Logan's Run Film Analysis
On 1976, the film Logan’s Run was released into theatres based on the novel of the same title. Since the release, the film has gotten multiple good and terrible reviews regarding its plot and its special effects. The film won a Special Effects Academy Award and was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction-Set Decoration. After watching Logan’s Run, it was evident that the special effects used in the film were terrible if you were to compare it to todays special effects. Since it was mostly computer based back then, it was clear which scenes were added through computer such as the scene of when the frozen cave was collapsing, where I saw blue pixelated curves around the boulders and rocks. There was also the time when the director

    One of my favorite movies is Dances With Wolves. Dances With Wolves is a 1990 American epic western film directed and produced by Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner plays the star character, Lieutenant, John J. Dunbar. He is wounded in the American Civil War. He chose to try to commit suicide over having his foot amputated by taking a horse and riding it up to and along the confederate soldiers’ front lines. They failed to shoot him.

    1.I believe what makes this film so great is the plot of the film combined with the actors ability to give life to the story. Gary Cooper who plays Kane in the film, is an upstanding and ethically good man. Since he demonstrates these characteristics in the film, he makes a believable Marshall. Another reason why this film is so great, is because of the hero premise. I believe this causes the "unsung hero" to resonate with the audience's feelings. This is shown at the very end of the film after the Marshall had confronted the criminals. Even though Kane had stopped Miller, no one in the town cheers or celebrates. They kinda of just accept it as it is and just move on without giving their thanks to the Marshall.…

    Fourth, the effect of evolution is irreversible which explain that once the organisms evolve, it cannot reverse back to previous state. From the movie, an antibody is created to reverse the mutation of genes for the mutants. However, in reality, mutation of genes cannot be reverse like in the movie. Mutation that occur in an individual cannot be reverse because mutation that happen in the chromosomes or genes is irreversible. A chromosome mutation is an unpredictable change that occurs in a chromosome. These changes are most often due to problems that occur during meiosis which is cell division process of gametes or by mutagens such as chemicals and radiation. Chromosome mutations can result in changes in the number of chromosomes in a cell…

    I believe that Ridley Scott did not accurately portray the biblical version of the Hebrew Exodus. Many things portrayed in the movie either didn’t happen in the bible or were very different than the Exodus. Some examples would be that Moses had a different personality in the movie, Moses didn’t perform the three miracles, God wasn’t a little boy, and several other things. These are a few of the problems that lead the movie away from the text.…

    Stunning scenes of landscapes, trees, and clouds fill the scenes of The Revenant. Snow fills the open-void of the wilderness and sunlight bleeds through the spaces between the tall, dark trees. The camera mainly focuses on Hugh Glass as he attempts to take his revenge upon John Fitzgerald, who murdered Hugh’s son. The camera pans smoothly during calm shots of vistas and nature, while the camera rapidly shakes during the intense attacks of the Native Americans. Rivers flow smoothly, and in some shots, Hugh’s fearful, beaten face fills the frame as he struggles to evade the threats of Native Americans. The contrasting nature of the scenes in The Revenant is effective in immersing the viewers in the environment, portraying a message of conservation, and developing a captivating, simplistic storyline.…

    The Hunt Movie Analysis

    For me, there is nothing I enjoy more (almost) than reviewing indie films. I am one that seeks out those who could benefit from the extra promotion, and although it can be difficult to sometimes squeeze it into my schedule, I am happy to help when I can. And that is exactly how I feel with The Hunt. This is an independent film, and it just so happens that Kyle Smithers, director of this film, was kind enough to give me the chance to review it. And the fact that it stars Rick Ravanello, one of my favorite actors (and people, for that matter), makes this particular review even more gratifying.…

    I give two thumbs up for the absolutely outstanding movie “Varsity Blues” directed by Brian Robbins. Varsity Blues is such an outstanding movie played by some magnificent actors such as Paul Walker, James Van Der Beek, Ali Larter, Amy Smart, and plenty other amazing actors. This spectacular movie it takes place in 1999 in a small town high school football team where their coach only cares about reaching his 23rd district championship title. As players for this football team, they went through hell and back dealing with the pressure from the community and their overbearing coach constantly giving them a very difficult time throughout the entire season.

Poverty is represented by food, shelter and money. In the book and the movie, family is something that keeps the main characters going. A memoir and a fictional film are similar but different in certain ways.…

    A movie like Fences only comes once in a great while. It is sort of an unconventional movie, unlike most. It is filmed almost as though it is a play, which is exactly how this film got its origins. Written by August Wilson in 1985, Fences started off as a Broadway play that ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama in 1987. This drama focuses on exploring the African-American experience and looks deep into the heart of race relations.…
