Spider-Man, The Hulk, And Selena

Improved Essays
For my three movies that I think should be appreciated even after many of us have left, would have to be Spider-Man, The Hulk (2003), and Selena.
Why Spider-Man? You may be asking yourself for the first pick, well since this movie is all time favorite movie because I enjoyed how Tobey Maguire captured the essence of Spider-Man. I enjoy the story plot. The actors for each character couldn't have been any perfect. The fact which everyone can relate to Peter Parker, well maybe not the part that he gets bit by a radioactive spider and is now half spider. But the part of being secluded by a group and not believing that you are meant for greater things. Another attribute that i admire of this film is the main theme song at the beginning and throughout the film. You can feel the music with all the minor/major chords, various contributions of instruments like percussion, violins, brass section, vocals.

The film which best exemplifies the highest expression of motion picture artistry would have to be The Hulk (2003) for reasons like Music, camera shoots , picture shoots, incorporation of science of genetics and DNA, wildlife, story plot, and

I really went into detail about who Selena was and what she wanted her music to say about her and made other people feel. It showed all the behind scenes of the life Selena had prior to fame, how she was in a band with her family and her father was the manager and the person mostly in charge of her. She started just singing at little events and soon after her father got into contact with other important people and rose Selena to stardom. Just like the previous films that I have mentioned about the actors playing specific characters goes same to this film as well Jennifer Lopez really captured who/was Selena. The costumes that were really back when Selena wore was also on

    Love, Power, and Tragedies: Which Spider-Man Did It Better? Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man may seem to be vastly similar throughout both films with them dealing with science fanatic and orphan kid Peter Parker, the essentials being the same just brought upon in different ways and events but closely analyzing each film they seem to have specific distinctive traits. Amongst those traits they include the love interest between different girls, the altered way they produce their web, and the identical way he loses his uncle. To begin with, the love interest that goes on with the main character Peter Parker and the girl he is passionate for between these two movies is highly unalike.…

    Citizen Kane is considered by many to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest film of all time, and while I find the notion of labeling one movie as “the greatest film ever made” a bit overzealous, the contributions that Citizen Kane made to the film industry and the impact that it had on the audiences in its era is remarkable. Citizen Kane a substantial influence on the audience and the film industry through its use of innovative narrative style and technical cinematic elements that may not have been widely used in classic Hollywood cinema. The narrative style of Citizen Kane challenged the traditional Hollywood narrative by developing the story through the use of flashbacks and first person voice over narration from different characters throughout the movie. Each character, from Jed Leland, Kane’s “friend”, to Susan Kane, Kane’s second wife, to Jerry Thompson, the reporter looking for the meaning behind Kane’s last words, all contribute an aspect of Mr. Kane’s life in the form of a flashback.…

    The performance that I saw for She Kills Monsters was the preview show. My expectations for this play was different from the I and You play. Since the play was about a dead sister I expected the whole thing to be sad or depressing kind of but it was the complete opposite. The play had many twist and turns surprising moments that I didn’t even expect. A live theater that I saw before this play would be I and You, these plays were similar relating that they both were about death yet, each play expressed death in two different ways, she kills monster was more of a comical play.…

    Favela: in Brazil, an urban slum or ghetto; illegal squatter settlement. This is how the film Favela Rising begins. It begins by describing what a favela is, which I am glad it does because this is a term that I have never heard of before.

    Van Helsing Analysis

    In my personal opinion "Van Helsing" is a good movie because it convenes Frankenstein's Monster, Count Dracula, the Wolf Man, Igor, Van Helsing the vampire hunter, assorted with other monsters such as werewolves, vampires, and even Mr. Hyde. The movie is like a Greatest Hits compilation; it's assembled like Frankenstein's Monster, from spare parts stitched together and brought to life with electricity, the movie also includes lots of computer-generated images. The plot is about Dracula's desperate need to discover the secret of Frankenstein's Monster, for that he can use it to bring his countless offspring to life. The main reason of why he needs this is because Dracula (Richard Roxburgh) and his vampire brides are all dead, they cannot give birth, of course, to live children.…

They also have a lot of music in this movie which makes the movie even more interesting. Most of this music was really good too. Without the music scenes this movie definitely won’t be as good because the music adds more sense of communication with the audience.…

    Many of the singing and dancing scenes were shot seamlessly using a single take. I assume that the camera is on a track similar to a train during the “Good Morning” song because the actors move from room to room but the camera shot remains the same and follows them throughout the set. Close-up shots were used almost exclusively for kissing and other intimate scenes which I felt helped the viewer understand the emotions that the characters were feeling. I think the cinematography used in this movie was very progressive for the time period and deserves a four out of five stars. This gives the movie an overall average of 4.17…
