Yerlin Cienfuegos Prof. Fernandez-Sterling Enc 1101 T-TR November 11,2013 The Lovely Bones When going to see a movie based on a book there is a saying that always comes to mind. The book is always better than the movie. In my case this saying has almost always been true. When taking a book and turning it in into a movie you can’t include everything, if you took the book and used it word for word as a script you would get a six hour long movie. Not only would people not sit through a movie that long, some things don’t translate well from book to film.
Walt Disney and Pixar faced competition from Sony, Fox, Lucasfilm, DreamWorks, Paramount, MGM, Universal etc. Hence, competition in the CG space was fierce. 2. Power of the technology: Many of the big production houses including Disney lacked the technological expertise to compete with smaller firms such as Orphanage, Wild Brain Inc etc in terms of quality of the movie. Hence, these small animators were cutting deals with bigger corporations giving them only the distribution in exchange for decreasing fee amounts.
Making their own Hollywood versions of movies, both actors redo the movies and they do it less skillfully. With the stores future at stake, they take on a bigger role and redo over 300 titles to make enough money to save the store from destruction. The movie keeps a good storyline by showing that under budget movies without special effects can compete with the larger upscale Hollywood movies. Be Kind Rewind is the first warm welcoming movie of 2008. Sam Osborne states that we all have our places we tend to rent movies from.
The Punisher, however, seems to lack some important details that help a movie be of good quality. Batman Begins is better than The Punisher because of the character development, the number of villains introduced, and because of the variety of locations the movie is shot at. Character development is something that can be distinguished more in Batman Begins than in The Punisher. Batman Begins shows a more in depth coverage of the actual life and transformation of an every day civilian to a superhero. To accomplish this, more information was given on whom Bruce Wayne (Batman) was and what he had to go through.
The Shawshank Redemption is totally the contradictory from other book adaptations that typically have less similarities than differences because The novella have their differences but there similarities stick out. amazingly, there were more similarities between the novella and the film more than I estimated. The principal similarity was that the dialogue between both the written story and film were mostly the same. some of the dialogue in the novella was very realistic, unsuitable, and revolting, and could turn away the people in a movie. All the most important moments and events of the story happened exactly the same way in the same time in both versions.
It is a completely unconventional film, that was somewhat shocking to audiences when it first came out in theatres because of its extremely different storyline that most people had not seen in film before. However, it attracted a lot of people, however, because of its witty humor that pokes fun at the storyline. This film is an American independent film because it fits completely into Geoff King’s theory of independent films. This means that it’s production history is not what a typical Hollywood movie’s would be, it’s narrative is something that most film audiences have not seen, and it has a very strong alternative vision and voice that will make people think once the movie is over. This film has
Multi-threading is a very important aspect to television today, but Johnson believes it has not received the credit it deserves. I agree that multiple threading has positive impact on television today, because of the different characters and plots make TV more interesting. Shows today you have to pay more attention to or you will not understand what is going on. For example The Wire, you have to watch every episode to understand the show. Shows with less multiple threading are easy to understand, because you can predict the ending most of the time.
Luhrmann aimed at a younger age group, and he made it a lot more exciting and violent with a lot more action using the best special effects possible at the time it was made. Technology was evolving at the time this version was made and the younger generation were more interested in movies with the best special effects a movie could offer. Because of this approach, the language did not match the movie as it did to Franco Zeffirelli’s version. However, although they were carrying around guns, Baz Luhrmann kept the language from the original script and
Some critics even saw the film as a perversion of the novella and that the relationship between Aschenbach and Tadziu was ruined through the visual aspects film. Although many aspects of the film were interpreted negatively, the artistic nuance that is celebrated today was greatly driven by the audiovisuals and score that give a unique value to the film. Many aspects of the film are intended for a certain interpretation but instead are interpreted in a way that belittles the piece as a whole, luckily the audiovisuals and score used do not typically fall under this category. In fact the audiovisuals do a great job in connecting Visconti with the film and in creating content and context. The music also is a key aspect in the great success of the film because it expresses yearning for a unity of serenity and sensuousness, an important aspect necessary for the delivery of subtextual content.
In IV.iv.2-69, Hamlet has a very dramatic soliloquy that is very effective for the impatient and technologically inclined audience. Gregory Doran directed his production in a way that is different than any other production; he took a risk and made it as modern as possible, without losing the essence of Shakespeare to target a younger audience. A younger audience tends to be more impatient with the content of their movies and TV shows; Doran uses this to his advantage, knowing that it is typically the younger audience that watches TV and videos. By having a strong and familiar cast, he draws the viewer into the video and keeps their attention by moving scenes around and subtracting unnecessary lines. In the rather dramatic soliloquy, Doran cuts out almost half of the lines.
