This weekend I watched the movie The Truman Show. The movie is about what if we filmed a person 24/7 since birth. I watched it once when I was in like 7th grade because I want to say we were learning about narratives. But I recently rewatched it since it's been a long time, and I noticed a lot more than before. I think the director of the moving did an amazing job of framing the camera to focus on the main character Truman played by Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey, in almost every film, plays the goofball kind of guy. This film is a goofball movie at certain points within the film. But Once it gets serious, Jim Carrey protays emotions very well.
One of the examples I thought the director of the movie did a clear job of portraying was the idea that there are product placements throughout the movie. A couple of examples are shown above within the clip. I kept looking for them throughout the film. It kept my attention longer just trying to find everything. With this movie, I thought that overall Jim Carrey's goofiness, the director had chosen an interesting character to portray a different topic from most other movies.
The movie I watched this weekend was a Marvel Movie. The title of the film was called Werewolf by Night . The director Michael Giacchino decided to take the movie in a different direction from most films we watch today. Michael Giacchino filmed his movie in black and white. His decision to make the movie black and white led to a creepy aesthetic of the movie overall. It was almost like an old-time horror movie from universal but filmed by today's standards. One good example from the film I thought used the contrast of black and white was the clip above. It shows the Werewolf attacking the guards that were supposed to protect the boss. I thought the director did a good shoot because it showed the door slowly closing and how the light was fleeing away in the background while the Werewolf was attacking. Showed how there was no escape in sight. It eventually ends up going completely dark with no light at all within the shoot. I thought this shot was amazing to...
I rewatched the movie called Bullet Train; the director is David Leitch. I saw this movie during Covid; this week in the class, we focused on the experiences of seeing a movie in person versus being alone. So I rewatched this movie alone; I can tell you it was a different experience. The driving point of the film is about trying to steal a suitcase full of money. Each character within the film has different motives; however, they are all getting played by a mastermind. One of the characters in the movie is named Lady Bug, played by the actor Brad Pitt. Throughout the movie, we see why Brad Pitt is Lady Bug due to his luckiness throughout the film. Brad Pitt character in the movie, has an existential crisis about whether or not he is lucky or has horrible luck. Throughout the film, we meet other characters who come from all different walks of life. However, they all encountered each other prior to the job on the bullet train. The early encounters eventually play a role...
This week in film class we decided to watch the movie Pan's Labyrinth. I personally thought the movie we watched was really interesting. The director for sure had a deeper meaning for what ends up happening throughout the movie. Personally for me watching the movie I thought that every time the Ofelia would go and talk to the other fairy tale monster I thought it was a way to escape the realism of the world around her. This to me gives a specific idea of how a person might go through drastic trauma. I feel like throughout the movie I saw watching that every time Ofelia would see the fairy tale monster or even to travel to other worlds something terrible would end up happening in the real world. An example of this would be the first couple of minutes of the movie. I see that Ofelia and her mom were driving together in her car to meet her new father. During this time I saw that Ofelia was mostly focused on her books versus what was going on with her mother. Later on in...
