To review this film I will use the following criteria; plot, acting, animation and soundtrack. Hedwig and the Angry Inch’s main flaw …show more content…
Hedwig’s cast is full of firsts. John Cameron Mitchell had never played a women before, and was extremely concerned that he would offend the transgender community. The near ten years he spent studying on how to portray Hedwig in a realistic and tangible way while sticking with the wild plot paid off. Hedwig has become a trademark LGBTQ film. Stephan Trask and John Cameron Mitchell both knew that they wanted a women to play Hedwig’s husband Yitzhak. Miriam shore was not expecting to be casted for the role, and was hesitant about even auditioning however considering this was her first major role she plays Yitzhak beautifully. Shor pulls of drag impeccably, to the point where the only feminine trait that shines through is her voice, soaring harmonies with Hedwig’s deeper more masculine counterpart. Hedwig and The Angry Inches a small cast of characters, few with their own personal story. Most of the characters in the film are there to ultimately help highlight Hedwig and help tell her story. For instance the manager of Hedwig’s band Phyllis Stein played by Andrea Martin really brings out the cruel side of Hedwig, ultimately leaving Hedwig as a response to her treatment of Yitzhak. The cast of Hedwig is a colorful one, that helps accentuate the main character

While some deer hunters can pick up shed antlers like a kid collecting quarry stones, there are others who couldn't find a bone if their life depended on it. What do the most successful shed hunters do that separate them from the rest? A couple key things can have a huge positive impact on how many sheds you find. For example, perhaps they cover more ground, or they spend a greater length of time doing it. Here are the top three things that will ensure you have a successful shed hunt.
One of the largest rodents is the Sciuridae family is the Woodchuck (Marmota Monax) or more commonly known as the Groundhog. It is a fairly common animal most heavily found in the north and north eastern parts of the United States and across most of Canada (Encyclopedia of Life, 2015). Most Woodchucks choose to live in a habitat of grasslands or along the edge of a forest. They tend to like a cooler climate, but during the heart of winter they will hibernate in burrows that they dig throughout the year. The Woodchuck is a incredibly interesting animal that creates elaborate burrows for homes and one of the true hibernators.
The White-tail deer can often be found all over southern Canada and most parts of the United States. Their range extends throughout Central America to Bolivia. This sophisticated animal's habitat range is usually less than a square mile. Some of the White-tail deer's habitats include grasslands, prairies and plains, mountains, and forests. These deer prefer a more sheltered habitat; they often reside in forests, including hardwoods, coniferous, and tropical forests. However they may reside in forests such as tropical forests for a more sheltered habitat. The White-tale deer can adapt to their many habitats and they have incredibly strong muscles in their leg that allow them to run up to speeds such as 30 miles per hour! This is quite an advantage when it comes to running from predators. The White-tail deer has quite simple needs for a healthy life. Shelter from harmful weather or predators, food and water, and the space to find food and water, and to attract a mate.
Bullfrogs are found in a wide range of perniment freshwater habitat including ponds, swamps, and lakes where the bullfrog tends to prefer to be closer to the banks rather than out in the open water. Bullfrogs also prefer to be in warmer climates rather than cooler ones. Bullfrogs are animals and bullfrogs have a diet that is meat based on their habitat. Bullfrogs are nocturnal hunters, hiding and resting during the day and hunting by night. Bullfrogs hunt a variety of insects and their larvae, eggs, spiders, and even small fish. Some of the larger bullfrogs, today found in South Korea, have been even known to eat small snakes. They have powerful legs and cow-like call. Their conservation status that is least concern. Also the Bullfrogs skin type is permeable and slimmy.
Visualize growing up with a drunken father. Imagine having to clean up every mess he made and dealing with the anger of his drunken state. Place yourself in Martyn Pig's shoes and experience what he had to go through on the regular. He was forced to grow up with a father who only used him as a ticket to a buzz. Martyn Pig was a victim.

Martyn Pig is a victim and has gone through unnecessary stages in his life no child should ever have to experience.

Their facial expressions, gestures and movements make audiences empathize with the protagonists. In the scene of their first quarrel Rachel McAdams cries, sobs, portrays despair and pleads to stay ,as realistically as if she feels her character’s emotions. In scenes of happy moments she smiles and laughs sincerely, like when she listens to Noah (Ryan Gosling) sitting next to her. Ryan Gosling also demonstrated his acting talents in the movie. His character is very romantic and faithful and the actor expressed these traits very well. For instance, in the scene he first meets her he looks at her with loving eyes, his eyebrows are raised a bit as he cannot stop admiring her. When other women try to talk to him, he lets them see their attempts are futile via tone changes and hands crossed on his chest, which express his love and faithfulness. Such a realistic actors’ performance reinforces the dramatic plot.
Helga, being half-white and half-black, has an added struggle as a mixed-race woman in the Harlem Renaissance. At a time when the black community is being uplifted, Helga experiences the opposite. Helga is objectified as a female and as a mixed-race woman. The objectification of females treats them as rewards or objects to be obtained and in many cases acquiring this "object' further enhances their positions in society by creating an image of the cultured man. Her uncommon racial background is seen as an ‘exotic’ trait by many males, and even some females. This unfortunately furthers her objectification by others; for example, when Axel Olsen, a famous painter, proposes to Helga in Denmark. He says that with Helga as his wife, he may become “great” or “immortal.” He also adds: “I didn’t want to love you, but I had to,” (Larsen 88) when persuading Helga to accept his offer. By saying that he only wants to marry Helga because he “had to” in order to improve his
If I were a film critic I would give this film four and a half stars. It was well made and the actors were excellent. Although I have little to no experience living in a situation such as the one in the movie, I feel as though the lifestyle of these particular characters were portrayed truthfully. It was a culture shock to me, and the fact that it was most likely taken from real life is amazing in my mind. This movie not only made me think about the world as a whole but made me realize how incredibly lucky I am to have grown up in the environment in which I have lived in my entire life.
In another hour, it’s clear I’ve got to find a place to camp. Earlier today I thought we were going to go on a simple hunt. My dad and I were out in the woods walking to our deer stand. We don’t take much when we hunt, just guns, food, and water. Dad was giving me a lot of advice on what to do if you end up by yourself in the middle of the woods. It was weird because I thought I knew everything about the woods. We finally found our favorite hunting spot with our deer stands. We got up in our stand, and Dad said he forgot his bear spray in the truck. You always need bear spray when hunting in Alaska. He told me to stay put and wait for him to come back. That is where it all went wrong. After an hour, I started to get worried. Then
Larsen’s character Helga struggles greatly with this dichotomy between sexual desire and respectability. She has been taught to be a respectable woman in order to uplift the race and that black women should be perceived in a certain way. Larsen writes of Helga and Dr. Anderson’s conversation about Helga’s upbringing. Dr. Anderson says, “’Perhaps I can best
Hedgehogs as pets? Well, you can own them, in some states. In California, Maine, Georgia, Arizona, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Washington D.C. it is illegal to own a hedgehog. Hedgehogs should be legal in California and other states because they cause no harm, if handled properly, and would be very fascinating to own. As a matter of fact, many other animals that are even more so exotic than hedgehogs are legal. Lynxs, ball pythons, and tarantulas are all legal, what harm can a living prickly pear do more than a snake? Scorpions, tarantulas, snakes, and big cats can all bite and do some real damage. Hedgehogs cause no harm to a person, if handled correctly. Hedgehogs’ temperament is usually quiet and inquisitive. These prickly creature are a part of the
Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.
