Ordinary Movie Analysis

Roger Ebert described Wit as a movie that hurts too much (Ebert, 2008), and I have to agree. From the first scene, Dr. Vivian Bearing is a character that draws me in. The preciseness of her speech demands respect and her matter of fact observations vividly display the irony of her situation, adding humor to a subject that would seem impossible. The doctors, in their own form of precise speech, manage to strip all humanity from practicing medicine; making it clear that their intentions were on advancing the science rather than helping the patient. While Bearing told the audience the truth of how she was feeling and what her thoughts were, she gave the doctors the answers they wanted to hear, and in doing so, she gave up the ability to have a peaceful death. It makes one wonder, how often do we know the truth from the patient’s perspective?

Hollywood changes, edits, adds and removes things they don’t deem worthy of mentioning because they think it’s boring or insignificant, so it’s not really known how much of the movie is true and what's been edited, added, or completely removed.

Imagine that two men, ragged and exhausted, have found their way onto a cold shoreline and collapse. Having witnessed death and feeling like death, they had finally returned home. These two men had just returned from the Crusades, where they had initially acted out of their religious idealism and returned with that idealism destroyed. The viewer cannot say for sure what these two men had witnessed, or what they had done, all in the name of God. All that can be established from these opening, dialogue free scenes is that both men have returned damaged men, men who have seemingly lost some sort of will, and most possibly some sort of faith. These men have arrived home, but their home has now been hit by fear and disease.

From Jane Austen to Rick Riordan, countless popular novels have been developed into movies. However, despite the anticipation of seeing the visual representation of a beloved novel, reading enthusiasts and authors often end up feeling disappointed in the movie adaptations.

Different films are composed of different structure, sound, genre, cinematography and of course actors. I think it is safe to say everyone at least once in their lifetime has watched a movie before, it does not necessarily have to be for entertainment it can also be for educational purposes. But how many actually sit and really take in the art of the film itself? To me, movies can be considered a work of art. There are so many things that go into creating a film to ensure that the message is clearly delivered across to the targeted audience. Movies are actually a mirror of life, they focus on real life problems, and the only difference is that the problems are being unfolded on a screen. Movies are such great things because a film could be made in South Africa or even in London, and people all over the world could see it and relate to it.
