Film Review (The Money Pit)

The Money Pit is a love comedy directed by Richard Benjamin in 1986. This movie was performed humorously by Tom Hanks who usually perform comedy. The movies he has performed before were The Man with One Red Shoe, Splash, Bachlor and etc. Tom Hanks and Shelley Long play Anna and Walter, a young couple just married. They spend most of their time dealing with managing their new house. The performed the unstable love of the couple clearly. Alexander Godunov plays Mac, the antagonist who interests in Anna and created conflict between the young couple by lying or saying that Anna slept with him when she was drunk. The plot of the story is not very special, but the actors use funny expressions and skill to deal with the unstable house to make the movie more interesting. Sometimes Tom Hanks is over acting and they exaggerate to make the house look very unstable. For example, the house when the main character Walter runs through the stairs to the second floor, all of the stairs collapse. They also put special sounds to go with amusing performance to make the movie funnier. The Money Pit is produced by a humorous technique, to show the love of a new couple. The conflict that created by Max was easily, and could really happen to young couples who have unstable love or have just entered a marriage. This movie is fit for young couples who in the summer age group. One special thing I like this movie is its music, it sound pretty active and full of liveliness, just like people during the summer

    In the story the author used both reality and fantasy ( the supernatural being that took over the house) to create a sense of eeriness. The characters spend their days doing normal things like cleaning and knitting, and acting like absolutely nothing is wrong, which is an example of a recognizable character. Everything in the house is according to the narrator, “nothing special”, which is a great example of one of the key elements, a realistic setting. While the characters are acting as nothing is wrong, a supernatural being is beginning to take over the house, and eventually completely takes over the entire house. Throughout the entire story the characters keep an uninterested tone, they always seem to be calm. The author’s use of these elements in the story helps it to be an excellent example of the Magical Realism…

    First, the structure of the story reflects Anna's state of mind. The events in the story seem to take place with a total disregard for timekeeping. The opening sequence occurs when Anna sees a familiar face at the theater. This is her second encounter with the man, who is her lover, and she is immediately overwhelmed with a feeling of sickness. Yet, when she goes home her mind passes over him while she is with her husband and it is made apparent that the man she saw was at one time her lover. She seems completely confused as to who she really cares for, often blurring the two men in her thoughts. Then, the story flashes back to several months prior. This time Anna is in Nantucket trying to collect herself after leaving her husband. The back-story to their affair is given in the explanation of how they met and how they spend their time. The chronology is again thrown out as the storyline makes a jump forward to what was supposed to be their last meeting. Anna expects her lover to understand that she must go back to her secluded world and he must go back to his, but he doesn't seem to want that for them. Anna, since the start of this affair, has been indecisive and confused, but as the story moves she grows out of touch with herself and the rest of the world. She alarms herself when she looks in the mirror.…

    Almost always there is conflict of some sort in any movie and in Two For The Money, each of the characters are in definite conflict with their inner demons as they each struggle with their own addictions. The characters are predictable in this film; however, that does not in any way make it a boring film. The actors in this film are all very believable in their roles and do an excellent job in creating their characters. Al Pacino plays the part of Walter Abrams who ironically does have a gambling problem in which he struggles to overcome, and as usual, his personality comes through creating a character that is larger than life and very intense. Mathew McConaughey plays the part of Brandon Lang and does a stellar job at impersonating the real Brandon Lang. Brandon struggles with his dysfunctional relationship with his father and the everyday struggles and stress related to his job. Rene Russo plays the part of Walter Abrams supportive wife and fits in the best she can. Her character is not given much to do. She also struggles with her addiction, as she is a recovering…

    Anna Leonowens (Jodie Foster) is a British widow who has come to Siam with her son Louis (Tom Felton) to teach English to the dozens of children of King Mongkut (Chow Yun-fat). She is a strong-willed, intelligent woman, and this pleases the King, who wants to modernize his country to keep it safe from the threat of colonialism, while protecting many of the ancient traditions that give Siam its unique identity. The King and Anna discuss the differences between Eastern and Western love, and the King dismisses the notion that a man can be happy with only one wife. In order to win the favors of Britain, the King orders a sumptuous reception and delegates Anna to organize it. During the reception, the King verbally spars graciously and wittily with Sir Mycroft Kincaid (Bill Stewart), of the East India Company, who accuses Siam of being a superstitious nation. At the end of the reception, the King dances with Anna.…
