Walter Mitty Movie Analysis
Do you like funny/action movies? In my opinion, I love funny/action movies like “The Secret life of Walter Mitty”, about a young man and everywhere he goes, he daydreams of a girl name Cheryl Melhoff . One day Walter was pasting around in New York. He had received a phone call from a random man on the phone, but surprisingly it was Todd from E-harmony. Todd was helping Walter with his profile and explaining how he could send a wink to Cheryl to capture her attention. After a while Walter imagined that he smelled burning fire in the building, so he quickly ran and saved the love of his life, Cheryl. Cheryl was impressed by how he took the time to save her and how he waited to finally get that kiss he been waiting for. Walter ended up daydreaming about Cheryl everywhere he went. I found this movie really thrilling and enjoyable.
The movie was entertaining. It had a lot of funny moments. For instance, when Walter and his boss were fighting in the elevator over a childhood toy called Strechy Arm Strong. But the funniest part for me was watching adult men acting like little kids. The scene that got me laughing so

It could be all serious in one scene, but it can all turn into in a funny movie. There are so many times where Walter Mitty was trying to talk to Cheryl, but ends up messing up over and over again. Sending you with laughter, this movie is a mix of humor if you have or haven’t watched it. If you like Ben Stiller as an actor and you think he is funny, than you should go see this movie. It will get you laughing, having your eyes crying full of joy. Overall, I highly recommend this movie. It’s worth of watching and it will make you want to see it over and over again. You should at least check it out at a video store that is near you to see if you find this movie funny and entertaining for your whole family to

    I think that the best scene in the motion picture was when Walter had his hand on the check they received. The director focused right in on Walters face and you could actually see a crazed look on Walters face. It foreshadowed that Walter was going to do something.…

    An Avant-Garde Revolution Some conceal their differences while some use their differences to an advantage. From a young age Burton has directed unique films. A great example of this is his 1982 Hansel and Gretel, which aired only once due to the strangeness in its entirety. Burton uses non-diegetic sounds, low key lighting, and long shots in his work to display how one who overcomes his fear of being different has the potential for success.…

    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.…

    Tyler Perry’s The family that preys This is a good family movie that can show the viewer’s how some people prey on one another. This movie reminded me of the times my brother and I didn’t get along. It shows how different families are and how they treat one another. Sadly this movie also shows how family members can be so cold blooded. This movie duplicates real life situations where innocent People get hurt, family loyalty gets divided and couples end up in divorce.…

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    Comparative Essay Movie vs. Story Sam Stephens September 24, 2003 Any movie based upon a piece of literature can make or break its source of inspiration. Some movies do no mercy toward the book, while some exceed the quality of the novel. The movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, directed by Norman Mc Lean, was a much better piece of work than the short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," written by James Thuber, because the video had a satisfying conclusion, more action, and a much more developed and advanced plot.…

    Burton ended the decade with three films; Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in 2007, 9 in 2009, and Bones in 2006. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and 9, were extremely successful and loved by viewers and critics. They went on to receive several awards and nominations at the award ceremonies such as the Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards. In 2010, he directed another successful film, Alice in Wonderland, which received two Academy Awards for best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. He then later followed up with another film, Dark Shadows. This film did not do so great. It received mixed reviews from critics for both, its plot and performance by the actors.
