This scene takes place about an hour into the film. The director’s intention with this scene was to show the second task Ofelia had to complete and to set up the conflict between Ofelia and the underworld. This film was made in 2006, where special effects were high tech and very realistic. This is reflected in the film and how heavily it relies on fantasy effects such as fairies and the Pale Man. It is highly regarded for its fantastic special affects use, winning an Academy Award for “Best Achievement in Makeup” among others.
This movie shows true patriotism, and Americanism. The whole crew fought through many rigorous battles as it was amazing how they survived. The American values in this movie are seen nearly every ten minutes. In the beginning where Private Ryan is honoring Captain Miller, or when Captain Miller honors the mission to save Private Ryan, or even when they let German Soldier free (though against most of their morals at that time, it was the right thing to do). This brilliant move that was nominated for eleven academy awards and won five of them, is the perfect movie for an American, a true war connoisseur, or a This movie especially fits into the realism view.
A Classic on the River Kwai The Bridge on the River Kwai is a landmark film from director David Lean. It presents a timeless message about human nature and pride that cements itself in the halls of film history. Excellent direction is complimented by wonderful performances by Alec Guinness as Colonel Nicholson, William Holden as Major Shears, and Sessue Hayakawa as Colonel Saito. The Bridge on the River Kwai is undeniably a classic. From expert casting to give us actors who blend seamlessly to their role to masterful editing techniques that have come to define this type of storytelling, this film was destined to be one of the greatest films of all time.
THE MARLON BRANDO QUOTE BELOW IS TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA's PAGE ON ELIA KAZAN: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elia_Kazan Marlon Brando, in his autobiography, goes into detail about the influence Kazan had on his acting: I have worked with many movie directors – some good, some fair, some terrible. Kazan was the best actors' director by far of any I've worked for... the only one who ever really stimulated me, got into a part with me and virtually acted it with me... he chose good
The characters are developed to the point that they still exist in the world of melodrama but are wholly believable, which lends itself perfectly to the fantastical elements of the film and helps bring those elements down to earth to make them seem a natural part of the proceedings. Caro's screenplay (based on a novel by Witi Ihimaera) tells a specific and simple story and—like all the best storytellers—brings out the universal human themes in its fiber. The film's prologue introduces us to a Maori family. Tradition tells of Paikea, who arrived in New Zealand on the back of a whale over a thousand years ago, and the Maori are his descendents. The first-born son of the chief in each generation is the successor to leadership.
The film’s acting, storytelling, sound, editing, cinematography, and all other critical analysis is superb and makes for an extraordinarily good movie. Therefore, I will be explaining how all of these filmmaking components works together to make one of the greatest movies of all time. I will explain the message of freedom and hope that was transported through the storyline. This movie has made Andy’s escape extremely intriguing because the technique they used made his escape surprising, because his new best friend thinks he is going to kill himself and if that is what Red believes, that is what the audience is meant to believe as well. However, throughout this story we understand that we truly care about these characters even though they are convicts.
Once he gets lost at sea, he finds real meaning of life and discovers himself during his long journey. He realizes that he has never REALLY loved, and he has never REALLY faced challenges, has never known about people with no money and people who are sick and can’t get medical help, or people living in poverty. I liked the fairy tale ending when he finally gets picked up by Abilene's daughter, even though it is more like a movie ending --- they lived happily ever after. 20080929_Book_Report_Edward_Tulane.doc Page 3 The story is about loving and spreading
Raiders and the Golden Idol Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the greatest works of cinematography in the past forty years. The greatness came from the cinematographer’s experience and collaboration with the movie’s director. The results of their work created one of the best adventure movies of all time. An early scene of the movie in which Indiana Jones tries to retrieve a golden idol is a cinematography masterpiece. George Lucas put together an all-start team of staff to produce Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In the movie “Forest Gump” we saw the Vietnamese War, the generation of hippies, addiction to drugs, and other not less important things. In the second half of the century people already have money and material things, but have an empty space in their life, heart, and soul, as it was shown in “The Best Girlfriend You Ever Had”. In the story “A City of Churches” by Donald Bathelme, everyone but the main hero, called Cecelia, belongs to one or another church. In the story “Death of a Favorite”
The mise-en-scène greatly affected my perception of this movie in a positive way. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. The acting in this movie is extremely incredible. Bruce Willis who’s character was Lieutenant A.K.
