300 Final Film Review 300 is by far the best comic book based movie I have evened seen But what really makes this movie stand out from all of the other movies is the amazing cinematography that this movie has. Larry Fong has proven that a brilliant Director of Photography can turn any boring tale into something great and interesting. Now, the tale isn’t boring. Not by a long shot. But we’ve seen and heard the same tale a lot before.
Spike Lee is one of those directors that uses the same actors in most of his movies, so this one was no different. I want name all of the characters and all the movies but know that the faces seen in this movie where also faces in other great movies. I could not find something in this movie that would have been borrowed from another movie. Do The Right Thing is in a class of its
These are a few of the reasons why “Star Wars” was the most successful and influential films of its time, even though this film was shown in a few cinemas in 1977. “Star Wars” mise en scene, displayed this information right in the opening scene. The director, George Lucas used a scroll text that is known as the roll-up or the crawl. Lucas was inspired by the 1934 series of “Flash Gordon” which used the crawl technique. This technique is time consuming and many directors during this time didn’t want to add this technique in the film.
The Crucible: The Book or The Movie? When asked the question in which format, the book or the movie, do you as the student get more out of? I personally was able to appreciate the concepts of this story better in the movie than in the book. Its not just the fact that I am a bit more of a visual learner but the simple fact the movie was fantastic because of its wonderful portrayal of the characters and the cohesiveness between the movie and the book. The actors in this movie make an all star cast of Hollywood’s most heralded and respected people.
Daddy-O and Because They're Young brought his original music to the big theatres, but he was soon typecast doing comedies. His efforts in the genre helped guarantee his work on William Wyler's How to Steal a Million, however, a major picture that immediately led to larger projects. Of course, his arrangements continued to get him a lot of attention and he won his first Oscar for adapting Fiddler on the Roof. During the 1970s, John Williams was King of Disaster Scores with The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake and The Towering Inferno. His psychological score for Images remains one of the most innovative works in soundtrack history.
I’m a fan of really good movies. I think Lincoln (starring Daniel Day Lewis in the title role), is a very, very good movie. The movie industry is sometimes starved for good acting, for great dialogue, and scenes that make the viewer really listen to the words, especially historic words. Spielberg’s Lincoln is not a biopic; it is not about the 16th President’s entire life. Instead, it is about the last few months of Lincoln’s life, the beginning of his second term, and the steps he (and other Republicans in the House of Representatives) went through to attempt to get the 13th Amendment of the Constitution passed.
The resolution comes when he admits everything about himself in the confession booth and begins being honest with everyone around him. In the book “A Million Miles In A Thousand Years” Donald Miller does not know why the movie directors find his story to be noteworthy enough to be made into a movie. In my opinion, his story is extremely noteworthy because it is relatable. Although the producers took liberties such as his mother becoming pregnant by his priest and other pieces of the film to make it more entertaining to watch, there were no climactic fight scenes, or explosions, or tragedies like in most successful movies. Instead, it stayed rather true to Donald Miller’s real life yet still is able to keep the audience intrigued due to its relevancy in many daily lives.
- Period Settings Tied to Anderson’s nostalgia, the period backdrops of all his films are significant enough that they demand individual attention. In perhaps the ultimate display of his personal devotion to nostalgia, Anderson’s films all take place in eras that occur prior to the present. Or at least they all seem to; films like Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, and The Royal Tenenbaums are practically modern compared to his latter day efforts. But even when he doesn’t directly acknowledge the time period (as with Moonrise Kingdom and The Grand Budapest Hotel, for example), there’s a sheen of antiquity to all of his films. Try imagining a Wes Anderson movie set in 2014; it’s pretty hard to picture.
Although no one believed he could because he suffered from bad eye sight and minor dyslexia, he became one of the most brilliant men of his time. In 1873 at the mere age of 16, Wilson enrolled at Davidson College in Charlotte, North Carolina. There he seemed to excel greatly in logic, public speaking, and foreign languages such as Latin. All was going well until in 1874 he was forced to drop out due to bad health for unknown reasons, although some like to argue it was homesickness. But soon enough he enrolled at Princeton University, one year later.
The Post Master General was in charge of keeping the movies wholesome as to enforce good morals with the young people that would go to see the movies. Americans fell in love with movies as they were becoming wrapped in these fantasies that the movies could create. Despite all the new mass culture in America, cultural diversity still survived. As Herbert Hoover was elected in 1928, he looked to be a good fit to keep the nation on the right track. Hoover had made his fortunes abroad in the mining business in China and Australia as a mining engineer.
