The Revenant is a splendid and inspiring story that does not give a minute to withdraw eyes while the film is playing. 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 …show more content…
As for me, it is impossible to imagine a more powerful acting performance. With no doubts, DiCaprio proved that he is a talented actor long ago, ever since his teen roles. His Hugh Glass is a man of few words. During the movie, actor utters only a few replicas, but that is where a major professional challenge lies. DiCaprio brilliantly handles the needed tasks - he spits blood, he eats raw fish and liver, he sleeps in the carcass of a horse, he kills, steals, runs, and all this is performed at the highest acting level. Glass managed to represent so many things, and while he is mostly alone on his journey, he is often hampered by circumstances and paired against characters that touch on a measure of recurring themes and conflicts (“The Revenant Ending And How It Differs From History | Page 3”). Brilliant Tom Hardy played a role of John Fitzgerald, who was not just a villain but also a vile murderer of the Hugh’s son. Will Poulter played a role of boyish Jim Bridger, who was deceived by Fitzgerald and left Glass in the grave, was definitely too young for such kind of expeditions. To add, there was an equitable and brave Andrew Henry, played by Domhnall Gleeson - noble and purposeful leader of the group. However, these ones are only the most visible characters, and yet there are plenty of hunters and Indians who quickly erased the glamorous image of the Wild West. It can be said that America in The Revenant is a sort of a purgatory, …show more content…
I chose this movie because it is a great film that has the power to convey the unimaginable. This is a movie that can make the viewer not only to watch it, but to experience every moment of it. Probably, it is not kind of the film that makes one want to start one’s life all over, but definitely transports the viewer to another time and place, while always maintaining its worth as a piece of visual art. I looked up some information about The Revenant. From The Telegraph article I learned that Iñárritu’s decision to film in the remote wilds of Alberta, Canada, brought a number of challenges. With no cellphone signal, the production relied on messages relayed by snowmobiles. However, the real enemy for DiCaprio and the cast was the cold, with temperatures rarely making it above -30C. For a river-set scene in which the fleeing expeditionary party comes under attack from Native Americans, he had to dive into the freezing river repeatedly. Likewise, I found out that to recreate Glass’s wounds and deteriorating physical condition, the make-up department covered DiCaprio in forty-seven separate prosthetic pieces, the fitting of which had the actor rising at 3 a.m. for a four-to-five-hour make-up session every day before a two-hour drive along unpaved tracks to the film’s remote location. As it was mentioned above, DiCaprio had to eat raw liver notwithstanding that he has been a vegetarian since 1992 (“Why Was The Revenant
Introduction 13th is Avan DuVernary’s documentary produced in 2016 which explores intersection of justice, race and mass incarceration in the United States. It is named after slavery was prohibited and the slaves freed through the thirteenth Amendment of the United States constitution which was resolved by the house of the representative and the senate in the Congress assembly. The amendment stated that, “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdictions.” The video starts by showing an African man imprisoned and others being arrested for imprisonment by the police. It shows how racism
The visual reenactments along with varying narrations of the events provided an engaging format that accurately and effectively informed the viewers of the struggle by French Canadians and rebels to overcome British colonial powers. The content also provides an objective view of the events by discussing first hand accounts of both British and French Canadian during these dark times. Moreover, the chronologically formatted order helps the viewer maintain a sense of progression and setbacks made the Parti Patriote rebellion. For instance, it establishes the motives for rebellion in the beginning of the film by describing the colonial imposed hardships faced by French Canadians within urban and rural areas of Upper and Lower Canada. Sequentially, the rise of the Parti Patriote follows the lack of support from the British monarch, and the rejection to establish a republic and self-governing state.

The Rated R drama/adventure film directed by Alejandro Iñàrritu and produced by the following companies: Regency Enterprises, RatPac Entertainment, and New Regency Pictures. The two minute and twenty-five second film illustrates the fact that every individual needs to survive on their own and trust no one. The trailer is composed of important scenes and the viewer gets a short understanding of the tone and color. The Revenant is not a comedy film, so don’t expect to laugh. John Fitzgerald starring Mad Max leading character Tom Hardy introduces the character as the antagonist.
The film Casablanca captures a romance during World War Two, in the far off city of Casablanca, Morocco. The movie’s cinematography and beautiful story pull the audience into a timeless classic, regarded as one of the best films of all time.

This essay will examine the functions and effects of cinematography in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws Jaws follows the police chief Brody, along with scientist Hooper and shark hunter Quint, in their attempt to protect the town of Amity against a Great White shark that is terrorising beachgoers. It was adapted from Peter Benchley’s 1974 novel of the same name. Following its release in summer 1975, Jaws became the highest grossing film As Jaws was one of the first motion pictures to be shot partially on water, the production came across issues with the prosthetic shark, and as a result, Spielberg decided to only suggest the appearance of the shark as often as possible, as opposed to showing the prosthetic body during attacks. This sparing use of the prosthetic, and primary focus instead on creating suspense and dread without the shark visibly present, proved to be an inspired decision, as Jaws is considered a pioneering achievement in the horror genre.
Rex is brought to life in this movie, as we truly see with description and we can see/hear with our own eyes and ears what he is like, which is not possible without the help of the
Stephen Holden stated in his review that “The film is so busy darting back and forth between past and present that from scene to scene its characters barely have time to breathe.” One
Dickerson, the cinematographer, won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Cinematography for this film. He was given this award for his ability to make it look like the same, excruciatingly hot day, even though it was filmed over a course of seven weeks with differing weather. From the character’s outfits to filming at the exact same time every day, he convinced the audience that it was the same blistering hot day. After I learned this, it made me rethink my view of his cinematography as a whole. While the angles might have been awkward, Dickerson did an impressive job persuading us it was within one 24-hour
This film has everything that you would see on any of the tropical Hawaiian Islands creating an aesthetic beauty. The characters in the film are very realistic to the native Hawaiian culture and also finds ways to join today’s world with theirs. The stubborn yet ambiguous Maui, played perfectly by Dwayne Johnson could not had a better actor for his part in the film. Everything felt so alive and real to the point where you felt like you were right next to them throughout their journey in the movie. The Ocean is so bright it looks better then real life water.
This movie was first released in theaters in 2000 and was directed by renowned German film director, Roland Emmerich. The film focused on historical events that occurred during the American Revolution,
“The Help”, is a comedy-laced drama about racially segregated Jackson, Mississippi and the tensions between upper class white households and the black “help”. The movie follows the lives of Aibileen and Minny, two black maids who work for the Leefolts and Holbrooks, respectively. They are approached by Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, a journalist who is looking to write a book about the racism and discrimination the help face working in white households. The book showcases the blatant racism that is characteristic of the American south in the 1960’s, showing it from the perspective of not only the oppressed or the oppressor, but also of the liberal middle man. This movie can catch the attention of anyone willing to watch it, because although it is seemingly geared towards the “chick flick” crowd, “The Help” is a movie that can entertain and intrigue any audience.
Mr. Robinson and Mr. Roe I’m sure are great actors how else would they get the parts that’s they did. I am just extremely happy with the director J Blakeson, he picked the people that I had imagined in my head when I was reading this
Initially, I thought that this film was nothing but another action thriller generated by Hollywood to earn the big bucks off of a topical project (the Cold War). But once I got further into the plot, I began to have a change of mind. There is no doubt that some serious effort was put into the production of this film. A sense of realism was established early on in the film, essentially laying the groundwork for the tone and plot. Serious line deliveries by Alec Baldwin, Sean Connery, and the rest of the cast contributed to this sense of realism by setting a tone of dread and suspense.
The movie was shown in the 1990. Tit tells us the true to life story of Oliver Sacks, a British neurologist. He discovered the effect of drug that help awakened the patients in 1969. There is a peculiar mental institution in Bronx where the patients may be compared to a plant, where the things they need are food and water which is similar to that of a plants need to survive. These patients were diagnosed with a rare disease that inhibits them to move as the desire.
