Everyone has a movie that they have sat down, watched, and thorough found themselves pleased with it. Whether it was the plot, the theme, the visual effect, or another aspect in which appealed to you, there was something in that movie that left you astounded and content.

The film, being the Film Noir genre, uses lots of different Film Noir elements to complete the feeling. Throughout the movie the viewer sees the traits of classic Film Noir, in the movie Psycho.…

Imagine only having three main ways of entertainment. This is how it was during the 1930s. The Great Depression was going on during the ‘30s. A lot of people had wanted to be entertained as the Library of Congress states, “Even during “hard times” and war time, people needed to be entertained. The Americans in the 1930s and 1940s were no exception. They enjoyed many forms of entertainment, particularly if they could do so inexpensively” ( “Art and Entertainment in the 1930s and 1940s” 1).

the final product at times. When a director goes too far to prove a point or tell the audience something about themselves instead of creating an unbiased view of the world, then something is wrong with what the genre is supposed to be. I am not saying that making films like that are bad, they just aren’t what I would define as Direct Cinema. For example, even though this may be very debatable, I do not think Frederick Wiseman is a full on Direct Cinema director. His material is too argumentative…

My rating on this movie a 3 out of 5 because in my perspective, I didn’t enjoy the way they made the movie. I relished…

As far as movies go Apocalypse Now is at the very top of my list pertaining to favorite movies; although Robert Duvall performance as LtCol Kilgore may only last but a few moments, his portal of the character for me is one of the most enjoyable parts of the movie. Duvall has a history of both appearing in movies as supporting roles and delivering a performance that somehow always seems to stand out as one if not the most memorable scenes of each movie. Apocalypse Now is no exception to this rule…
