petri dish), but everything is enhanced with a flourish and panache that elevates what could have otherwise been a predictable genre film. The setting is a close approximation of the present day, and the characters react in an entirely relatable manner. From bravery to apparent cowardice, nothing is delivered in a hammy way. Reynolds gets to shine early on, and as the film progresses we get to see more from the supporting characters as well standout turns from Ferguson and in particular…

someone with a wooden leg and eyepatch who sails around getting into swordfights over some treasure chests. This view of what a pirate is changes when viewing ‘Pirates, Galleons, and Treasure: Globe Trekker’, a documentary film in which the real pirates that lived are discussed. This film is a good, accurate, representation of why piracy happened along with who the pirates were and what they did. There is a range of different pirates that were mentioned, so they and what they did, along with the…

This week 's topic centers around religion. In the films assigned this week we see different religions and their characteristics. The films that were assigned were "Everything is Illuminated", directed by Liev Schreiber and "The Apostle," directed by Robert Duvall. Although both films do not center around religion, they do feature certain elements that relate to the religions mentioned in the movie and us as the viewer get to explore how they affect the outcome. To start off, the movie…

more appealing on the big screen and to wrap it up in the time they are allowed to use for the film. If every book, that became a movie, was followed exactly in film as it did in writing, there would be multiple films for one story. It is not possible to find that amount of detail into a two-hour time slot. But the questions are, does this take away the integrity of the story? Do the drones of the film industry have the right to change art to fit our societal needs? As a people, “we” are not…

play version put on by the UAA Theater and Dance crew. In my opinion, I liked the play better. The film seems to cut out parts of the play and shorten parts of the play. The film also changes the dialogue slightly and changes the framework. Although the two productions were very similar, I seemed to like the play version better because of the amusing way it was performed and it seemed to follow the script more than the movie. Films only have a limited amount of time to pack…

The creation and development of film has been a competitive and innovative part of history that has not only affected entertainment for societies, but has continued to boost economic status and critique human practices. In the 19th century, the idea came to light that photographs could be compiled in such a way a motion picture was able to be produced; these short films took on a flipbook appearance and could easily be one of the inspirations behind stop motion cinematography that is still alive…

it is almost impossible to come to it with a fresh eye. It is one of the fundamental landmarks of cinema. Its famous massacre on the Odessa Steps has been quoted so many times in other films (notably in ``The Untouchables'') that it's likely many viewers will have seen the parody before they see the original. The film once had such power that it was banned in many nations, including its native Soviet Union. Governments actually believed it could incite audiences to action. If today it seems more…

Los Angeles, California. Attracting young adults to see how can four different personalities can come together, and impact each other’s lives once they get into a relationship. The film is a remake of the 1986 film of the same name; both are based on the 1974 play Sexual Perversity in Chicago by David Mamet. Both films differ from the play by substituting a reconciliation of the couple at the end rather than a break-up. The great poet Rainer Maria Rilke, knew and acknowledged this truth when he…

changing the game of his or her sport, these moments can take place anywhere and at any time. For the film industry, one of the most important and groundbreaking films ever made was Star Wars, directed by George Lucas. Star Wars instantly became one of the most popular films once released, creating a fanbase that will continue for many generations. Lucas was able to create this unbelievable film through many common techniques that were used for many decades before his time. However, the most…
