Overall, I think that this group did a good job covering this movie. Even though there were a couple small things that I had issues with, I really did not have much of a complaint with their job. I thought that part six deserved the rating of “Good” for on large reason. I think that they should have mentioned more about the unique role that Judas Iscariot filled in this movie. I thought it very strange how Judas was actually working with Jesus to betray him. I think that the author of this story took some liberties with this idea. I also think that it should have been mentioned that Judas seems to have been portrayed in a very different light than he was in the Bible. Part seven, I felt, justly earned the rating of “Good” because of the many of the small details that were found. For example, I thought the catch on the fact that John the Baptist should have been the same age as Jesus since they were born within months of each other was very good. I also think that it should have been mentioned how Judas was portrayed past his historical lifespan. I believe that Judas committed suicide before Jesus was even put in front of the Pilate. While this group …show more content…
I think that their realization that our reactions to different situations have become less extreme is quite accurate. As a country, we are becoming more lenient on many issues.
I gave part ten a rating of “Good” because of the way I think that Jesus would react to this film. I do not think that Jesus would be naïve enough to not recognize the demonic qualities of the child angel at the end. I thought John Michael put it succinctly in that Jesus would have recognized that anyone who tells him that he is not the Messiah is against him and is probably related to Satan in some way. This is where I disagree with Alex on the thought that this depiction was an accurate representation of Jesus’
Overall this book was very, very good. It teaches good morals in interesting ways, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who would like a good, nonfiction read. There are many memoirs but this one is sure to leave an impression on you. In other news, Paramount took the liberty of purchasing the film rights to The Glass Castle, a movie that should be extremely interesting in the coming years. I hope they do a good
I think that this work is a very well put together book. Even though In the earlier questions I make it sound like a ten on ten this book is not. I rate this book a 9/10 for the soul reason that it was on a very directed path and you could the events that were going to happen before they did by just reading the book. Even the twist that the author put in were not that book which made some of the book predictable and who really wants a book in which they know everything that is going to happen.
Firstly, I would like to say that overall the film by all standards was not at all bad. When one thinks of a foreign film you might think of a really bad, poorly edited, or low funded film. With the major reason for it being foreign, the obvious reason being that it was not made in Hollywood. However, this movie takes all of the preconceptions about foreign films and turns it upside down. With a budget of nearly 5 million dollars (Instructions), and only being filmed in two locations in Mexico the movies overall quality is actually quite astounding. Furthermore, I would like to commend the directors and editors on doing Hollywood level job, creating and making the final product as it is better then something you might see in a low budget jaws knock off made here in the United States.
As an American in the late 1800's, owning a farm was not too uncommon, especially if that farm was located in Mexico. At this time, though, Mexico was in the Porfirian Era (1876-1911). In this certain era, Mexico was being encountered by two very different cultures at the same time: the industrial, and the traditional. These distinctively separate cultures impacting Mexico made it as what can be described as "backwards" in a sense, as Mexico was practically regressing as the world around it was moving on to bigger and better things. Mexico was so behind that "many had concluded that Mexico had yet to advance beyond chipped rocks as utensils." (p.67). Mexico at this time had locked itself in
The production was much a success for the most part. It was definitely worthwhile, I encouraged a few people to go and in the near future will encourage more people to go and experience stories, movies and others as such come to life.
There are people that agree with that and many that didn’t think that it was so great. It was nice to know the background information on each of the character. This helped me know why they were there and why they would stay to risk their lives. It was clear that some of the members did not accept Skinner because of his color at first. It was nice to see everyone bond and even accept him and even apologize to him. They my not have liked each other at first, but at the end they risked their lives for each other. I also enjoyed the scenes with the dogfights. I was on the edge of my seat during everyone of those scenes hoping that none of them dould die and that they would defeat the enemy. I was sad whenever one of the members of the squadron died. I think that i felt this way because of their stories and how they all got so close. It would be horrible to lose someone that someone would risk their life to save. I would say that this team is kinda of like the team in Fast and Furious because they may be very different but at the end of the day they would risk their lives for each other. It was nice that there was kind of a love story also thrown into the movie. It provided sort of a break from all the war and sadness. It was funny when Rawlings was trying to impress the children and the girl he liked. It was also sweet when he tried to learn French for her, and she tried to learn English for him. I feel that this
My final rating of the movie is three out of five stars because the sound effects were pretty good. The camera movements were good. The fight scenes were realistic and the characters didn’t fit their description but played their part
Yet to me, someone belonging to the youngest generation of Americans, these events have become normal. That’s not to say I don’t think the conflict happening across the world is horrifying—I do—or that I don’t have sympathy and compassion for the people affected—I do. It’s simply the situation that’s always been going on, and I’ve grown used to it because I’ve never known anything else.
The current economic struggles affecting our nation as well as the controversial conflicts abroad have arguably caused a shift in the nation’s politics. Whereby, the Right has become more conservative and the Left, more liberal. Farhad Manjoo discusses this in his book, True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society. Manjoo purports that, “No longer are we merely holding opinions different from one another; we’re also holding different facts. Indeed, you can go so far as to say we’re now fighting over competing versions of reality.” If the news of ‘today’ is being interpreted in such different ways, I believe that it speaks in magnitude to the way we must be viewing the news of ‘yesterday.’
“When the official reaction to a person, group of persons or series of events is out of all proportions to the actual threat offered, when “experts” perceive the threat in all but identical terms, and appear to talk “with one voice” of rates, diagnoses, prognoses, and solutions, when the media representations universally stress “sudden and dramatic” increases (in numbers involved or events) and “novelty”, above and beyond which a sober, realistic appraisal could sustain.” (page 86)
The film itself is a documentary, meaning every moment has historically happened. The film is full of facts and elements that touches the heart. A reliable christian company has produced the movie, and has won many awards making it trustworthy. Though there are some facts there are also drama and opinions. Glady the movie uses facts to prove their opinions. The design of the movie feels very organized and formal. The film is a reliable source for the movie itself is just a visual record of historical events.
The film was well made and appeared to be a pretty authentic representation of the minimal amount of information that they was trying to get across. While to actions of the Islamic Empire against their own kind might have been shown to be slightly violent, I think the actions of the empire against outsiders and conquered areas might have been played down a bit. Positive spin was definitely placed upon the contributions made by the Empire. While I am not saying these additions to world society were not great, I am sure there was more than enough conflict in the Empire to place a counterpoint somewhere in the film if it had been desired. The cinema experience was pleasant, with the quality of the cut scenes done with attention to detail. The narration by Ben Kingsley was spot on and he is always a good listen. I would however like to see a bit more
eloquent, forceful, realistic, honest, and inspirational. Only those people who watched through their masks of hate can say otherwise. There were many highpoints for me and below are
Discuss how the title helped to explain some aspect of Jesus’ character or role and why that would be attractive to the audience of the writer.
There was nothing in the movie that made the religion bad or not good in any way. The music in the movie also played a role, it gave it the positivity.
