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…

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…

The movie Romeo + Juliet is based on the classic story of Romeo and Juliet. The movie is set in modern day Verona Beach, and uses shakespeare language in the modernized movie. Romeo + Juliet was overall a interesting story that of course retold Romeo and Juliet in a more modernized way, although some parts weren’t as appealing and included small irrelevant details in the movie. 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…

The role that motion pictures have in people’s lives is distinct and undeniable.

Every part of this movie is as crucial as the next. The sound effects of the all the different animals, are non – synchronous to make it more a natural environment, plants and the Avatars’ language which they speak. All of these sound effect are an important role to this movie as it creates a more lifelike environment for the audience. Whereas you come to the Human Base upon the planet there are synchronous sound effects of the machines. There is always a constant animal sound throughout all the…

released in 1934 and the other released in 1956 and both the remakes were directed by Hitchcock himself. Even though the original movie was remade after 22 years, both original and the remake are considered equally great, and are a sign of a master director. The movies can often be compared as “the work of a talented amateur in the first and the work of the professional in the second.” In both movies, the family has befriended a man who has just been killed. In his last moments of his life, he…

One of the great directing techniques in the film was how the colors green and red were used. The film used complementary colors to make objects and characters stand out or just to make a whole certain shot stand out. For example, when Amelie was in the carnival and in the background all the women were dressed with red and all the men were dressed with green. Because of that, Amelie and the people in the background made the shot look more serene and put together. Another example would be when…
