Robert Wainwright The Fog Analysis

Improved Essays
Rupert Wainwright delivers an intriguing story about a town on an island in Oregon. With decent cinematgrhopy that's all the movie really had. The movie lacked good characters that didn't pull me in. These people actually got paid to act in this? CGI was poorly used for The Fog, it looked like a cloudy day off the coast of Oregon, unlike the original where the fog looked really awesome and a little scarier.

In 1871 four men founded Antonio Island, on a night like most nights we see these four men are actually murders. Present Day is now upon us as we meet Nick Castle (Tom Welling) a fisherman tring to live a simple life.When his girlfriend Elizabeth Dane (Maggie Grace) shows up after living in New York for 6 months. It doesn't take long

The other notable here is Googy Gress playing the villain of the piece Foster Cotton. Gress doesn’t actually fight the preposterous nature of the story, he dives in head first, and benefits from it.…

    I also feel like Roger Smith was too much of a businessman. He was laying off so many people that were dedicated to the company just to make a little bit more money. I believe he was the main reason for the crash of Flint, Michigan, since he was supporting the town for so many years and then decided to take away the factory. Overall, I felt like the film gave a good perspective of different sociological perspectives like social classes, deviance, and the conflict paradigm in a real world setting and opened people’s eyes to what really occurred in Flint,…
