mystery-sci-fi films. Cinematography is important, because it is what makes the genre to what it is now, by using different camera techniques and shots. Inception, The Prestige, Donnie Darko, and Cube have similar camera techniques intended by the director, so they can achieve the film into a mystery/sci-fi film, and to build different emotions within the atmosphere. For example, in Inception, After Cobb and his children run into each other's arms, the camera slowly moves towards the totem,…
Jarhead Accuracy Hollywood likes to reenact moments of history for the viewer’s pleasure. The retelling of these historical events are usually used to make money, so the accuracy of some movies are not always one hundred percent reliable. This was the case in the movie Jarhead. Piece by piece, as the movie continued some small and large differences between Hollywood magic and reality were very evident. Even so, Jarhead has some historical value, but it was used predominantly as a money…
This film proved that Kim Ki-duk's presence in a movie is a pledge of success by its own self. This time, the Korean auteur penned the script, with Jang Hoon, the director, being one of the many assistants Kim had in his films, learning "the art" in "The Bow." The combination proved very successful, with "Rough Cut" recording more admissions than all of the previous Kim's films combined. Soo-ta's career (the name is actually a parody of the Korean word for (movie) star) is on the verge of…
What do movies like The Wizard Of Oz, The Godfather, and Star Wars have in common? These movies aren’t just good, they aren’t just great. They’re classics. But what makes these movies a masterpiece? Most would say the actors or the script, which is true. But these are not what leaves you walking out of the theatre with a smile on your face.

“Movement, change and flux are the only constants in the city.” A delightfully poignant movie revolving around urban alienation of its citizens living in Hong Kong, it is easy for its audience to get absorbed in the flurry of images created by Christopher Doyle’s shaky handheld cameras, William Chang’s fast-paced editing, and Wong Kar Wai’s signature ‘smudge-motion’ techniques in the film Chungking Express. These cinematographic images created from such, as if to vertiginously disorient its…

awards on the category of editing and sound. But in the following film analysis I will examine the two first concepts. There are multiple close ups and extreme close ups focused on the faces of Andrew and Fletcher, keeping them centered in frame. The director shows us not only the craft and precision of the musicians, but also to express the characters’ emotions and intentions. Andrew’s shots are used to highlight the pain of repetition and his maddening moments (his emotions such as anger,…
“Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves” ― Abraham Lincoln, Complete Works - Volume XII A lot of things go across your cerebral mass between your ears, when watching an Indian movie. Usually the thing that crosses my mind when I see an Indian movie is confusion. This is since I only understand a very small part of it. Although when I was watching one particular movie, called Mardaani, which happened to be on the day that we were supposed to find a topic for this…
