Hoot Movie Analysis

Decent Essays
Hoot, directed by Wil Shriner, is an exciting kid-friendly movie that is certainly not boring and is also funny, entertaining, and an all around great movie.
Roy Eberhardt moves to Florida from Montana. He then becomes really good friends with Bea and Mullet Fingers. They discover baby owls that are living in the ground at a nearby construction site. There is only one problem; there is a new pancake house being built at the same place. In the end, together they save the owls although it causes a few problems.
This movie is somewhat believable, although when Mullet Fingers leaves the hospital without the nurse knowing isn’t very realistic. Roy getting picked on at his new school is very believable because that usually happens when you go to a new school. For the most part, the rest of the movie seems very real, at least while you’re watching it, and could probably happen in real life although it probably wouldn’t.

You might think you know what is going to happen next, and something completely different might happen. That is what makes the movie so great. It keeps you on your toes, wondering what is going to happen next, and is not the least bit boring.
The setting they chose for Hoot was perfect. Florida, where it is warm almost the whole year, allowed Mullet Fingers to also be called “the barefoot kid.” The sunny atmosphere brightens up the scenes and makes the movie seem more entertaining. Choosing Coconut Cove, Florida also allows there to be the beach and somewhat tropical area where Mullet Fingers lives, and entertains

    This is a special movie. It doesn't fit the normal "feel-good" drama genre though. This is one of those movies that pulls you in, let's you physically and mentally associate with the characters, fills you with hope, beats you over and over again, drains your emotional resources, and when the closing credits appear, feel something long after the end credits are done rolling. In a word - "mesmerizing".…

    Shaft: Movie Analysis

    It is morning. The film begins with an extreme long shot that showcases not only the chaotic scenery of New York City, but the man in which this city encapsulates, John Shaft (Richard Roundtree). Despite its opening sequence, Shaft (Parks, 1971) utilizes a multitude of close up shots to convey the dominance of John Shaft to the city, but more importantly the dominance of the black male to its community. Gordon Parks utilized close ups specifically when John Shaft contrasted others in conversations. In one specific scene, Shaft was not only in the foreground of the shot, but when speaking to his white boss the camera framed him in a medium close up with his boss in similar focal clarity in the background.…

    Goldie Hawn Film Analysis

    1.0 Aim Goldie Hawn is an American comedienne that was awarded an Oscar for ‘Best Actress in a Supporting Role’ for the film, Cactus Flower (1969), and was later nominated for ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’ for the film, Private Benjamin (1980). Her blonde hair, ‘large, expensive, slightly scary eyes, and her wide, mobile mouth’ constructed the youthful ‘Goldie-ness’ persona which embodies girlishness, giggly, fun, comical, vulnerable, naiveté, and kookiness which modernised blonde-stereotypes in Hollywood cinema (Swinnen, 2000, p.95-101). This persona was first constructed during her appearances on Rowan Martin’s television series, Laugh-In (1968-1970), but it was only popularised in 1980 motion picture — Private Benjamin (1980). Most…

    Vietnam War films explore a wide range of aspects. Films such as Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket focus primarily on the military and warfare aspects of the Vietnam conflict. The Deer Hunter, directed by Michael Cimino, concerns conventional domestic life in the United States during the war, and the impact serving in the war had on men who returned to conventional life after enduring extraordinary horrors. The film has become a critical and commercial success, celebrated for its, “tender – and even optimistic – depiction of the human capacity to endure,” (“After 36 years, The Deer Hunter remains one of the most fascinating films on Vietnam”). It even managed to win five of the nine Oscars it was nominated for, including Best Picture and Best Director, which really put Cimino in the limelight.…

    Gattaca Movie Analysis

    The story is the predictably simple one of an in-valid Vincent (Hawke) bucking the system to fulfil his romantic dream of space travel. Gattaca (pronounced gat-a-ka), is the name of the corporation that can put him on a rocket to Titan, Saturn's 14th moon. The twist: in order to escape the system Vincent must first fool it by posing as Jerome (Law), genetically perfect but crippled by an accident, so now bitter and willing to sell his bodily fluid, and tissue samples to allow Vincent to pass the constant ID tests required to work at Gattaca. Vincent has already tried conventional means of working his way to the top at Gattaca, but in his case a janitor's job is the limit. That is because Vincent came into the world in what is now the conventional manner but could, in an age of genetic engineering, become obsolete.…

    The movie trilogy of The Hobbit grossed almost three billion dollars, while the novel sold about 100 million copies (Mendelson and Walker).
