    When adapting a well-known and loved play into a movie, the adaptor must keep in mind how the audience will react to a new version of a beloved story. An example of this is A Raisin in the Sun, which was adapted into a movie in 2008. Lorraine Hansberry wrote the original play and Paris Qualles adapted that play into a TV movie. The main themes of the story are family, faith, and hope. Following the narrative of a lower-class family living in Chicago in 1959, the play deals with racial tension, family issues, the journey from childhood to adulthood, and how each individual person impacts others around them, within the family unit and out in the world. Some minor issues with the play were resolved in the movie, such as the role of women and how they did not seem to have lives outside of the apartment. The 2008 movie adaptation stayed true to the original framework of the play while enriching the story for a modern audience.…

    It came from my cousin Charles who said the Goonies was one of his favorite childhood movies. After all the research I did and questions I asked I can say without a doubt that this movie is the greatest movie I have ever seen. How else can he say something like that? The fact is that he must not have had a good imagination as a kid. I cant explain what "it" is but when you sit back and experience a movie with "it", it will be forever instilled in your memory. Just look at some of the classic films of that decade. The Goonies is true art for our time. Watching it again almost brought tears to his eyes as he was drawn frame after frame of the drama and suspense. Its such…

    When thinking of “The Lego Movie” it’s easy to dismiss it as another movie made to entertain the minds of 4 to 11 year olds. A movie created just for parents to get one solid hour of peace from their kids but it’s surprisingly the opposite. The movie surprises its viewers with cleverly written jokes, action packed scenes, and heartwarming characters.…

    A seminal moment in the film “The Matrix” is where Neo chooses the red pill from Morpheous to see how deep the rabbit hole goals (rather than the other option of just returning to the matrix). Upon teaching Neo that his life had been part of the matrix, Morpheous said to him “Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?” The world around you could be something completely different from what you are currently perceiving it to be. This is known as a skeptical hypothesis and occurs when you are radically deceived about the world and yet your experience of the world…

    The significance of judgement is shown through people’s first reaction when they saw Shrek. “Oh… An ogre! It’s hideous.” is often what comes to people first, they stereotype “ogre” as bad and negative characters. “They judge me before they even know me.” It shows people making inconsiderable/uncritical judgements without thinking deeply into what they are really saying. This is significant because no one would like to be judged unfairly, but being called an ogre is a daily insult to Shrek, even if he hates it. However, the zoom in of Shrek’s face, the over-shoulder shot when Shrek is talking to the soldiers, the behaviour of him showed us that Shrek is a huge ogre with a gentle voice and a friendly nature. The real Shrek is a completely different person compared with the assumed Shrek.…

    There are many people out there who don’t really care for the comic styles of the Monty Python crew and their goofy way of portraying humor. If one was to sit down and watch a movie and the choices were either a serious newer movie that has obvious meaning and the other was Monty Python and the Holy Grail a cult-classic. The choice would probably depend on the person, but most likely the answer would be the first movie. There are many reasons though as to why Monty Python and the Holy Grail would be a good choice. Through the acting, the special effects and the intellectual humor Monty Python and the Holy Grail proves to a good choice of movie to watch after all.…

    El Dorado Springs High School put on Shrek The Musical last week (under the direction of Nicole Smith), an adaptation of DreamWorks Shrek the children's cartoon movie. The actors weren't really given a very good stage to perform on as well as a good backstage. The cast and crew of Shrek the musical did a good job of using of what they had. For such a small stage and a small school the production wasn't bad as a whole. The set did a sufficient job at letting us know where we're at and what's going on with the scene. The lead actors of the where John King as Shrek the Ogre, Allaura Stockbauer as Fiona, Caleb Miller as Donkey, and Caleb Alexander as Lord Farquaad did a good job on the acting side, but since this is a musical their vocals could have been more impressive.…
