  • Foreign Films The Special Effects
    1,349 words
    Despite the fact that Hollywood films are popular all over the world, many believe that foreign films are better. Critics dislike of Hollywood films is due to the straight-line plots of the films in which nothing is left unclear, unsettling or unexplained and every shot is justified by a link to strictest cause and effect. Hollywood films are often viewed as dulling the mind. In this country people generally view films for mere entertainment. Many recent films support this stereotype of American...

  • Excellent Film

    What makes an excellent film? It took me a little while to come up with an answer to, "What makes an excellent film?" There really is no answer, actually. I believe that an excellent film is within the eyes and emotions of the audience. After researching and discovering what actually won Oscars and Golden Globe awards, it came down to what the people thought, and the popularity of a film. It is extremely hard to predict what will win these awards before the movie is even released to the public. ...

    Lesson Four: Capstone Review (The Grudge) The film I recently watched was The Grudge. The film was filmed entirely in Tokyo where Japanese director Takashi Shimizu brought the popular Japanese horror stories to the American movie viewers.

So the film held up to its previews, however it was scary I would not rank it ...

  • Movie Like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
    452 words
    Response Paper I have been a fan of martial arts movies since the late Bruce Lee so I figured Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, even though it was the winner of four academy awards, would just be another attempt to make a poor example of a kung fu movie that lacked culture and poor acting. Acting, scenery, choreography, and story line made this an incredibly good movie. The movie features subtitles which I was impressed to see most foreign movies have overdubbed voice which takes away from the orig...

  • Kubrick's Last Film
    460 words
    I am a BIG fan of Stanley Kubrick, and it's a shame that we won't be able to witness another Kubrick film. What he contributed to film could hardly be put into words; he was simply a genius. His name is right up there with Hitchcock and Scorsese as far as milestone directors who revolutionized film. Kubrick's last film, 'Eyes Wide Shut', is a suitable and triumphant end to his illustrious career; it is misunderstood, quite ambiguous, controversial and different from anything you'd see. The usual...
