The Sandlot Review Sandlot was a great movie! It had humorous moments, and sad moments. Being honest, the characters were pretty good at acting for being kids. Yeah, there were a few parts in the movie that were a little cringe worthy, but a lot of it was laughter and moments where it was hard to look away! You’d like it if you were to watch it! This movie was directed by someone named David Evans. Scotty Smalls the main character, moved into a new neighborhood, made some new friends that loved
Retelling the Accepted Public Narrative The financial crisis of 2008 was an enormous catastrophe and therefore a perfect story to be adapted to film. Retelling the story of the collapse of Wall Street had a further result than merely being lucrative though. Movies like Inside Job (2010), Too Big to Fail (2011) and The Big Short (2015) also inform people about the causes and dealings of the financial collapse. Most importantly however, they evoke an emotional response by telling the audience where
Movies, we’ve all seen them, but during the depression these movies were so important to the daily life of those people. During the depression, movies were just getting pioneered and some classics emerged, such as The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. These movies along with many others meant so much to the people of the depression era because of what they really were. For the most part, people didn’t have the best living qualities during this era, hence the name “The Great Depression,” and movies
Improving an Action Scene Through Shooting Angles Action scenes are wasted when the angles remain static, and instead can be much more dramatic through the usage of both low, and high angles. Different shooting angles can express the tone, character, and tension in a scene, exaggerating the abilities and stakes at play. The constant trade off between High and low angles between the protagonist and antagonist generates a sense that the protagonist can fail, and this can make an action scene much
Entertainment in the 1930’s The 1930’s brought new forms of entertainment, most of which are still relevant today, but with incredible upgrades. During the Great Depression, people had to find ways to keep themselves busy, and keep themselves distracted from the hard life they were living. They wanted to keep away from dealing with the harsh reality of things. Many forms of entertainment became popular, such as baseball, football, movies, and the radio, and still thrive today, but with less of a
One of the activities I enjoy in my spare time is watching movies, I was drawn to this assignment which allowed me to experience two films I had not previously seen. I attempted to watch them both with the intent to see how they related to the course material. On my way to my grandparents’ house I picked up “Groundhog Day” as well as “Fight Club”. My grandparents were thrilled to spend time with me and got popcorn ready for our movie marathon. As we watched the two films it became very clear that
The Ups and Downs of Big Fish Let’s be honest: very seldom do films live up to the expectation set forth by the novels they are based on. Directors and screenwriters are faced with the dauntless task of condensing a very detailed novel into a film that is both budgeted and time constricted which often causes frustration within any viewer who has read the novel prior to watching the film. Although this is not often the fault of anyone who helped produce the movie, it still causes a plentiful amount
“Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different,” Stephen King. Since the birth of the cinematography, two of the most prevalent forms of art have been at war, film and literature. Their fighting words can usually be summed up in modern day scenarios by a single phrase, “the book/movie was way better.” The debate ranges through various types of people like writers, filmmakers, readers, critics, and investors amongst others. It seems that whatever
Film is about showing your perspective, but it is also a business. The film industry has always had this struggle between artists and producers which affects the final product that is delivered to the audience. Besides the people involved in making each movie, there are also different film companies all over the world with many more perspectives and ideas that are fought over throughout the time it takes to make one movie. In history and in the film industry there is a battle between Western and
