the best movie I have ever seen
In my personal opinion Avatar is the best movie I have ever seen. I loved everything about the movie, especially the state-of-the-art technology. When I first saw the trailer for Avatar there were no famous actors in it but the thing that did draw me into seeing it was the amazing scenery. Most of the scenery in the movie reminded me of a tropical rain forest except the rain forest literally jumps out at you. After I saw Avatar for the first time with my older brother and dad, I felt like walking outside and hugging a tree. The director James Cameron has been working on this film for more than 15 years and a budget over 300 million. James Cameron’s Avatar is like nothing you have ever seen. The movie unfolds on a digitally created world called Pandora, the craziest world you can’t even imagine. Huge rock formations hang miles above the ground with waterfalls running off them into the air; flowers that look out of this world hide in the ground if you so much as touch them; little floating flowers that swim through the air like little jellyfish off the sacred tree. Since the movie is in 3D most of this beautiful scenery dances before your eyes. On the beautiful plant of Pandora, humans seek to find mineral deposits of Petroleum which is worth more than diamonds. The problem is not finding the Petroleum it’s the native forest people called the Na‘Vi.

The Na’Vi live in a tree that’s as big as a skyscraper, the huge tree is sitting on top of the richest Petroleum deposits. The military wants to take action to force the Na’Vi out of their homes but the scientists urge the military to let them try a more diplomatic approach before they take action. This is where the scientist recruits a young paraplegic soldier, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), to infiltrate them by linking his mind to one of their bodies, genetically bred by the army for the purpose. They put Jake in a device that lets him control one of the Na’Vi bodies so he can move among

    The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with underdeveloped skills in our lives. The Notebook has many different stages that the main characters go though such as, stage eight, integrity vs. despair, stage five, identity vs. identity confusion, and stage six, intimacy vs. isolation.…

    The film was about in allegory for the war on terror of how America interrupted the peaceful lives of Na’vi and completely destroyed it for selfish reasons.James Cameron (Director) is telling the citizens of those countries to rebel against the Marines and kill all the Na’vi. Cameron is saying that every middle eastern should start a war against the American imperialist that don’t care about lives as much as they do. The film is not anti-war and it is anti-violence. The film was trying to state an anti-violent message in the climax of the movie when after all the Na’vi are shot, and the only survivor is Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), and those robot machines keep shooting and destroying the scenery. When they destroy the tree the same technique is…

    The over-the-shoulder shot from behind the Na’vi captures the ostracisation of Jake Sully. Ironically, the 3rd person shot from behind the Na’vi positions the audience against humanity, and thus a dichotomy is created. This notion is further reinforced by Mo’at’s cup analogy and litotes – “We have tried to teach other Sky People. It is hard to fill a cup which is already full”. The character development of Jake Sully and narrativity of Avatar is evident in the bird’s eye angle camera shot which captures the mise en scène and Cameron’s employment of geometrical shapes. While the circle symbolises totality, the centered positioning of Jake Sully with the Na’vi’s hands linked connotes unity and acceptance. This is mimetic of the negotiations and agreement reached between U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Khrushchev for the Soviets to dismantle their weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, in exchange for a U.S. public declaration and agreement to never invade Cuba again without direct provocation (Cuban Missile…

The book, Into the Wild, tells a story about a guy who had a philosophical journey. The book shows a process of a person’s spiritual growth: from the yearning for the absolute freedom, a kind of irrepressible impulse and force, to the yearning for the happiness. Maybe, at beginning, what Chris McCandless pursuing was the happiness, but he hadn’t realized it yet. But finally, he realized it.…

    Reservoir Dogs

    • 1254 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In chapter 5 of our book, it discusses aspects of cinematography, which included character blocking and film space. Film space calls attention to aspects of the film that the filmmaker wants the viewer to pay attention to. The way the shot is framed, is done to move the attention of the audience to a specific person or object within the shot. Blocking has to do with the location of the character within the frame. The placement of the characters can give them more importance, and can let the audience know a lot, about who is superior. Film space and blocking are both aspects of cinematography. The framing structure/distance, film space, shot duration, and lighting are all part of the overall cinematography. All of these things can determine the feel of a film. Reservoir Dogs is a film that is heavily based on the dialogue. Tarantino definitely has his own scriptwriting style. Most of the film takes place in a warehouse building, with the men going in and out. Besides the flashbacks that occur due to the non-linear structure of the film, the majority of the film takes place in a single room. Aside from the strong dialogue, what makes the film so unique and helps support its dramatic narrative, and advance its themes are the cinematography and blocking that was used in the film.…

    Through the use of Aliens and Medical Experimentation, it is clear for one to see that Avatar is a more evolved Sci-Fi genre film than that of District 9. Although the aliens in District 9 do not have the typical green skinned, antenna, bug eyed aliens like shown in most alien based films, they do however share the same thought that aliens physically do not represent human forms and have ugly exteriors, thus making mankind feel good about themselves, whilst watching the film. The extreme close up of the prawns face during the news feed in the beginning of the film, is used to emphasis the prawn’s appearance so as to highlight that they are ugly creatures, thus automatically making them ‘bad’. The weight of the aliens; introduces the idea that they are not as evolved as humans, as one could questions how a species of great numbers, can still be controlled by a species of a lot smaller numbers.…

The Na’vi is an entirely made up and brand new culture with language, norms, relationships, religion, and beliefs. Western civilization tries to move in on their land and their ways, believing the Na’vi are savage and primordial who must be living in the past due to their lack of modern technology uses and spending their every day and night in nature.…

    Parents need to know that the movie's R rating comes from some very strong language, sexual references and sexual situations, including prostitutes and adultery, and humorous nudity. A character's history of sex, drugs, and rock and roll is played for humor. There are some tense and sad scenes. Some audience members may object to the portrayal of the American President (Billy Bob Thornton) as a crude bully. One of the movie's many strengths is its matter-of-fact portrayal of loving inter-racial friendship and romance.…
