Movie Night: Qualities that make a movie great
As I watched the T.V. I saw a preview of a brand new movie that was being released. When I watched it I thought to myself, “It looks like such an amazing movie.” Then I wondered what was it that made a movie so great, but then I came up with these three ideas.
In order to appeal to many people, great movies should have fun and loyal characters. The movie Grown Ups shows that because it is about five guys that have been best friends since their youth. The main character Lenny is played by Adam Sandler and some other people like Chris Rock, David Spade, Kevin James, and Rob Schneider also have roles in the movie, and who doesn't think any of those guys are funny. One example is when they take

The movie The Fast and The Furious shows a group of family-friends that race cars and steal things. The group has been together for a couple of years, and no matter what is going on they always stick together. The moral this movie portrays is to never turn your back on family, and that comes from the bond that can't be broken between them. The audience likes to see that type of lesson because maybe they are having family troubles of their own, so seeing that may encourage them to fix it. Additionally, in the movie Lone Survivor, these four friends in the military go on a mission together to scout an enemy territory. While they are scouting, it they are spotted and are now outgunned and outmanned, but that doesn't stop them from fighting back to get back home. Throughout this movie the four men never give up against their enemy, and they stay and fight for days, so it demonstrates that one should never give up on something even if it is difficult. Another movie that has a moral lesson is The Blind Side. In the movie The Blind Side a guy named Michael is found picking up food after a basketball game, and walking home in the rain. The family that sees him doing this decides to bring them into their family. This movie demonstrates that doing something good can go a long way because after they let him into their home, he started to do better in school, and he became a football star. A movie should be

    Rent: Movie Analysis

    Regarding the methodology, I chose this film to analyze because there is something deeper than just the surface problems of the characters. I first watched the movie when I was about 10-11 years old with my older brother, but I never really understood the significance behind it, until I was about 17. After that, I watched the film and listened to the soundtrack so many times that I did not need to take any notes on it, when it came to watching the film for the purpose of this essay. The 2005 film Rent, directed by Chris Columbus, is based on Jonathan Larson’s Broadway musical of the same name.…

    After two escapes from highly guarded prisons, various bank robberies, and several high-speed shooting sprees, John Dillinger met his end in our very own Lincoln Park, bringing great satisfaction to the FBI. The movie Public Enemies focuses on the creation of the modern Federal Bureau of Intelligence and the search for the infamous Chicago gangster as he travels from Indiana to Chicago throughout 1933, trying to dodge his inevitable fate. Most of the United States was deep into the Great Depression at this point, but Dillinger and his men lived rather lavishly throughout this movie. Organized crime was rampant, and criminals knew they needed to have each other’s backs in order to escape the advances of the FBI. As Johnny Depp and Christian…

    The Debut Film Analysis

    The Debut (2000) was a film presenting the positive aspects of the Filipino culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face. This film is one of the first films I’ve viewed which portrays an Asian culture as what it truly is. Unlike many other films and scenes in Hollywood cinema, this film did not use negative stereotypes or derogatory topics as its main base. Director Gene Cajayon is from the Filipino agency and grew up in its heritage; this reflects on the films true use of Tagalog, traditions, relationships, and cultural values. What was particularly enjoyable was the scenes of dancing and singing that are accurate presentations of the Tinikling dance with string instruments.…

    The Joy of Stats Nishant Sinha Kennesaw Mountain High School The Joy of Stats One statistical trend I could identify from Dan Hillman’s film The Joy of Stats was the growing difference in the quality of life between eastern and western countries for a span of about 138 years, beginning in 1810. The primary cause of this trend was the industrialization of western countries such as England and the United States, leading to higher life expectancy and greater income (Mayr, 2017). Following the growth of the quality of life gap, a contradictory trend began in 1948 when the practice of colonialism ended. Since then the quality of life gap between eastern and western countries has been decreasing due to the increased export of valuable resources such as oil from developing countries (Hillman, director, 2010).…

    This movie reflects real life in multiple ways. I think one of the biggest lessons that someone could pull from this movie is that there is a price that everyone must pay. The Warden paid the price for his crimes when he knew he had an innocent man in jail just for him to use Andy for his accounting skills. The Warden ended up committing suicide and I feel that was the ultimate penitence that the Warden had to pay in order for his crimes to be forgiven.…

    The Dark Night trilogy set the gold standard for the characters Batman, and the Joker. Every casual movie goer or critic would tell you that the most recent portrayal of each of these characters isn’t as good as the Dark Night Trilogy characters. With the flop of Man of Steel, and Batman vs. Super Man, Warner Brothers, the company making DC films, wanted to take a lot of control away from directors, and unfortunately the first movie to take such directions was 2016’s “Suicide Squad” by David Ayer, produced by Warner Brothers Studios. This movie was ultimately a letdown to many people including myself, but it doesn’t take away from the movie still being good.…
