Gattaca was the best in terms of entertainment. It always kept me thinking about what is going to happen next. It had many twist in the plot that surprised me. The technology that was shown in the movie was very interesting to. Also, I enjoyed the entertainment from the character in the movie, Eugene, who a handicap that was virtually perfect.
I'm much more of a "genre" fan, and I much prefer fantasy, surrealism and absurdism to realism. My preconceptions were throwing me off of the film initially. The realist drama stuff seemed to drag on, and it made much of the film a hard sell. I loved the touches of weirdness, but they were too little, too far between--at least until I reached my personal interpretation of the film around the halfway mark. The film is also odd in that it's so retro.
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.
Monster is a fantastic film. It may be a tad depressing, but the characters and story are definitely worth the watch. And if that’s not enough there are at least two Journey songs on the
Most films have an underlying purpose and unified around a central theme. There are also other films that have not central purpose or meaning, all because of the ineffectiveness of the filmmaker’s communication language. We have all seen films with great actors and bad scripts. Sometimes directors do not arrive a mature style but continue and experiment throughout
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.
“The World’s Fastest Indian” (2005) is an insightful movie directed by the world renowned director, Roger Donaldson. A character I enjoyed in this film was Burt Munro. I enjoyed this character because of his high, uplifting spirit of determinat ion. Burt Munro is important because he reveals the ideas of ‘Manawanui (Perseverance),’ ‘Realising Your Dreams’ and ‘Overcoming Obstacles.’ These ideas are seen through the film techniques: dialogue, lighting and types of camera shots and angles. Burt Munro is a character I enjoyed because of his total dedication and wholeheartedness towards his dreams, living a day at a time.
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.
Man Ray is one of my favorite filmmakers from the surrealist era. Usually I’m attracted to the implied violence of his work. This movie however did not seem to allude to violence like his other films do. This film was seductive in a more sedative way. A lot of the film was shot in a dreamy way almost as if the viewer was looking through water.
