The animation movie is literally identical to the comic book, whether it’s the plot, art, or dialogue, everything is taken right out of the comic making the tiniest of changes. Despite this I found the comic much more effective than the animated smovie in many aspects. Although they both used the same art, for some weird reason I found the book to be more entertaining (not as expected). I guess it might just be that the art was more suited for the flow of the book (after all that was the artist’s initial intention). On the other hand the fighting/action scenes seemed to shine in the movie version probably due to the quick movements and also the addition of music was a positive for the
Although Disney is successful at doing that, it fails in showing the hidden aspects of the story, the aspects of the novel that need to be dug into to comprehend. This is most likely because it was aimed a younger audience, and it is more difficult to show these deeper thoughts visually on the screen. The symbolism that is used helps to create a deeper understanding of the true meaning of the story. When just watching or reading the story one may think that from the looks of it, the story about Alice falling through a rabbit-hole and finding herself in a silly and nonsense world is fairly guileless as a tale. The underlying story, the one about a girl maturing away from home in what seems to be a world ruled by chaos and nonsense, is quite a frightening one.
Matthew Krieg 3/5/15 Practical Aesthetics Professor Jackson Toy Story TOY STORY (1995)’s most obvious aesthetic is its revolutionary new animation style, for the time. Prior to the film, animated films had to been limited hand rendered animations that appeared two dimensional to the audiences, or to Claymation, which has a completely different look in general . However, the animation style with TOY STORY appeared completely three dimensional and was able to interact with realistic set lighting. Although this animation technology lacked the ability to produce rich textures on the models, this actually added to the film for the most part, since it produced very “plastic” looking models; perfect for modeling toys. The only time the animation looks out dated is when humans or dogs are shown in the film.
Marketing and Advertising So much to say, yet so little at all. This film is a surprise, as it should be. The title, in and of itself, causes attention and has a hint of being for a specific group of people. “Baadasssss!” (originally "How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your Ass") stems from the son of Melvin Van Peebles, Mario on the complications of making a controversial film that needed to be made. All meta-ness aside (which could be an entire essay on this year’s syllabus), “Baadasssss!” is a well made film.
Burton also uses color to show the differences in the two settings. Edward’s castle setting is black and white representing non-conformity while the pastel, uniform homes with neat yards represent the conforming community. Burton ironically suggests the gothic castle is the better place to be. Other notable settings using color are the white dress Kim wears during the ice dance symbolizing innocence and purity and Kim’s room is decorated with bright yellow tones, which adds a happy and carefree feeling to her character. Minall page 2A A childhood favorite, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, also has a similar setting.
Also, Andy has a secret agenda to see if he can put a spark in his mom’s romantic life by possibly crossing paths with an old flame of hers. Going into this movie, I didn’t have very high expectations which probably explains why I was pleasantly surprised. The Guilt Trip is far from a cinematic masterpiece but it has its tender moments that most anybody can relate to. My favorite aspect of this movies is how it didn’t shy away from the moments of sadness or regret. It’s easy for actors to stage pratfalls and speak profanity.
Some situations that the show brings might not happen in our lives, but it is good to have a better understanding of the situation than not to know. Most televisions shows are not about violence and drama. Cartoons shows like; Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park and many more inform their viewers in ways that might seem unusual and might only seem as entertainment than educational. In the article “Family Guy and Freud, Jokes and their relation to the Unconscious”. Antonia Peacocke explains that every show has some education
The humour is also really important throughout the film because it highlights the seriousness and breaks the film down into a less dramatic movie. Another technique used are the props, in this film the main prop is the remote control which refers back to the title and it gives an effect of magic and
Brandon FLOGGNAW 4/28/14 Period 1 ENG 9 R+J Movie Compare/Contrast Pros and Cons The two Romeo and Juliet movies were very unique and creative. The two movies were very different but still stayed true to the original play. The two movies barely changed to much in the movie, but they did still add a few things here and there. The two movies were very good, they were both very good adaptions of the original play. Even though the movies were very good adaptions, the movies did changes some things whether it was text or scenery.
However, American Graffiti is a soft, romantic coming of age film. It is more like a classical, nostalgic look to the teenagers of 60s.George Lucas wanted to make this film look kind of like a documentary so it reflects the exact culture of 1962, of America. Even the Wolfman Jack character, who is really popular among teenagers with his radio programme, was a real character in the 60s. These are the most important reasons why this movie doesn’t have those new elements. American Graffiti was shot in 1973, however the film tells a story that takes place in 1962, which shows us that it is a telescoping film.
