Planet Of The Apes
The original film, Planet of the Apes (1968) was not that creditable or featured an interesting narrative. It had complicated character dialogues and unneeded scenes and the continuity was not composed correctly, especially when understanding how the spaceship crash-landed on earth, when traveling far away from earth. Cinematographer has applied a statistic movement technique for crash-landing at the beginning of the scene, making the movement of the spaceship look unrealistic. The performance of all the cast members wasn’t interesting as it was more humorous than serious science fiction or post-apocalyptic themed film. The girl (Nova) who falls in love with the Protagonist does not support the main character to accomplish his goal and distracts

    The style of the film can be debated and compared with the style of the original Planet of the Apes (1968), directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. Matt Reeves decided to focus more on the apes being the central part of the story. “The organic scope of the digitized character creation is breathtaking, using the technology to tell the story from the point of view of the apes, who remain the primary focus of the narrative.”(Kermode, 2014) Mark Kermode even goes on to say, “From its origins… to this state-of-the art 21st-century 3D-CG cinema outing, the darkly satirical Apes saga has proved both resilient and flexible.” (Kermode, 2014) A. O. Scott describes the cinematic quality of the film as having a type of grave, almost brooding beauty about it,…

    For my verbal-visual collage, I chose to read the book The Monkeyface Chronicles by Richard Scarsbrook. Richard is a Canadian author who attended Western University where he earned an Honours BA in history. He also attended U of Ottawa and received his Bachelor of Education. Richard published his book the Monkeyface Chronicles in 2010. I chose to read this book for my project because it was recommended by the library staff at NT. Also, the novel won the Ontario Library Association’s White Pine Award in 2011. The White Pine Award is an annual literature award that has awarded young adult novels since 2002. Other books like Little Brother by Cory Doctorow and Mostly Happy by Pam Bustin have also received White Pine Awards.…

    Dawn Of The Apes Satire

    • 565 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, is a sequel, to a prequel, to a reboot, of The Planet of the Apes franchise (get all that?). The original Planet of the Apes movie released in 1968 was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, about how in the future humans were replaced by apes as top dog on earth, and humans were stooped down to wild dumb animals like apes used to be. This film was rebooted twice, the second reboot being a prequel to how apes ended up taking over called Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a sequel to Rise, and takes place in a time where humans have been infected with a disease called simian flu, which causes the human population to quickly decline. Only a small fraction of the population still exists,…

    Raiders of the Lost Ark

    • 909 Words

    I have chosen to evaluate a scene from Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark where Indiana and Sallah uncover the Well of Soles where the lost ark is hidden. We open the scene at 57:03 with Indiana leading a team of diggers up a hill to the spot where they will dig for the ark. As the scene opens we hear the diegetic sounds of the diggers and commotion taking place in the background. We also hear non-diegetic music that will be referred to as the “ark theme” playing as Indiana climbs the hill and has his men start to dig for the ark. The slow and sort of creepy tone that makes up the ark theme reminds us of the continuing quest for the ark and also that the ark may very well be close by. At 58:00, the non-diegetic music briefly cuts for about four seconds but then picks up once again as Indiana turns around to whistle for his men to start digging. As the digging begins, the music picks up and gets louder and louder. The rise in the non-diegetic music builds the suspense and excitement of the scene and foreshadows the big discovery that lies ahead. At 58:26 the scene dissolves into a shot of the dig site from afar. Although the non-diegetic music ended, we pick up with the diegetic music or sound of the tune that the workers hum as they dig. We can also hear the diegetic sounds of the wind howling and we see the sun setting in the background showing us that a cold night is approaching. The coloring from the sun set gives the shot a feel that something great is about to happen yet provides a sense of mystery for those who don’t know what is to come. In this shot we cannot see a detailed view of our characters, rather just the shadows of the digging men and Indy. We are easily able to pick out Indy despite only being able to see character shadows simply because we see him put on his trademark hat which he is famous for wearing. At 58:44 the shot cuts to yet…

    Is that it does not take itself too seriously, it is funny, has action, cool looking tech, good actors, and good FX. I really enjoyed the “odd couple” relationship between Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as displayed onscreen. Some of my favorite scenes were the use of the memory-wiper, a cool device to have to make people forget something, and the epic, exploding flying saucer scene at end of the film was awesome to watch. Moreover, of course, the very ending of the film showing our own Milky Way galaxy is merely a prized marble used on a board game by huge pan-denominational beings outside our own reality of the universe. This film is great on all accounts and much more appreciated then the films that came later in the…

    Raiders of the Lost Ark, directed by Steven Spielberg, was released in 1981 and was one of many great films with the acting role for Harrison Ford. This thrillingly comical adventure film where Dr. Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford (aka Han Solo) is a professor of archaeology and expert in ancient artifacts. He is hired by the American Government to find the Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to hold the ten commandments. Unfortunately, Germans located the site of the ark of the covenant, thinking it to contain a vast amount of destructive power which Hitler wants to use to pursue his goal of global conquest.

    12 Monkey's, directed by Terry Gilliam, stars Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe, and Brad Pitt. This movie is a wonderful science fiction film wrapped around time travel. The theme of the movie has to do with society's perception of insanity. Throughout the film the viewer is plagued with questions of whether or not the main character, James Cole (Bruce Willis) is actually from the future or perhaps is just insane and suffering from delusions. This theme is thrown in with an amazing plot of time travel.…

    The Art of filmmaking and the craft of storytelling in War for the Planet of the Apes, which is directed and written by Matt Reeves, showed unleashing rapidly evolving apes into a world boiling over with divisions and rage as the ape versus human battle for controlling the world towards the ultimate winner. Matt Reeves’ War for the Planet of the Apes is one of the richest works of the 20th century because it offers many environmental philosophy and ethics which we can extract from the movie such as anthropocentrism and biocentrism, deep ecology and stewardship component on animals.…

    Jurassic Park

    Technology is one of our most beloved pieces of ongoing history, but does it cause more harm than it does help? In the film Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg portrays the theme technology as an evil force to be reckoned with. Spielberg shows this through the plot, characters, and dialogue. Technology is a major theme because other than the hidden context that viewers have to seek it is everywhere in the film. A viewer thinks of technology as a helping hand, shortcut, or an advance of human nature, but in the film it is portrayed as something that should not be used to try and control nature. Also the complete opposite of what you would normally think, it will not work in your favor.…
