When Sebastian read my review and responded, the connection between us was forever cemented. I mean, our friendship was already growing, but we had no idea what storms would come our way in the coming months and years. Sebastian saw my talent, and since he is also a writer, he always gave me his honest opinion of my work as I began my attempt to review as many of his films as possible. Every time I did, it drew us closer. We both seemed to genuinely understand the other, and thankfully my fan girl days were practically gone where he was concerned.

In addition to Sebastian, I began to gain other friends and followers. I could spend a considerable amount of time detailing how a review of a well-known film caused a leading actor to unblock me …show more content…
I interview actors all day. I sit around and eat bonbons (yeah, I wish--not really, my figure would never allow that). What I do is hard work, and only recently have I begun to receive any monetary compensation. Some nights, I don 't go to bed till two or three A.M. (Dylan Neal could tell a story about how he stayed up writing later than I did), and I have to get up the next morning by six or seven. Some days, I have three interviews. Some weekends, I have six interviews to get up by a certain time. Some actors have been waiting months for me to publish their interviews. (Sorry! I have not …show more content…
I got everything ready, including my passport, but it just wasn 't meant to be. When I went to LA for the film festival, I tried to meet Rick Ravanello, but he was too busy, and our schedules just didn 't work. I considered going down to LA this fall when Dylan Neal and Brooke Burns were on Home and Family on the Hallmark Channel, but the timing never seemed right. I used to dream about meeting Sebastian in Vancouver, but I had essentially given up on that dream ever happening. The timing never seemed right, and I wasn 't about to force

    Wanted Movie Analysis

    "Wanted" is basically from a comic book that has limited series written by Mark Miller and J.G Jones, it is about an amoral protagonist (Wesley Gibson) who is discovered as the heir of super assassin. Russian director, Timur Bekmambetov, he is the cream of the crop, he turns this comic into a movie that make the viewers not sit still and make their adrenaline and cortisone levels spike with the actions. Bekmambetov used the similar style of shots and angles with his previous movie, Night watch. It's more to wide angle (long shot), so we can see the terrifying background like one of the scenes in the torture room, where Wes has been beaten up by the butcher. Not even that, there are many special effects that Bekmambetov applies in this movie, like slow-motion with sound effects that certainly provides that "ouch" reaction from audiences.…

    Ricardo's Career Goals

    Dave Isay and Maya Millett compiled interviews between people, which created Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work to display the multitude of ways a person can discover meaning in their professional lives. These stories exhibit diverse circumstances, allowing readers to find relatable stories and draw connections relevant to their lives. For myself, the stories of Actor Ricardo Pitts-Wiley and Policewoman Pat Hays stand out and gift me with insight into my own career choices. By following his heart and becoming an actor, Ricardo Pitts-Wiley takes a risk. Acting is a profession known for having low pay and employment, but after stepping on stage in his junior year performance, he knows he must continue down this road (94).…

    Laramie Project Film Analysis

    Elizabeth Evans Film Critique The movie, The Laramie Project, is based on the play originally preformed by the Tectonic Theatre Company - so it is not a conventional movie. The Laramie Project is basically a re-enacted documentary. The movie is done like this because the play is a series of monologues and short dialogues taken from the interviews - it does not flow from scene to scene but instead is presented in "moments" that are not in chronological order and are mixed together to give the play an overall feel.…

    Film Analysis: The Trevor Project

    Almodovar Film Analysis

    Standardizing the visual language has always proved to be a challenge amongst all kinds of artists especially filmmakers. This, in turn, has spawned a collection of individualistic visual expressions in respect to every different director and filmmaker. Through the visualisation of elements within both our daily lives and those of imaginative scapes, the audience are subsequently exposed to an array of overt influences that minutely alter their subconscious mindsets. These messages and symbols, depicted by their creator, become the founding blocks of a spectacular, enticing film for the general public. This can be thoroughly explored through movies such as Volver which not only encapsulates these visualising elements but also demonstrates an…

    Un Chien Andalou Film Analysis

    It explores dreamlike states and impossible ideas such as the pulling of a grand piano. The spacial continuity is disjointed through the involvement of various spaces of action such as when the woman opens the door from a living room onto a beach, which is entirely impossible and lacks reality. The characters consistently look off screen or directly into the camera, breaking the “fourth wall”, which subverted the golden rule of classical narrative and violated the illusion that the viewer was simply an observer and creates an unnerving sense that the characters ‘know’ they are being watched. The editing throughout is very cutting-edge for the period.…

    Film Analysis: La Mission

    The year 2015 has constituted several monumental changes in regards to marriage equality in the U.S. After many years of debate and consideration, the United States Supreme Court finally decided to put an end to the discriminative legislature preventing homosexuals from being legally married. The film La Mission captures some of the harassment and intolerance homosexuals have to cope with from disapproving family members. La Mission conveys the story of a Latino, ex-convict named Che Rivera who finds out his son is in a relationship with another male. Che, played by actor Benjamin Pratt, is as “old school” as they come and is highly respected in the community. Because of his traditional values and ideas on certain topics, it is nearly impossible…

    Gattaca Cinematic Analysis

    In the world of Andrew Niccol’s film Gattaca, tinkering with human genetics has become the norm in the search for perfection of body and mind. The practice has become so widespread that those conceived naturally suffer discrimination on the basis of their DNA which in turn creates a class divide between the two groups. In the film genetics, and the imperfection drawn from them is overcome by means of raw determination by the protagonist and these concepts are explored through a variety of cinematic techniques utilised by Niccol, notably those exclusive to the medium such as mise en scene, soundtrack and camera angles. Niccol’s film tells the tale of Vincent, a ‘god child’, one born through natural conception with little engineering performed…

    I asked, and not twenty minutes later I had learned all about him; that he, too, lived in Ridgefield, that he worked as a businessman, and much more. After that, I shared with him, and we got to talking for quite a while. An hour turned into two, time feeling meaningless, before we decided to take our conversation over to the nearest coffee house, the strong smell drifting up into our noses, and we stayed there talking until late at night. After that, I scribbled down my number for him to call, and he helped me get a cab home. On the ride to my house, I couldn't help but smile, thinking of James and…
