There are several different genres of movies, and Netflix doesn’t only offer original content, but also classics and beloved films from years past. For example, ‘Loving v. Virginia’ is an iconic film, and George C. Wolfe’s ‘Mother of the Blues’ has received rave reviews. In addition, Netflix has a huge catalog of documentaries, such as ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, and has hundreds of thousands of books and articles spanning the centuries.

Martin Scorsese’s ‘Mother Of The Blues’

“The Blues” is a sweeping documentary that premieres on PBS this fall, and Martin Scorsese directed an episode. The film features iconic blues musicians like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Bessie Smith, and B.B. King, as well as a host of other blues artists. The filmmakers also shared their love of the blues and their own documentary experiences. Clint Eastwood plays a blues singer and was once in a band with Bryan Ferry.

A song that is a hallmark of Martin Scorsese movies is “Please Mr. Postman,” a song he recorded for Them in 1959. The sped-up version was later covered by Eric Clapton and the band Cream. Both versions of the song can be found on Live Cream Vol. II. During the fight, the music gets louder.

Jeff Nichols’s ‘Loving v. Virginia’

For those of us who grew up during this time period, Netflix has a number of films that are well worth checking out. One of those films, Loving, was nominated for an Oscar in 2016. It features two of the year’s best performances. It tells the story of the landmark Loving v. Virginia case, which legalized interracial marriage in 1967. Prior to that, it was illegal in many states.

Another popular movie on Netflix is Call the Midwife, which is set during the 1940s in an impoverished East London hospital. This period drama follows a newly qualified midwife and her colleagues at a nursing convent. It’s a period drama about women in midwives’ lives, and it also features inspiring stories of women. It stars Miranda Hart, and it’s rated TV-14 because it features realistic scenes of childbirth.

George C. Wolfe’s ‘Mother Of The Blues’

Ma Rainey is the mother of modern jazz. She grew up on the Mississippi Delta, a land where jazz was king and the blues ruled the night. In 1921, she became a sensation. But her story is just one of many from that era. This musical is a tribute to the great musicians of that time, and it is also a story of the music industry, which has evolved and flourished since then.

‘Mother Of The Blues’ was an unexpected hit. Although some critics criticized the play, it received high praise from the theater community, and the playwright won the Dramatists’ Guild Elizabeth Hull-Kate Warriner Award for best controversial topic. Directed by Joseph Papp, the play played at the New York Public Theater, and was broadcast on public television as part of the Great Performances series.

Yalitza Aparicio’s ‘Mother Of The Blues’

The climactic scene in Yalitza Aparicio’s “Mother of the Blues” has a lasting effect on the audience. The film was shot over 108 days and features some incredible performances, from the main actress to the supporting cast. Cuaron has long dreamed of making the film, and the cast and crew were able to achieve that goal. But the film’s casting process was not without its challenges. Producers and directors were unable to find a young actress who resembled Rodriguez. But a family member of Cuaron’s took Aparicio to a casting call. She wore a pale green Rodarte gown, Brian Atwood shoes, and delicate diamond jewellery.

While there is a clear difference between Aparicio and Cuaron, her performance in ‘Mother Of The Blues’ exemplifies both her ability to transcend stereotypes and make audiences feel authentically moved. Despite the fact that Aparicio is an indigenous woman, she was given the opportunity to act in a mainstream movie and was trusted by the director to portray the role authentically.

Lynn Shelton’s ‘Mank’

‘Mank’ is the title of the latest documentary by Seattle filmmaker Lynn Shelton, and it is one of the most compelling films of the year so far. The film centers on a woman’s relationship with her estranged son, and the film explores the emotional and psychological turmoil a family must endure in order to save its child. It stars Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Rosemarie DeWitt, Jade Pettyjohn, and Lexi Underwood. Lynn Shelton’s ‘Mank’ is a highly anticipated documentary, and it is a perfect example of how a woman’s perspective on filmmaking can be a strength in an otherwise male-dominated industry.

Born in Oberlin, Ohio, Shelton grew up in Seattle, and is married to actor Kevin Seal, a former MTV VJ. Shelton also has a son, Milo. Shelton was raised in Seattle and attended Oberlin College. She later graduated from the University of Washington School of Drama and earned a Master’s degree in photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York. On Monday, she appeared on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast.
