UNIQUE CINEMA CONNECTIONS can link TV series, movies and actors that otherwise would have no relationship. This technique doubles as a way to demonstrate one’s knowledge of film acting, movie themes, and cinema history as well.
Actually I find unique cinema connections fascinating, challenging, and even entertaining. These days movie watching at home is very easy since the proliferation of so many TV channels that are devoted to current and old movies.
In fact the only requirement to make these kinds of connections is to have a sufficient body of film knowledge to make seemingly unconnected themes or actors connect. With sufficient knowledge, one can connect sets of films and actors using this linking system.
How It Works For example one can select two totally unrelated actors or themes, end to end. In this case, I have chosen JK Simmons at the beginning of the unique cinema connection and Susan Kohner at the end. Actually they never appeared in anything together. Their careers have no time crossover. Finally their appearance themes are unrelated. But in spite of these factors, they can be connected by following a set of unique cinema links.
JK Simmons as the bar owner in LA La Land
JK SIMMON, the Musical Director in Whiplash
Miles Teller in Whiplash (A LA GENE KRUPA or Buddy Rich)
SAL MINEO as GENE KRUPA
