to do all the goals. It may not be a popular opinion but I would cut out most of the first thirty minutes.
