The movie portrays our planet in some unspecified time in the future which we are running out of food, people are starving and on the possibility of an interstellar voyage utilizing a worm hole, becomes an opportunity for Matthew in search for a possible inhabitable world. The entire space travel mission was incredible, the CGI was seamless and became part of the environment. The movie is a total emotional fit, Anne Hathaway was brilliant in the movie around with all the visual treats your eyes are getting, but McConaughey is the anchor that brings this movie back down to earth and he was terrific in the movie, the space sequences were mind-blowing. But according to a few critics, the end came off too convenient and seemed like a perfectly
The intrigue was right there, courtesy of a commendable and compelling performance by Oscar Isaac. In contrast, Garrett Hedlund’s character is not on equal footing, and is far too dry to compete with an eccentric drifter with nothing to lose. In all honestly, William Monohan’s script and directing capabilities aren’t completely without merit – although Mojave is nowhere near as captivating as his career gem, The Departed. Still, this protagonist versus antagonist narrative could have used a fine tooling – unless this mirror image plot was meant to confuse viewers about who’s the good guy and who’s the bad guy (a question that’s even present by Isaac’s character in the film at one point). In the end, Mojave does earn a recommendation, if for no other reason that it puts the true talent of Oscar Isaac on display.
Overall, I thought this film was very informative and I learned a lot. It was very interesting. The film opened my eyes to a new world that I had never seen before. It informed me on history that I had no idea about.
The movie may be troublesome to watch for some viewers, even though the content containing neglect is reduced. Although several people may already have exposure to this and it may have no affect them, other people may experience some recurring memories or find the idea of the events happening to emotionally straining. This book can be harsh to some viewers due to it's raw and uncovered truth. Despite the people that could handle this image, there will still be several adults and children that find this too intense. The movie does soak up a fair amount of the more
As Jim Valvano said, the NC team, taught us about hope, dreaming big, Persistence-never giving up, and love. We can all take something away from this film. I enjoyed the way the film was put together, there was no narrator, but archival footage, the team 30 years on, and footage of Jim Valvano was used. This is really effective as it allows you to experience the journey from many perspectives, provides insight into the team, all which add an incredible depth, a level of interest and meaning to the film, as well as allowing the viewer a unique insight into what it was like in 1983. I did, however, feel that the inclusion of Jim Valvano being pushed out of his job was unnecessary and it felt a little out of context and disjointed from the rest of the film.
Anne Moody, through her sudden understanding of the extreme amounts of unfair treatment and pre-decided opinions that African Americans endure; she created an unforgettable image of the inequalities and violence that branded Southern, Black Humanity. Through her own envelopment, she shows why the Civil Rights Movement was such a requisite. In this essay I am going to be discussing how prejudice plays a role in Moody’s life growing up, how blacks and whites had different experiences with prejudice, and how that shaped their behavior, as well as how prejudice goes hand in hand with the two other themes of the book, gender, and poverty. Moody’s important early childhood experiences weren’t all that great. Her uncle, George Lee, would watch her
In the story Walter doesn't really have a goal, he just drives around and does chores for his wife, this triggers different daydreams from his boredom depending on the location. This causes the ending to be a day dream and makes it lackluster. In the movie the ending is much better as it is a happi r and clearer ending. The movie ends with our main characters walking off to the park, “ you want to go to the park with me?”. This adds a better story telling experience due to the fact the reader isn't confused on what
Although I want to say the movie was better just because Leonardo Decaprio was in it. In my honest opinion, I don’t know why Decaprio won an Oscar for this movie rather than all the other amazing movies that he’s previously acted in, such as Titanic, or the Aviator. His acting is always great, but I think he won the Oscar for the sake of winning it, because it was due time. He was nominated many times before, but for some reason failed to win.
The way it explores these themes has been applauded by critics and reviewers worldwide, as it sheds light on the systemic racism and the lived experiences of Black individuals in America. As a critic of the movie, I find the ending of the movie to be unrealistic. After all of the tensions and injustice shown throughout the movie, the ending seems to provide a simplistic and optimistic resolution to the complex issues it addresses. It seems too quick to be able to jump to a happy ending when Khalil's murder goes unpunished and the deep-rooted issues of racism persist. However, as a viewer, the movie was brilliant in its ability to spark conversations and create awareness about the ongoing struggles of racial inequality in society.
The movie itself was okay, but Percival decisions to lessen the character of the storyteller, Death, to leave out parts of Max’s character as a fighter and the beginning of his friendship with the man who spared his life, and to changes the circumstances in which the mayor and his wife quit using Rosa to wash their clothing, ultimately destroy the movie. Death, the narrator, describes the souls he collects and the reader hears him throughout the book, always there, but
While the show progressed well, the end didn’t bring as satisfying a conclusion as it could
The finale of the movie keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. The ending is nothing less than incredible. The climax of the movie is frank and rough, and touches the deepest parts of your heart. Overall, “End of Watch” is truly a masterpiece unlike any other crime fiction films.
Formal Analysis of the movie, "Passengers" (2016) It’s a bit of a shame that the new Jennifer Lawrence / Chris Pratt movie Passengers got so slammed by critics. It’s not that I disagree with the consensus take on it, but I didn’t see as much engagement with what the movie was saying prior to the collapse at the end as I might have liked. It is indeed true that the movie instill a feeling of “being lost”. The end is a huge mess that undermines the rest of what has happened to that point, but through the first and second acts, it’s a pretty interesting movie with some provocative and intense ideas.
The characters in the movie get very emotional about how much time they spent away from their families and the film shows how Cooper 's family lost faith in the possibility of his return. The concept of time is what makes this movie very appealing. It makes the audience feel in touch with the characters and feel bad for them. It makes us feel engaged in the movie and that is an enjoyable
The camera was rotating around her, which built the intensity of the scene and symbolized Katherine’s emotions, that everything was spinning out of control. Spielberg finally ended the movie with a powerful and intriguing cliffhanger which leads to the possibility of a sequel. This film also presented the viewers with a variety of themes. There was strong sense of feminism through Katherine Graham.
Overall, minus a few hiccups, I greatly enjoyed this movie. The three aspects that most grabbed my attention becoming the sources of my enjoyment were character portrayal, the symbolism used in almost every scene, and connections to my own life experiences. I have always been a great supporter of the idea that characters are what makes a film great, for they are the basis of any narrative and prove to be one of the most
