The Commute of Baby Driver
Most people try to go into a film with no expectations, it is the most efficient way to consume a theme of a movie. If you have happened to make the mistake of overestimating the quality of a film, thinking you will learn something from the experience you have set yourself up for failure. Now, if you go into a movie expecting nothing, you have nothing to lose but the time you spent watching the film. I made the error of expecting a little bit more from the infamous director Edgar Wright, who has a relatively spotless track record directing classics like Hot Fuzz, Shaun of The Dead, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Don’t get me wrong Edgar Wright did a lot of great things in Baby Driver, but after you look past the interesting take on the action heist genre mixed with musical elements, it leaves a lot to be desired.

He was adopted by a deaf man named Joe, probably because their similar disability. To drown out the ringing in his ears he listens to music, which the audience can hear, and that sometimes coordinates with the events of the film. We also learn from the opening of the film that the music also helps to distract Baby from his job as the get-away driver for a team of bank heisters. Baby needs that distraction because he has a good conscious and truly doesn’t like to see people get hurt. Why would Baby be in that line of work then? It is because when as a child he stole his now bosses Mercedes Benz and destroyed it, because of this Baby is indebted to his boss, Doc. We then get to the place of the film when the protagonist meets the love of his life Debra, a waitress at a dinner, who also wants to "get away". When Baby finishes paying off his debt he wants out, but Doc is not finished with him

The Business of Being Born is a documentary that focuses on mothers who decide to go with Midwives instead of Obstetrician Gynecologist (OBGYN). This film focus on the stories of a few women explaining why they choose to go with a midwife verus a OBGYN.in the film each woman explains that using a midwife provided them with the chance to feel closer to their baby. One thing I learned from the film in the first day, is that the 1/3 of births in the United States are now cesarian section (C-Section). A C-Section is a surgical procedure that involves the women getting their children surgically removed. This procedure is proven to be safe but can cause the women to have a longer recovery time and less bonding with their children.

Director Seth Gordon seems to have completely checked out with all of this. His movie has no pace, no tone to connect with. He wants to have it nasty and gross-out funny, but he also has dramatic moments and his silly drug/crime subplot. There are action sequences, shot against such obvious and unintentionally terrible CGI, you realize this is an outright failure on every

Although Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive were made 35 years apart, both films are very similar. Both movies share a common theme, narrative, acting and tone, but are different in lighting and camera technique. Both films are told from the point of view of male characters. The films center on a man who’s job revolves around driving: Taxi Driver‘s, Travis Bickle, is a former marine who served in Vietnam but comes back to New York and takes up a job as a taxi driver, hence the name of the film. Drive‘s, Driver, portrayed by Gosling, is a movie stunt double that moonlights as a driver in the criminal underworld.
Baby gets the idea that she is being used by Alphonse for sex, but he is the only adult figure in her life; she forces herself to believe that their love is true. Eventually Alphonse forces Baby to become a prostitute for him and his other friends. Baby has definitely lost her innocence because she’s battling between childhood and the adult world. Baby is no longer a typical twelve year old. Prostitution is something that a twelve year old shouldn’t be doing. At this point it shows that although Baby is a child, she has the mindset of an adult.
Baby is put in make you feel excited when there’s a car chase going on and on edge when he’s put in danger by the other cast such as Jamie Foxx’s very intimidating character Bats. Character such as he, Buddy and Griff made me feel very intimidated and worried for the fate of Baby and his girlfriend Debra, played by Lily James. I’d love to see this movie again just to take a little bit of the stress off by already knowing the plot and being to again enjoy the exciting car chases and thrilling shoot

Throughout the first year of life we do not know how to communicate, what to do or even who we are. We expect our mothers or caregivers to be there and give us the supplies and attention we need to succeed during the first year of life. The movie Babies captures the growth of a baby in their first year of life. Ponijao is a baby from a Namibia is located in the west south side of Africa. Another baby is Mari from Japan, Hattie from the United States and the final baby showed in the movie is Bayarjagal from Mangolia. Out of all babies the one that stood out to me the most was Bayarjagal because in the movie we do not see the mother around very much and even less a father figure. In the next two to three years there is a possibility the baby will have a mental health issues especially in attachment and in speech. Bayarjagal is a baby from Mangolia which is an Asian country. The family lives in a rural area with cattle and other animals. The baby throughout the movie does not seem bothered by them because that is their normal life.
Across the varying regions of Namibia, Japan, Mongolia, and the United States, Babies portrays the different settings in which babies are raised. Through alternating scenes, the film provides a side-by-side comparison of each infant’s development specifically related to their interaction with the environment. The film displays how each baby meets specific milestones through the first months of life, and exemplifies the role that culture and location plays in the stages of their maturation.
Baby want’s nothing but a stable and nurturing home environment but Jules is unable to provide the basic necessities for her. In Contemporary Liberalism and the Fate of American Children David L. Tubbs writes “Children depend on adults for many things, and this dependence encompasses more than material needs. Certain intangible goods—education, for example—are just as crucial to their well-being.”(Tubbs, 2007, 1) This idea is especially true in lullabies for little criminals where the emotional bond Baby yearns for, her younger father is unable to provide. This lack of caring for his daughter can also be seen when he is taken away by the police, leaving Baby stranded and confused, “As the cop car pulled away, I waved to Jules in the backseat. He had been too distracted to even notice me being hit by a car” (O’Neill, 57). As a child, Baby has learned to be self reliant and independent. Nonetheless Baby witnessing her father 's run in with the law profoundly affects her attitude towards the law as she herself becomes a prostitute and an addict. Despite the fact that Jules does not seem to care about Baby’s well being, she rationalizes his inadequate parenting as simply lack of experience. Throughout the novel Baby chooses to make decisions that are not in her best interest simply because that 's all that she knows. It is this lack of guidance that paves the way for Baby’s poor decision
Unlike most films, Baby Driver integrates sound and cinematography in a unique manner, creating a symphonic orchestra of film composition. The initial heist and getaway of the film is a prime example of how audible and visual filmmaking can have such a large influence on each other, creating a piece of cinema that is driven by a distinct beat. Although in most films no actions are arbitrary, Baby Driver takes this premise to an entirely different level, directing every action to sync with the music in the scene: whether it be diegetic or non-diegetic to the character. Within the first five minutes of the film, the audience is introduced to the characters, setting, plot, and general motivations of the story without any dialogue. The opening scene employs a brilliantly creative combination of cinematography, music, and directing to convey the characters’ location, purpose, and emotion. This scene also sets the mood and tone for the rest of the movie. Director Edgar Wright and Director of Photography Bill Pope’s manipulation of mise-en-scène—through the use of sound, shot composition, and direction—creates a masterful scene of cinema that captivates the audience, pulling them into the world of crime and the story of a reluctant getaway driver. Each shot and beat is perfectly paired with a specific purpose to communicate the story to the audience. As a result, the opening scene of Baby Driver is an archetypal example of how to communicate a story to an audience without any
