Although both Preston Sturges and Frank Capra use imagery and comedy to deliver messages in their respective movies, Capra’s ability to express his ideas in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington regarding perseverance conveys a much more poignant message, despite Sturges’ more recognizable views about smiling through the pain in his movie, Sullivan’s Travels. The comedic elements of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Sullivan’s Travels add to the theme of each movie, subtly giving away major plot points. Both movies draw the audience in with the use of farce, such as when Sturges has Sullivan and his companion pushing each
Hamlet Movie Comparison From the two versions of Hamlet that we watched, Mel Gibson/Glenn Close and Kenneth Branagh; despite the fact they have the same plot but there are few differences between the both versions. Hamlet acting is really different in both versions of the movie. In Kenneth Branagh version we see the movie is done with strong emotions but Hamlet overacts in most of the scenes. We also see that Hamlet is not a calm thinker by watching how Hamlet amplifies his manners throughout the movie. 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.
Acting is impeccable to this type of movie. The way Dustin Hoffman plays Raymond in the movie is absolutely great. To make a movie about a mental disorder is one thing, but to make a movie about a mental disorder along with having an actual character in the movie with a mental disability played by an actor without an actual disability is another thing. The way Hoffman played this part was perfect in the sense that he did not overdo his acting, yet he also did not under do the job he was given. There is a fine line between making fun of or mocking an individual with a mental disability and actually truthfully acting out how someone is with a real disability.
If the movie had more detail it would be more interesting. The book gave me a better picture. When I saw the movie it confused me because it didn’t have all the parts. If I just saw the movie I wouldn’t understand why Greasers and Socs were separated and why they hated each other. I think Cherry did a really good job; she fit the description really well I think.
It seems normal that The Odyssey would have one but O Brother, Where Art Thou? Both Cyclopes each wanted one thing from each character. In the movie he wanted money, but in the book he wanted something a bit more valuable, his life. Within the movie and book there was a wooden object used as a weapon. Both stories the Cyclops fooled our main character into doing something.
And so, the actor becomes a catalyst; he or she brings ignition that spark in every human being that longs for the miracle of transformation”. The contribution is so important, because the audience relates to the human ingredient. I enjoyed watching the main character played by Halle Berry pull the audience in from scene one by her true attitudes and emotions of this drama genre. Halle Berry, became the character, she made me believe
Willy Wonka showed many vices and I saw that Willy Wonka is actually symbolic of God. Ben-Hur always kept me entertained, which was also tied into the story of Jesus. In Life is Beautiful Guido makes me laugh the entire movie but the movie takes
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
Were there’s were in first rate condition. Furthermore how I mentioned early how Mickey would slouch casting the effect of an unmannered man and maybe not as well cared for. Whilst on the other hand Edward stood always erect giving a positive and confident effect. In addition throughout the play the lighting change repeatedly as when it shone on the Johnston’s house it gave a gloomy look, but when it shone on the Lyons house it gave a warming look. I obviously believe this was done intentionally, but with a second purpose.
The very same type of ending was seen when Holden recalled the movie he watched about the Englishman who had lost his memory and his response to it. He describes the movie as, “don’t see it if you don’t want to puke all over yourself” (138). His response to the movie most likely would have been because of how Holden had believed that Allie was somehow going to get through a terrible situation, which was clearly explained in the movie that Holden watched, but since Allie did
