Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker could have never imagined her movie winning six academy awards. While the opinion from the audience played a role in these winnings, the technical aspect of the movie all the way down to the first shot of the movie, played the biggest role in this achievement. Bigelow used things such as moving camera shots, camera angles, lighting, and the use of long shots to create a realistic feel throughout the movie.…
I would assume the movies he has directed have been very good to have received these awards and nominations. As for the actors, I believe they did an excellent job overall. The only parts I have mixed feelings about were how the deaths were acted out. It took away from the movie for me personally because they did not seem realistic. Instant blood and dramatic falls did not provide an accurate depiction of how devastating this event was. De Niro and Irons did an especially great job portraying their characters. In the very end of the movie, you could see Rodrigo’s struggle to hold on and Father Gabriel’s fear, although he would not turn his back on the natives who had put their trust in him. The other actors who played the other Jesuit missionaries did an excellent job as well, but in my opinion, did not have as an important position in the movie like De Niro or Irons. The actors portraying the Portuguese slave traders really took hold of the ignorance the Portuguese had towards the Natives. Ray McAnally, who had the role of the Cardinal, did a great job of showing how difficult the decision was for him to give Portuguese control as well as his regret and grief for the destruction that…
“He is a craftsman of unquestionably first rank, a man who can bend language to his will.” This is how The New York Times Book Review describes Erich Maria Remarque’s writing in the novel All Quiet on the Western Front. Remarque uses figurative language to enhance his ideas. The most developed device he uses is personification because it grabs the reader’s attention and helps the reader understand the mood of the novel.…
All in all, it was a great movie with great direction and acting. The storyline is great and makes it hard to stop watching. It keeps the audience glued to their seat to see what happens at the end of the movie. And, the ending is so appropriate for the movie. It was great writing and what an action drama should be like. The recommendation for this movie could not be higher. It is a true…
The film itself is, in my opinion, an adequate achievement. It mostly has features of talking-head footage of interviews Morris recently did with the eighty-five-year-old McNamara using a piece of video hardware, that a lot of documentaries use, that allows Morris and McNamara to look at each other eyes while McNamara also looks directly into the camera, creating a sense of togetherness between the interviewer and McNamara. Morris…

The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies of our time. Laremy Legel called Christopher Nolan’s, The Dark Knight, a masterwork (Dillon Michell, "The Dark Knight"). The Dark Knight won plenty of awards: Best Achievement in Sound Editing, Cinematography, Film Editing in Oscar; Movie of the Year in AFI Award; Top Box Office Film in ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards, and so on. The Dark Knight is a film that was so popular and all around loved that it merits evaluation.…

I wish I could meet director Chris Nolan so I could shake his hand for rescuing the Batman franchise from its shlock purgatory that was Schumacher-Land. Hats (and cowls) off to underappreciated actor Christian Bale, who filled in the Batsuit quite nicely (and his gravelly Batman voice was spot on!), but more importantly, he gave both Bruce Wayne and Batman true character. And of course I also applaud the excellent supporting cast of acting greats: Liam Neeson shows that he's not just wise old mentor material (the twist at the end surprised and impressed me-- who would have thunk it? Ra's al Ghul is IRISH!:p), Michael Caine shows why he's the obvious and really only choice to play wry, reliable Alfred, Morgan Freeman shows how an understated, classy performance can be memorable, and Gary Oldman shows an entirely new (at least new to me) facet of his acting prowess by turning in what I think is the real breakthrough performance in the movie. It was kind of freaky seeing someone who usually plays scary, psycho villains transform…
FASSBENDER: It was a blast! It was a privilege to work with Ridley again. He's one of the true masters as a filmmaker and I love working with him. Every time you're on the set with him you're going to learn so much . . .…
Through life I've discovered many things with myself and accoplished many things. This past year my goal was to get high honors because, I have never goton my GPA that high honors and that was such a big accomplishment for me. An award that I was proud of was when I got my citizen ship award. That award proved to me that I was kind, helpfull, and ect. Even tho i already knew that stuff about me, but when i was presented that award in front of the whole school everyone knew. As you know I play sports, if you didn't know well, now you do. So, I play a lot of sports and I am actual pretty good at most sports. Through out the years that I've played sports I've MVP, I've been the captain of teams too. But through out the years I've notice that I…

Adrian Mitchell was an English poet, novelist and playwright. Before he became a poet and author he was a journalist for a major newspaper in the UK. For 48 years he was the foremost poet for the protests on the anti-bomb movement. Mitchell’s famous quote of “Most people ignore poetry because most poetry ignores most people” explains how some people have no interest in poetry because it is not on a topic that they can relate to or they are involved in like, wars, racial discrimination etc. Mitchell’s main themes in his poems are of nuclear war, the wars in Vietnam and racism. His poems are often “sung” or chanted in protests, demonstrations and rallies that relate to those certain topics. His poems are very strong, deep and they leave a very strong visual image in your head.…
