The pictures shown in this movie are still in black-and-white style as it was released in 1961. Actually the pictures were good, but viewers can not enjoy it fully as the black-and-white pictures will really bother them. It is the only weakness I can found in this movie and it is really unfortunate but it also still can be accepted as it was a 1961 movie. Talking about actors and actresses, they casted excellently in the movie. They did their job very well. As they did it very well, while watching we will feel tense, sad, happy, sometimes we will feel anger based on what is being shown in the screen. Based on its title, Judgment at Nuremberg, it’s not a kind of an entertaining movie. It’s a kind of a learning movie especially in purpose of law learning, historical learning, and political learning as it always talking about laws, justices, politics, history, and many more in relation with those aspects and very few times it shows the other aspect. So for those who are seeking the happiness and entertainment, this movie is not recommended. But for those who want to know more about law, tribunal, politics, and history, this movie is highly recommended as me myself rate this film 4,5 of

    1090 Words  | 5 Pages

    The novel A Separate Peace written by John Knowles exhibits a unique friendship between two teenagers, Phineas and Gene Forrester which takes a turn for the worst to turn into a silent one sided war of jealousy that ends in regret. The film created by Peter Yates is a good attempt at exhibiting the same storyline as the novel, but falls short of the clarity displaying major differences which makes the understanding of the storyline difficult and less enjoyable. Two major points affecting the storyline by setting and plot event include the chapter in which Phineas passes away, along with the part where he is taken to the infirmary which results in major differences in the film. The film and novel both display the same content, but they also share some differences in the setting which make the feelings of one hard to analyze.

Justice Jackson had a particular gift of being able to identify a dramatic moment and capitalize on it. One moment of this came at the end of the Nuremberg trials during his closing argument. He started the statement with comparing the Hitler to Shakespeare’s Richard III and then finished the beautiful statement by saying, “If you were to say of these men hat they are not guilty, it would be as true to say there has been no war, there are no slain, there has been no crime” (E. London 506). Justice Jackson successfully prosecuted the Nazi war criminals in a system that had never before been established.

This movie presents drastically new meaning to man-versus-nature drama, to a greater extent, because of the brilliant acting performance of Leonardo DiCaprio. The Revenant was directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu who, after the majestic success of Birdman in 2014 found an inspiration in the less civilized area, specifically, North America of the 1820s. The shooting took place in rough, freezing conditions and, what is more, most productions shoot for twelve hours a day minimum. Iñárritu and director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki were forced to shoot in a more fractured manner due to the creative choices made, notably shooting
