I've got to say it wasn't easy trying to figure out which one I liked best, but I got to say I liked the film much more prominent then the novel. To see the action and adventure come to life was astonishing. Once you watch it though you see lots of differences from the novel and the film. You might see some from the characters or from something else. You will have to read it your self, but I will give you some differences to give you an idea of it.
Smoke Signal. All of us has some favorite movies. Movies that we like to watch over and over. Some of the movies we remember, some do not. Some people like comedies others romantic or dramas.
The Shawshank Redemption is an old movie that reveals the power of hope through an faithful innocent prisoner, Andy Dufresne. The movie was a little ambiguous for me when I watched the movie the first time, However, How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas Foster enlightened me and encouraged me to analysis the movie more in depth. Not only the story itself amazed me, also the settings, characterization, and diminutive details all seemed naturally and tactfully fit into the situation. Throughout the movie, a lot of examples that illustrate Thomas Foster’s techniques of reading appears. In the movie, after Andy Dufresne was put into the prison, he risked himself with life threatening to help a malicious officer all in return for some beers for his friends to drink on the roof.
In Mel Gibson’s version of Hamlet, Hamlet’s acting is outstanding because while watching the play we can see the effort and talent Gibson has put in the movie. Gibson knows what his lines are and he exactly knows what his actions are. His acting is so natural because while he was acting the audience can feel the pain he is suffering through. Another difference in both versions of the movie is; in Kenneth’s version it does not seem that the play is acted in the theatre, but it is done by professionals. Kenneth’s version is filmed as Hamlet family is very royal and rich; also the house is a mansion.
At that point, he started to take advantages of everything that is beneficial to him. Although, he looked like he accepted everything, but there was some things that just didn't seem like a benefit to him. Just like when at the theater; he had to sit separate from his college friends. He has turned down offers before, but of course he gladly accepts anything people are willing to do for him. In the story; it seems to be missing his rejections of offers, because its as though most of the benefits in the story has been made to be sarcastic.
Each serves its purpose well; the steel frame buildings just do so with more flair. I like to think that only a good movie would still be watched after fifty-three years. But, everything good about the book is missing or distorted (plot, characters, details). The plot is too convoluted to make a movie. But the movie of The Big Sleep is still a success and, well, a good movie, just because they changed the plot and the characters.
I prefer the horror movies that have the good plot and understanding script. In my opinion, I think people crave for horror movie because it’s not something that we see everyday, it’s something that we don’t know and never experienced it before. It kind of give me more perspective of life. In the other hand, sometimes when I watched the horror movie, I promise to myself that I wouldn’t watch this kind of movie again because it gives me nightmare and give me the kind of fear that I don’t want. But when the next horror movie comes out, I go watching it.
Each brings a freshness to these characters. Even though we’ve seen the same types of characters before, these actors makes them feel interesting and unique. “The Notebook” is a gentle romantic tale in the midst of blockbuster action films and goofball comedies. It could be argued that releasing it in mid-June is counter-programming at its best, giving adults who don’t want their senses assailed by CGI special effects a real choice at the box office. But you have to wonder if “The Notebook” would have stood a better chance of finding the right audience had it been released later in the year, when moviegoers are really ready for more intense storytelling, than during the crowded summer months.
Since the last essay I have found more things to enjoy about the films that are beneficial to my video practice. I found the Experimental Feature day particularly exciting. I have always been a Kenneth Anger fan so that may have woken me up a little bit. I have seen Cocteau’s Blood of a Poet in a few different contexts now and for some reason, this time around, I was particularly struck by the film. Every time I have seen this movie I have considered it to be cheesy.
He noticed our grades got better tremendously since the videos. I sometimes feel that I am there while watching movies or documentaries about our history. I feel these different forms of visual entertainment have shaped American culture and its values. The influence of these movies and TV shows how examined a certain way for people who watch them to act differently. For example, Marilyn Monroe was a celebrity in the past who was admired by many men and women.
