Black Swan It’s fascinating how people go to great lengths to get what they want or to pursue their goals. These actions that go beyond the extent of the audience’s imagination are what make movies consuming. Overall, the movie “Black Swan” shows such strange and creepy images that made me wonder what is a hallucination and what is real throughout the whole movie, and that thought kept me absorbed. The fragile and pure main character, Nina, who perfectly symbolizes the white swan, is constantly…

His passion towards motion pictures was proclaimed while studying in…

Ratatouille Review Ratatouille is an extremely unique movie, with the story coming out of two writer’s minds instead of being based on a fairytale. Of course, Pixar is known for their creative minds, but this movie is a complete deviation from the norm. Rats are usually seen as disgusting and unlikable, but this movie is both a fan favorite and very well reviewed, with the characters being memorable and the tone of the movie being perfectly French. Ratatouille is a modern classic that has…

The Hollywood Western has a rich history stemming all the way from America’s social and political events in the late nineteenth century (Bandy & Stoehr, 2012). With it came filmmakers and stars, like John Ford and John Wayne, whose names would become synonymous with the genre.
