This film shows how hard filmmaking could be. The process of making a movie is a real challenge, especially if the screen writer is adapting a book to a movie. The hardest part of making a book movie, is when a screen writer is trying to stay true to the book author’s story.
Film are done by all kinds of people, there is no certain kind of person in this industry. From a shy person, to an awkward one, to an outgoing person. Film is about every person’s artistic view of the writer’s POV, from actors, writers, to directors, etc. Being in a film as actor, a writer, any of the film crew is a worth while endeavor if passion and drive is there, without that I don’t think it would be worth it. Of course it takes a lot of guts and patience, because
By reading Andrew’s essay, I also learned why it is usually harder to capture the feeling of a work. Instead of thinking that the director did a horrible job of adapting a work of literature, I am now more likely to step back and reflect on why and how the film was and felt different than the original text.
While most of us love watching films, those of us who have read the book in which a film was developed from, will most likely feel uneasy when the film does not match exactly what we read. In most cases, we feel disappointed to not see our own interpretation of the book on the screen. A film made from a book or inspired by a book is called adaptation. Many people who have read Cornell Woolrich's short story "It Had to Be Murder" and then watched Alfred Hitchcock’s film, “Rear Window,” were disappointed that the adaptation did not reflect exactly the

Ordinary is the best and the worst word to describe August 4th, 1992 in Grand Haven, Michigan. Ordinary was the Coast Guard Day festival going smoothly just as it did every year. Ordinary was the townspeople celebrating at the festival or staying home and enjoying their day off. In the Borne house, ordinary was the children watching their cartoons in the living room. It was Carolyn finding some way to occupy her time by cleaning. It was Kevin being the normal workaholic at his desk with the smooth jazz records playing loudly to keep him company. It was Erin starting on her history assignment due the next day, despite having the past two weeks to work on it. What happened that day, though, was decidedly the most unordinary occurrence to
The study of dreams, and especially the study lucid dreaming, is very complex and ambiguous. There are many facts and concepts that scientists currently don’t understand about dreaming and how the mind works while asleep. The movie Inception does a wonderful job and capturing this ambiguity of dreams and placing it into a complex and equivocal story line. The movie, although confusing at times, effectively examines the complexity of dreaming and the subconscious. It does this by blurring the line between the real world and the dream world, leaving the audience with the task of determining what is real, and what is simply a dream.
Both book and movie are really good in their own ways. The book has a lot more space to work with, and this makes the story very engaging. In movie we can visual see characters and their emotions outline greatly which help understand the story very well. In both concepts, they organized really well to stripped down the main story.

Remade twice, the classic 19th century black and white film Yojimbo magnifies a dark comic that captivates the viewers from beginning to end.

Hello Christian! After reading your analysis, I want to tell that you forget put the link of the vintage-ads. However, I already found it by searching the title of movie. When I saw the title of movie, I remember that I saw a movie that have same name, and I think it is different version with Karate Kid II.

Lastly, I analyzed The Passion from my own perspective as well. I have seen The Passion numerous times, and always thought about the film in the same way. But this time was different. I have never been encouraged to think about the film in such a way as we did in class. This course challenged me to view the film in a different way and engage with the content at a new level.
The selection of primary characters by Tarantino seems to follow a concrete formula; the individual must provide meaningful, provoking dialogue and possess a contradictory ulterior motive. While such an equation may seem simple, the development of such a character proves much more difficult than expected. All have a strength that others in the film lack, a charisma that leaves the audience no other choice but to cling to them until the credits roll. While Pulp Fiction is very heavily dependent on its dialogue, the characters that enact it make it the monument that it has come to be. Without the invested characters to deliver the so praised exchanges, they become easily forgettable phrases that fade to nothing as soon as the viewer leaves
