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.
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.
I personally thought the film “The Secret Garden” was great although they could have made it a little more exciting and less boring. A beautiful scene in the film was when Colin Craven the weak little boy actually started to walk with the help of new friends. I would recommend this film to people of all ages and people who like adventure. “Ice Age” is a very funny movie but the opposite to the film the “Secret Garden” because the Secret Garden is about adventure although it does have something in common like
The film writers, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, supposedly based this film loosely on their personal experiences during their own awkward teenage years. Though I’m not sure how true this actually is, the film is excellently written. There is sensitivity in superbad that other teen movies such as American Pie don’t achieve, this gives the film heart. This is also the main reason that Superbad works so well, it gets away with being immature and crude by using well-written and well-acted parts to create a sense of vulnerability and loveable geeky awkwardness in the three main characters, who constantly attempt to appear cool and confident, particularly around their high school crushes, desperately fabricating stories, with hilarious
However unconventional and strange the movie seems at first, it was a wonderful and engaging film to watch. Although the movie is about crime and mafias, it does not focus so much on violence that the essential themes and characters get lost along the way. In fact, one of the central themes the film is family. The theme is displayed in the movie through mainly, lighting and setting. The film starts off at the scene of a wedding, which sets the stage for the central theme of the movie, which is family.
This is then all thrown out of the window if my spouse is pleading with me to watch something else. There are many things that make a film enjoyable. I am pretty easy when it comes to finding the good in most movies. I can love a movie just because it has that one scene or that one character that makes me laugh. I think that anything from a good plot to a great chemistry on camera makes a movie enjoyable to me.
The Culture Industry and A Walk to Remember Adam Shankman’s A Walk to Remember has proved to be a favorite of audiences across the country. The movie’s legitimacy as something artistic, however, is bound to be questioned by some. As a part of the film industry, A Walk to Remember provides good means to explore the true motives of the culture industry using the opposing views of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer and Gerald Graff. Theorists Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer would see this movie as nothing more than a new spin on the same old story. Gerald Graff, on the other hand, would commend A Walk to Remember as an art form that gives rise to many debates and arguments about the movie and that gives viewers a chance to prove their intellectualism outside of the academic realm.
FIGHT CLUB 2 Fight Club Analysis I chose to write about Fight Club for my analysis because it is one of my favorite movies of all time and I think rightfully so, as it is a deep and socially relevant film. It is based on the book of the same name by the author Chris Palahniuk and directed by David Fincher, also the director of such films as Se7en, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and more recently The Social Network. Reading Rogert Ebert's review of the film I got the impression that he thought the film was a shallow and vulgar simply to be vulgar. He thinks that the film was made for teenage boys wanting to watch people beat each other up, with no redeeming qualities besides the quality of the direction. Quoting the review, he claims, “It's macho porn -- the sex movie Hollywood has been moving toward for years, in which eroticism between the sexes is replaced by all-guy locker-room fights.” and “Certainly they'll buy tickets because they can see Pitt and Norton pounding on each other; a lot more people will leave this movie and get in fights than will leave it discussing Tyler Durden's moral philosophy.”.
To solve this problem the developers usually release two versions of the same movie. A rated one for more mature and young audiences and an unrated one, which usually consists of vulgarity every few seconds. ! The consequences of censorship can be devastating to some people but not all. Some negatives of this are that it works against creativity, and it may intrude the privacy of some people.
This is done for several reasons which include the idea that an addition to the movie may enhance the story. *The book has more information about the story while movies are shortened and with less information. Also, for what the producer and director believe will enhance the entertainment aspect of the film, they made add information that was not at all seen in the book. So people should read the books before they watch the movie. The other aspect of the book vs the movie is the instant ability to re-read passages that at first the reader did not totally grasp.
