These techniques range from background music to use of props. Such techniques always end up making the difference between a good movie and a mediocre one. One of the most efficiently used techniques in the movie were Lighting, Costumes, Acting and Music. The most important part of a movie is acting, it is the single most aspect of a movie. Moviedepends on how well actors are able to convey their feelings to the audience. Viewers like a movie because they feel related to the character that is being portrayed by the actor. The acting in this movie is pleasing as main characters wonderfully portray their characters, but it is Roy and Alexandria's character who steal the show. Lee Pace's work as Roy is amazing as he is able to convey all his anger and frustrations with life precisely to such an extent that audience start feeling sorry for him. Catinca's work as Alexandria is also commendable as she pulls of emotionally intense scenes with ease. She also maintains her innocence throughout the movie. Costumes were the other important factor in making this movie. Costumes were designed keeping the characters in mind, like in hospitals characters wore white clothes. Similarly characters in the Roy's story were given the costumes keeping their backgrounds and ethnicity in mind. Character named Indian wore turban and dressed like a Sikh warrior from India. Darwin wore a fur coat which was done to notify audience that he was a botanist. Odious' henchmen wore costumes which was also worn by the people who took X-ray in the hospitals this shows the clever use of symbols in the

I don't belive Dan seen as a hero at the end of the movie because it has his wife the one that had the last shot, literally in the theatrical ending and figuratevly in the orginal ending.…

    "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.

    Tarsem Losing My Religion

    As writer-director Tarsem Singh (these days, just "Tarsem") explains it, he first had the idea for The Fall 14 years ago, but was unable to secure funding for a dark, miserablist fantasy shot in more than a dozen countries, based on a Bulgarian drama (1981's Yo Ho Ho), and largely written by the improvisational choices of a 5-year-old girl. And no wonder. The Fall ranks up there with the collected directorial works of Crispin Glover as an impossible-to-sell act of creative love and insane genius; Tarsem wound up financing it himself, piggybacking his shoots on his commercial-directing work around the world. But for such a homemade project, it's a staggeringly polished and beautiful one, heavily informed by Tarsem's work in commercials and music videos.…

    The Debut (2000) was a film presenting the positive aspects of the Filipino culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face.

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 horror genre in the 2000’s is very different to what it was in 1930, for example a 1930 horror movie would consist of monsters and vampires, whereas nowadays, the new direction it has taken is the teenage slasher movies, such as scream, and my bloody valentine. In the new direction there is more blood and murder, it involves more serial killers, rather than ghosts. So it gives it a more of a real feel behind it to give you that extra scare. Most of these changes came from psycho (1960) In the famous shower scene, when that big, fat kitchen knife, wielded by a mysterious Victorian shrew named Mrs. Bates, came slicing through and down the shower curtain, constantly over and over, into the body of Marion Crane (still its tough to believe or…
