Baz Luhrmann is the director of a modern version of Romeo and Juliet (written by Shakespeare). There are many differences from the movie and the book‚ such as swapping swords for guns‚ to really emphasize the violence there was in that day. However‚ despite the differences between the book and movie‚ Luhrmann kept to a very similar plot. His point in the movie was to make people believe that love at first sight was possible‚ that it was fate that Romeo and Juliet met and fell into deep love.

thought. Towards the end of the movie‚ Oscar and his friends ends their night of celebrating their New Year in a confrontation with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station. Unfortunately‚ that was Grant’s last encounter. In my opinion‚ the movie Fruitvale Station is an accurate representation of what occurred Oscar Grant on January 1‚ 2009. The movie didn’t portray Oscar as a saint who has never broken the law nor as a bad guy. The director of the movie made sure to show that Oscar had

SALVERY I come to this country about 11 years ago‚ I went to high school in North Seattle‚ I took U.S history class. In that class I learned about slavery in America and the world. I really enjoyed watching the movie‚ because it reminded me how people get treat in our time. The movie was very historical‚ very emotional‚ and extremely depressing watching the beating‚ crying‚ and extreme verbally attacking‚ to see how people getting separated from their own family endlessly. I believe that slavery

good movie. The film is set in Nazi ruled Germany in the year 1939 and tells the incredible story of three boys and their love and fight for swing music. Swing Kids is a remarkable display of directing and acting talent. Thomas Carter’s eye for camera technique lends the feeling of actually being alongside the characters throughout their struggle. From the moment the movie began with a remarkable dance sequence‚ to possibly one of the most dramatic and heart wrenching final scenes in movie history

even though the movie is titled The Pursuit of Happyness (deliberately spelt wrong)‚ it is pretty depressing. Yes‚ the movie is supposed to focus on the struggles of the main protagonist as he chases what seems like a chimerical dream. However‚ every time you think that things are going to get better‚ they only get even worse for Chris. As Chris and his son move from one slump to another‚ you begin to wonder is there truly light at the end of the tunnel for this man? The movie starts off with

The movie was very inciteful and funny by the way that Michael Moore reveals the insidious role that Capitalism has played in America. The movie brought a question to my mind which is “What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism?” it seems to me as though that a plethora of Americans dreams are looking more and more like nightmares as families all over America pay the price with their jobs ‚ their homes and any life savings. In the movie Michael Moore showed several families

We’ve all seen a bad movie at least once in our life. When you’re watching it‚ it’s everything you can do to keep your eyes open. You’ve also probably seen a lot of really good movies. When you’ve seen an example of both‚ it is really easy to point out the odds and ends that make each movie good or bad. The movie‚ Smoke Signals‚ written by Sherman Alexie‚ is not a terrible movie‚ but it isn’t one I would recommend to all my friends if they were looking for a good movie. The acting was probably the

Everyone around the world makes choices every day; however‚ are they really making their own choice or was it predetermined? The movie ‘The Adjustment Bureau’ by George Nolfi lets you follow David Norris as he notices his life is determined‚ but fights for his free will. George Nolfi opens the idea of determinism and free will in this exciting movie. To explore the thought of determinism and free will‚ we will travel through the thought of Christianity‚ scientists‚ and physiology. When talking

He claims that people only want “to see what everybody else is seeing.” Our imagination is so lost in these movies that we don’t realize that there are numerous other movies with actual creative content (296-299). I believe in order for a movie to be considered great‚ it must have the following criteria’s; a good plot‚ in-depth visuals and sound‚ and hooks the audience.
