Moulin Rougue

I think this movie was the best musical I have ever seen. The musicals were funny, and heartbreaking at the same time. The dark theme of the movie and the dramatic way that France was pertrayed was fantastic, as well as the choice of actors. The ending was heartbreaking and unexpected.

Singing In the Rain

To be honest, I really liked this movie. I like the romance and the musicals which I am not very fond of. This movie made that pleasant to watch, as well as funny to see one of the most popular actresses have such a high pitched voice. I love how in the end she was exposed, and it was fun to watch. The classic singing in the rain musical number was the cutest and most entertaining musical I've seen in a while. I love the creative use of puddles and dancing. The camera work and the way they used actual sets to pretend that it was the movie was fun to watch.

Play it again, Sam

This movie was not what I expected. The entire time, I felt bad for the guy. It really brings to question whether it's okay to cheat for the sake of your relationship to be repaired. I felt so bad for the poor guy that actually fell in love with the girl. Trying to go on date after date after his wife left him was difficult to watch, although very humorous, I cringed at the same time as I laghed watching him mess up. It was clever to have to guy from Casablanca, as his guide, as well as a good lesson to learn to be yourself. In the end, he was left all alone, with nothing to go home to but to learn about how life can take an impact on his emotions and that he should stop trying so hard to be someone he's not.

Casablanca




The longing and regret that Humphrey Bogart's Rick and Ingrid Bergman's Ilsa feel for one another is fascinating. When you find out that fate brought them together, it is romantic and heartwarming. The movie that is filled with action and a heartwarming story with an ending that will shock you. I like the camera work and always consider that the technology that we have now was not available to them. The way that the cinematographer put the movie together really adds a feel of excitement and makes the movie a timeless classic.

O Brother, where art thou?

O Brother, where art thou?
I think this movie was very funny, I especially took notice of the camera work in this movie. From the beggining the movie starts with a close up of the wheat fields, which brought a very warm and quaint feeling. It made this movie, although sarcastic and funny, very artistic in the way that scenes were presented. The movie does a great job in depicting the ways of life a long time ago, despite the actual production date. George Clooney does a fantatstic job in acting as a hooligan. I didn't like his wife very much, but I am assuming that it was a good way to remind the watcher of the way secxist and racist ways were very implemented.
The movie had a great story line, although I am not a fan of shakespeare, I did enjoy this film, with exaggerated scenes and great camera work.

Some Like it Hot

I have never seen a Marilyn Monroe film and am surprised. I didn't think she would act the way she does, she's  very bubbly, and light and sweet. She reminds me of Anna Ferris, if you know who that is, and it's really surprising that she does. I like the movie, and I understand why she would be famous. The movie itself was surprisingly fun. I like that the whole concept of disguising as women was also funny back whenever this movie was made. It was funny, and relatable, as well as a light and fun movie to watch. There were scenes that made me laugh outloud, it actually reminded me of the movie "White Chicks" a lot. I feel like the movie "White chicks" was based off this movie due to the vast amount of similarities.

HOOSIERS.




This film was like the any other typical basketball movie, inspiring and with a lot of charm. It's a small town sports melodrama, that takes the difficulties in life and gives the viewer inspiration that there is hope even after you mess up. The music was a bit comical at times, and perhapes even unecessary, or maybe it's because the film was from a while ago, that it seemed that the music added unwanted drama to the overall theme. As for the camera work, the directors did a great job in adding a nice feel to the movie. The basketballl games are always a difficult event to project in a dramatic way as needed.  But throughout the movie, the directors carefully picked where the camera angles were needed and made things fine. As for the movie itself, the actors were picked accordingly and just like any other basketball movie, it ends with a happy and optimistic view of life and its difficulties. The alcoholic coach was also a great add, to make the movie more realistic and relatable, two elements that are essential in any movie to catch a watcher's attention.
