The Fifth Sense : Cole, A Little Boy

4. As I watched the movie, I could not grasp that the things that I was seeing were real, especially the body parts just laying around. It made me feel sick to my stomach that stuff like that happened.

Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

There are three elements of film that are individually important, however when they are viewed as a dependent unit (one element depending on another) they become absolutely critical to a great film and the impending success or failure. These three parts are narrative, direction and cast. Films have been viewed as a success or failure based on their narrative being portrayed alone. Yet, direction, cast as well as narrative have a directly proportional relationship. Great director and a great cast with a mediocre script or storyline will produce a mediocre film. Any one of these elements can be less than great and it will negatively affect the others as well as the film. All of these and more displayed perfect balance in Night of the Living Dead. George Romero did a remarkable job of ensuring emotions were conveyed to their audience through the camera, as well as his brilliant use of mise en scene (which will be discussed later). Specific examples

To begin with, the relationship that really transformed or impacted Cole’s life was the Spirit Bear. Cole’s hasn’t really ever been through traumatic experiences he has always given someone a traumatic experience because of how violent he was. In the book

I believe that at the end of chapter 1 in the book we are meant to feel that Cole is a very mean person. Also that he thinks he is better than everyone and he is superior, the evidence to show this is on page 4 when it states “Still standing on the dock in front of everyone, Cole smirked as he undressed.” This piece of evidence shows that cole thinks he is better than the people because he is smirking as he undresses in front of them. Another piece of evidence to show that cole thinks he is better than everyone is on page 5 and it says “Nothing could be farther from the truth. To cole this was another big game.” This clearly is showing that cole thinks he is better than everyone he takes everything as a game he doesn’t really realize what is

As a whole, I think that the creators of the film had a good grasp on what they wanted to portray to the audience since everything was rather simple to follow along and understand where the creator was coming from.

People like Cole who have gone through hard times and struggles know that facing adversity and succeeding is a hard process but it is possible. In the book Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen Cole has been facing adversity for a long time and taking his feelings out on others but after he beats up Peter Driscal his parents and the police think it's time for him to change. So they send him to an island but Cole doesn't want to change and causes problems for himself that he must solve later. Relationships, experiences, and the mindset of a person can be the difference between failing and succeeding in the face of Adversity. Everyone knows having positive relationships with people is vital to survival in the world.

For example, as Cole was lying helplessly on the ground he thinks a lot of what he has done in the past and he realizes he wants to live. “Suddenly in that moment, Cole made a simple decision. In death there was no control, no anger, no one to blame, no choices, no nothing. To be alive was to have choice. The power to choose was real power, not fake power of making others afraid” (Mikaelsen 83). After the attack, when Cole gets banished to the island for the second time, Cole doesn’t laze around after Garvey and Edwin leave. “Cole drove himself hard after Edwin and Garvey left, staying busy every waking minute of each day. If he had to spend a whole year on this island, he had no intention of living like an animal. Each morning, he soaked in the pond and carried the ancestor rock. Afternoons, he worked improving camp” (Mikaelsen 177). This demonstrates that he pushes himself so he can get off the island and probably try to change his reputation from a mean and scary boy to a changed boy. At the end of the novel it’s easy to tell that Cole has changed a lot and this is an example that he has mastered the task of

One of the ways why cinematography made the film was the lighting. To get the feel, the lighting appeared to be fake shadows that were painted on the set. The fake shadows that were painted on the set gave the lighting appeared to be harsh and sharper to set the mood for the audience. If it weren’t for the painted shadows, the movie wouldn’t have been so successful in the horror genre. Since it was a silent movie, if it weren’t for the shadows, you wouldn’t of seen it as a horror film, but as an original film that was trying to be creative.

It didn't have the same appeal to it when you watch a movie. The suspense and emotion just didn't project from page to the screen. The people who worked on the film, they got a lot of things right. They got the characters, the world, the feel alright. They changed the plot, of course, and missed various things out, adding others in their place.

This movie was sorrowful and some parts terrifying, for example, when the Jews getting killed for no reason, just because they were Jewish. These aspects were affective in the movie because it helps the movie look more realistic and more historical. The creators do a good job capturing empathy because the audience knew who were the characters and knew what was going on, most of the audience were hooked on it.

The imagination that went into the creation of the story line of this film keeps me in awe. This is the film that we have been waiting to watch for years. Ghost and masked killer films are scary but, that is what all directors are producing now. To see Fede Alvarez

Phenomenal Acting and a jaw dropping storyline are the foremost reasons why The Departed is by all means a spectacular movie. This film will go down as one of the best crime thrillers of the 21th century. Many viewers of this movie will find themselves astonished as the storyline roller-coaster’s around making twists and turns never expected. Some may question the vulgar language and intense violence but if you are a person who’s easily offended, simply do

Another aspect of this film is that it is in black and white. This gives it a serious tone. The lighting they used also gave a dramatic effect. There is a scene where two gentlemen are talking but you can see Kane dancing in the reflection of the window. This reminds the audience that he is still important to the scene even though he isn't directly involved. This

The film itself was very intense in the ways it made suspense by using certain camera angles and lengthy cuts. During the film, there was something very ominous about the way the camera shot was taken when it was following Danny on his toy bicycle. When the camera followed him down the lengthy hallways, I was always suspecting something to pop out behind each
