Another similarity is that some of the dialogue is in letter form like the book. The movie has a regular script like any other movie, but when Celie speaks in the background there are addressed as "Dear God". Differences are harder to find than similar actions and obstacles. The writing of the letters in the film were a little different than in the novel. Celie always wrote to god and received letter from Nettie, but she never wrote back to Nettie.
Other ways that the story was conveyed was through a combination of McCandless’s letters and diaries, guesswork, and investigation that was conducted. In the movie, however, it seemed as though only Christopher’s sister was telling the story. She was always talking about how he failed in contacting her but she reassured us that she was “strong” enough to handle it. I wish that they had other people talk besides her, because the mixture of formats was about the best thing in the story. One scene in the novel has always stuck with me more than the rest.
The reason she took pictures of herself was because of her “Cindy Book” she had, which was all family snapshots where she would circle herself in the photograph. In the episode it showed that she has been slowly taking herself out of the pictures and shooting complete still life. To me Cindy seemed a little too into herself and it was kind of weird that she only took photographs of herself dressed up in different ways. Lastly in the episode was Paul McCarthy. He was into film and sculpting.
The main part of the lecture that surprised me was his skectches for the movie wall-E, he showed us a whole profolio for Wall-E and the actual work he had done in the movie and how so many drawings took place in the movie for just a couple of seconds. visually seeing his art work come alive was amazing. It shows us students how a small art design/ illustration can take you
The writer chooses film because through learning literature, especially drama, students get description about life, attitude, behavior and personality by giving life imitation and it will enable us to get something which is similar to our real life. By watching a film, we can understand it easily. We can watch directly the action and not only imagine them such as when we read short story or novel. In films, we can discuss many things such as themes, settings, plots, and also characters. The characters in films are an interesting element to discuss about, moreover if the characters have attractive
These things have always been known to me, but I’ve grown to look at films in a variety of different ways after attending this film studies class. When evaluating a film, I now look at a film’s cinematography, the way sound is used and the director’s approach to the film. Cinematography plays a very important piece in a how a film comes across to its intended audience. The director can choose to use close up shots to further deepen the audience’s understanding of what the character is feeling at a defining moment. Wide angle shots can be used to show as much of the film’s action during an all important car chase at the pinnacle moment of the film.
The story of the 37 year old fisherman stuck at sea has striking similarities to the popular book and movie, The Life Of Pi. Alvarenga originally set off towards northern Mexico in December 2012 on what he expected to be a short shark fishing trip. When a part of his boat became altered and broken, he drifted until he reached a beach 13 months later. Similarly, in The Life Of Pi, Piscine Motor Patel was on a journey with his immediate family to Canda from India when the ship carrying them and their cargo (animals from the zoo they were selling) had a breach and started to sink. Pi was saved from the ship, but continued to drift further out into the ocean.
Because Wintour is the head leader of the magazine, Coddington has to endure a lot rejecting of her own ideas because Anna Wintour says so. In the movie, Coddington is also shown as the victim to Wintour’s aggressive personality. At the end of the movie, their relationship takes another turn. Even though they have a lot of differences and various opinions, they still respect each other. Wintour recognizes Coddington’s expertise and eye for design, and also approves most of her ideas as they appear in the final version of the September
The characters in Iron Jawed Angels endured a lot of turmoil—gender violence, violence against women, and generally unfair treatment because of standing up for something that they truly believed in. After almost two weeks in my women’s studies course, I can now relate some of the issues from the film to some of the topics that we discuss in class and also the book that we are reading, Half the Sky. The first feature that stands out to me when I think back on watching Iron Jawed Angels is the music. Even though this does not coincide with the class, I still believe that it is an important factor to cover because of what it added to the film. I come from a musical background, so the music spoke to me in a way that made me want to engage even more into the film.
By March 1977, the pain had intensified and he finally went to a hospital, where he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of cancer that often starts near the knees.Terry Fox believed his car accident weakened his knee and left it vulnerable to the disease, though his doctors argued there was no connection. He was told that his leg had to be amputated.With the help of an artificial leg Terry Fox was walking in three weeks after the amputation. The Marathon of Hope began on April 12, 1980, when Fox dipped his right leg in the Atlantic Ocean near St. John's, Newfoundland, and filled two large bottles with ocean water. He intended to keep one as a memory and pour the other into the Pacific Ocean upon completing his journey at
