Jamal’s writing became amazingly good and William was able to see himself as an actual person rather then just an author. This effected him so much he not only went to Scotland, but left Jamal everything he owned, including his writing, the most precious thing to him. “Finding Forrester” did all of this realistically, without making the story hard to understand. Overall this is a very good movie that will leave you in wonder at the extent of a young boys talent, and at the same time have you guessing at the true feelings of William Forrester. I rate this movie an 8.5/10 for its clean plot flow, in depth characters, engaging story, and lack of clichés.
Josh Lucas did an outstanding job as coach Don Haskins. In moies.ign.com movie review, Jeff Otto writes, “The movie […] was well-acted. The acting is commendable. Josh Lucas excels in the sparse dialog, creating a physical presence that makes his character seem like living granted at times. Emily Deschanel has few scenes and lines, but she still creates a beautiful character for the coach’s wife.
For example I recently saw the phenomenal film Their Eyes Were Watching God. Halle Berry stars in this version of Zora Neale Hurston's novel, adapted for television and produced by Oprah Winfrey. The story centers on Janie Crawford (Berry), a free-spirited woman who lives her life on her own terms. Refusing to accept her place as a black woman in the 1920s, Janie lives life to its fullest and experiences a journey filled with great joy and unbearable heartache. I enjoyed the casting choices because the actors and scenery joined to convey a part of the movies theme.
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.
She showed nobility when she kissed the woman’s baby to make her happy and disregarded Redival’s negative criticism. She showed nobility when she stopped at no cost to nurse the Fox back to health. She showed nobility when she discussed the plan to free the Fox with Orual. Psyche rarely showed anger and she always tried to help others throughout the novel. She always loved and respected people for their inner beauty like the Fox and especially Orual, whereas others would judge them by their physical appearance.
I also liked that they danced and sung while performing such ordinary tasks they chopping wood. Millie is my favorite character. She is such a young vibrant woman, she teachers her brother-in-laws how to be civilized and meet a woman to make their wife. I found the humor to be just right
The acting in this movie was brilliant, and the three main heroes of this story are Ponyboy played by Thomas Howell, Johnny played by Ralph Macchio, and Dally played by Matt Dillon. Ponyboy’s role in The Outsiders was great and the film portrayed his character very well. For example, in the fountain scene, his emotions and body language expressed a lot of worry, and it was very believable. Thomas Howell also did very well in the scene where Darry hits Pony, and he runs away. This scene was especially realistic, again
For example he was stuck in a different reality and he knew what to do and never panicked, and eventually got out because of his smarts. Crash was the best movie because the writing could be related to life very easily for certain types of people. The acting in the movie was also incredible. The class most likely agrees with me because of how real the acting was. The movie was nominated for many awards proving how great it was.
Cleopatra VII used her charm, wisdom and sexuality to rule and increase her kingdom through the help of men who were medley in love with her. She had a power over men which she used to her own advantage ,,It was a pleasure merely to hear the sound of her voice, with which, like an instrument of many things, she could pass from one language to another,,. (What kind of women p.5). Sources have the same opinion to the fact that Cleopatra’s charm was outstanding and her presence astonishing. (bibliography p3) She also knew how to look her best and even wrote a book about cosmetics.
Kate Maberly played her role as Mary Lennox excellently; you could actually feel her depression or her happiness. Heydon Powse played his role as Colin Craven great though he could have improved slightly on making the scenes look more realistic. Dame Maggie Smith played her role as Mrs.Medlock and she was an exquisite actress she has acted many films before and she was great. The Cinema Photographer took a lot of great camera shots and angles and actually creates a good or bad atmosphere/mood depending on the scene. I personally thought the film “The Secret Garden” was great although they could have made it a little more exciting and less boring.
