The Revenant is a very long and very intense movie. In the blockbuster, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a seemingly indestructible savage machine. Glass survives the impossible on more than one occasion. In three scenes in particular, Glass is put through a climatic, thrilling situation. The first scene is in a misty forest where Glass finds himself alone when he stumbles upon bear cubs and soon after is nearly mauled to death by the mother bear. He escapes death when he was able to pull out his knife to kill the bear. Consequently, he is now in critical condition and is not able to walk, move, or even talk. The next mind-blowing scene, Glass just rode his horse off a cliff while a blizzard encroaches him. His horse did not survive the fall and the only thing to help Glass stay alive was his knife so he used it to gut the horse completely hollow then Glass removed all of his clothes and crawled inside the horse to wait use its body heat to protect him from the harsh snow storm. Finally, the thought-to-be climax of the movie, Glass finds the man who murdered his son while he helplessly watched, and Glass kills him in a long, bloody exchange of gunshots and knife wounds and ultimately drags him in the nearby ice cold stream
I believe that this action packed blockbuster that gave Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar is boring. I believe this not because it has a poor scenery or bad acting, the acting is phenomenal and the scenery and special effects are very detailed and
In the 1991 film Black Robe, which is set during the 1630s Beaver War in North America, the French make attempts to search for and continue to convert a Huron Indian tribe to Christianity. To complete this mission, the founder of the French settlement in Quebec, Samuel Champlain, sends a Jesuit priest, Father LaForgue, off to find the Indian tribe, and a man named Daniel and a family of Indians, who are a part of the Algonquin tribe, accompany Father LaForgue on this journey.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality
In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since
1968 was the year that North Vietnam launched the Tet Offensive against the United States and South Vietnam, the year that Martin Luther King JR and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, the year that started student protests and riots, the year that Black Power salute occurred and finally, the year that Night of the Living Dead came out. You may be wondering why a film would have anything to do with these historic events that occurred in 1968. Well, Night of the Living Dead is a zombie horror film directed by George A. Romero, this film that Romero created was a game changer for the film industry it lead to something bigger than purely entertainment. Romero’s goal behind his low budget black and white film was to construct subtext about social issues such as the Vietnam War and many other issues that went on during 1968. Romero’s zombie film’s present a sense of the failure of human co-operation.
The movie “Gone with the Wind” is about a rich southern girl named Scarlett O’Hara and her life hardships set during the time-period of the Civil War. In the story, Scarlett is forced to watch helplessly as her family’s wealth and lives fade as the confederacy loses the Civil War. Even though, the movie is mainly centered on the dilemmas of Scarlett’s love life, there are many historical accuracies that immerse the viewer in the southern mindset as well as the timeframe. The portrayal of class structures and the confederate attitudes before the Civil War are both accurate and engaging details that the movie successfully implements. In the film, these examples are displayed mainly through the dialogue and setting.
"Washington and Hollywood spring from the same DNA." That statement, coming from a man who was a past president of Motion Picture Association of America, is an automatic sign that movie accuracy is not always the top priority of filmmakers. Something shown once in film can hardly sway someone view on a topic. However, the continuous repetition of a cut out stereotype has the power to make minds think a certain way. Since the beginning of Cinema, that has been the case of viewing the people of Arabian and Middle Eastern decent. Aside from the cliché turban and robe, what is shown is a consistent connection between any form of evil and those two particular groups of people. The reasoning for that falls behind America's political agenda.
Behind every great movie, comes a storyline that is derived from a book however, most of the books to the movies have a great number of deviations. The screenwriters and other staff members to include the director come up with these deviations to enhance the plot in the attempt to make it a more interesting film to which in turn can make a better profit. The majority of differences that is found in films main objective is to enhance the mind. For example, when a scene has the ability to get a particular feeling out of a viewer, it is imperative to be able to understand the reasons for those feelings. The dialog and the visual effects of a scene sets a tone that differs from that of the book that it was taken from. Also, screen writers and
We all have our choices, likes and dislikes, and views and are entitled to our own. You might like something that would seem completely and utterly obnoxious to someone else and vice-versa. In the same way the Box Office works. It’s a rather rare deal when a good movie is underrated or hasn’t been given its due credit because the audience did not understand; mostly it’s because of reasons such as the budget of the movie, the cast or even the production design. Even when the story line is spot on and it can support it without fancy actors or glamourous sets.
This was my first time watching “Raiders of the Lost Ark” let alone any Indiana Jones movie. It took a hill to finally find the film online but when I did i was exited to see the film, every website I went was giving it 9/10 ratings or 5/5 I don't recall seeing anything less then a 4 or 9. Then after seeing Stephen Spielberg directed and George Lucas helped write the film I knew there was going to be thrill, action, comedy and everything else it takes to make a Great film. The film starts by introducing Dr. Henry leading an exploration team through a thick jungle of South America, as he comes to a stop one of the group members pulls out a gun behind him, Dr. Henry hears the gun get loaded and slowly grabs his whip. Before you know it you see
The deep jungles of South America, 1936. Three men trudge through the thick foliage, until one of them steps back from the others, pulling a gun. The leader of the group spins around, flashing his whip with incredible speed and knocking the weapon away. Thwarted, the gunman runs for his life as the dashing leader steps out from the shadows and reveals the grizzled face of…Han Solo. Unless you lived in a dark cave on Neptune during the late 1970s, this would have been the only plausible reaction to Harrison Ford’s reveal shot in the opening sequence of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. With a look that Spielberg admits
It is Crowe's movies I have enjoyed the most in the past. Surprisingly though, it is DiCaprio character I enjoy more in this movie. In fact, Russel Crowe'scharacter Hoffman, is a little boring in this really. He is a desk man really who is over weight, and his only real danger in life is the fast food he eats on a daily basis. It was also a surprise to see Crowe out of shape, which he certainly was in this.
For my final paper, I will analyze a piece of music that is really well-known in the cinematic industry. Indiana Jones is a movie that came out in 1981, George Lucas, wanted to create a character that inspire young generations to go in adventures and homage heroes. He knew that a great movie need a well-known composer, John Williams became one of the most popular orchestral composer in America. He had won three Golden Globes awards, five Academy Awards, 17 Grammys and five BAFTA awards from Television Arts. One of the most famous movements that he composed for important movies are for, Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T, Indiana Jones and of course the original soundtrack of Star Wars, that he completely transformed the songs into movie icons in the American culture.
Actually, Steven Spielberg’s film named “Lincoln” starts during the time of the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln was requiring this war’s end. From the initial scene the cruelty of the war is clearly shown, mostly against African American soldiers. In fact, racial discrimination was a significant problem at that time and that was one of the biggest struggles of Abraham Lincoln, as he attempted to maintain the whole nation as one union. The film describes the situation occurred in the 1860s and discloses that white privilege was a centric faith. Nevertheless, the manner in which white people are depicted in this film assumes that there are only insignificant changes in that respect.
This installment is directed again by Michael Bay. However, it is seen more as a reboot, with Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia LaBeouf. While it has been panned by critics with a score of 18% on Rotten Tomatoes (aka Rotten), this is clearly not stopping many from escaping the heat (To be clear, according to Rotten Tomatoes 65 percent of the audience said they liked it and this isn't the first time the audience and the critics do not agree).
Most of the famous people today would not be where they are without the admiration of others; the financial and emotional support that comes with it can go a long way towards lifting people into the limelight. All famous people get some amount of admiration, but not all of them get a fair amount. Celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio obviously have many admirers due to their exceptional acting in big roles. I believe DiCaprio is a cut above the rest, though. He is a dedicated environmentalist and has donated millions of dollars to protect wildlife and habitats. In his award acceptance ceremonies for The Revenant he allotted time to speak about climate change and how we need to take action. Although many admire DiCaprio for his acting,
