“Everest”, an account of the tragedy occurred in the famous Nepalese mountain in the spring of 1996, also presents a strong cast, including Jason Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Keira Knightley, Robin Wright, and Emily Watson. Screenwriters William Nicholson and Simon Beaufoy try to assemble the different pieces in a mix of family drama, human competition, and survival epic, but in my eyes, and despite watchable, the film falls short of something big. A group of audacious…

The battle of Trenton, a battle that changed the way war was viewed. Washington lead his army and ambushed the Hessians. The reason, was his personality and what situation they were in, but how did his leadership and personality played a role in the battle of trenton? Each and every time Washington was out into battle, he ran. Diminishing his supplies each time. Losing men by contracts, supplies by being captured, mens shoes from walking. Soon only 18 gun, 2000 men, some food, no boats, and no…

There’s a cynical ridiculousness in the low-key “The Treasure”, the fourth fictional feature from Corneliu Porumboiu, author of “12:08 East of Bucharest” and “Police, Adjective”. I confess I expected more from the Romanian director/screenwriter, especially if we take into account the more valuable cinematic treasures mentioned above. All the features that characterize Mr. Porumboiu’s directorial approach can be found in his new deadpan comedy, which starts in a curious way, becoming overdetailed…

Surprisingly mature for a directorial debut feature, “Indignation” is probably the best drama you can find today in New York theaters. First-time director James Schamus is best known as a screenwriter and for his longtime association with Ang Lee’s filmography, which includes “The Wedding Banquet”, “Eat Drink Man Woman”, “The Ice Storm”, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, and “Lust, Caution”. He truly did a wonderful job here by deftly adapting Phillip Roth’s 2008 novel of the same name. This…

The film we recently finished in class that pertained to our screenwriting unit was Inception, which was directed by Christopher Nolan and was released in the year 2010. This movie is set during a modern time period and has multiple settings. Although, the majority of the settings are located in the dreams of Fischer such as a city, a hotel and a snow fortress. There are three characters that the movie focuses on: Dom Cobb, Ariadne and Robert Fischer. Inception is about a man named Dom Cobb who…

perception. Not everyone will be pleased with a freewheeling story that features a group of dysfunctional characters inhabiting a dysfunctional building. Nevertheless, Mr. Wheatley, who shows a curious inclination for slow-motion scenes, and the screenwriter Amy Jump, did the impossible. Even faulty here and there, the film pays…

One of the things that makes me as a stronger and more develop writer, is what my passion lies on, which is Filmmaking. There are also many different ways that you can be stronger as a writer, but what is the point of doing something if you are not enjoying it. A quote from one of my favorite actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, “The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it”. Therefore, as a filmmaker, I always thought that writing is a really good practice…

The media misinterprets the values of Christianity and portrays Christian celebrities in a negative way. Naturally, the media is giving the people what they want and sometimes it is not always true. Real life Christian celebrities speak out about their religious beliefs and how the media sees them. Television shows and movies include religious characters that end up being the murderer or adulterer, which gives religion a negative review in society. The negative portrayal of Christians in today’s…

stereotypes to misrepresent, but are highly accepted among people in society. Although Scandal is a high-rating television show many people love, it portrays African American women in a negative light. This essay is not meant to downplay African American screenwriter Shonda…
