Throughout the film Barrymore used many different camera angles but most common was the technique of panning from the ground following through to the main character’s face. I feel this angle, or shot, was used the most throughout the film and depicts the coming of age of Bliss. The concept of growing up and finding one’s self is portrayed by the camera angle growing from the ground up just as a young adult must do. The scene with Bliss’s boots shows how hard it is for her to be different and not her mother’s dreams. Something as simple as buying boots turns into a life changing moment for Bliss. Although the act of buying the boots was a trivial purchase, this scene opens the world to Bliss as roller derby allows her personal growth by the

In Michael Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), the connections between people and memories become the focal point of a very unique romance.

“Joyful Noise wraps several entertainment modes into a hot fudge Sunday sundae. It is a suspense-free singing competition drama; a down-home, just-folks bucket of cornpone; a thwarted teenage romance of sweethearts without chemistry; and a silly extended cat fight with retracted claws” claims Stephen Holden (Holden). A lot of the time, it is hard to tell what Holden really thinks about the movie between his creative insults and mysterious, slightly positive comments, but overall, the review is negative. Holden points out the movie’s “minimally sketched subplots” including Vi-Rose’s son with Asperger’s and the background romances. He also claims there is only one instance where the audience sees the Dolly Parton they know and love, saying even the acting is subpar (Holden). Stephen Holden has a nearly blind hate towards all aspects of the movie, many of which are actually what give Joyful Noise its delightful charm and character. Holden’s irrational distaste toward the film in his review is misplaced and does not accurately depict the film. The “several entertainment modes” that Holden finds so despicable are exactly what makes the film enjoyable, and the film may not be a masterpiece but the quirks are what make it humorous and touching rather than “a lower echelon of musical comedy hell” (Holden).
