fantastic films that made it a close competition for best picture. I narrowed down my list of movies to The Quiet Man‚ High Noon‚ and The Greatest Show on Earth. I narrowed it down to these three because Moulin Rouge and Ivanhoe did not perform up to the standards it needed to have a chance at best picture. By thoroughly evaluating these films it has been determined that The Greatest Show on Earth clearly deserved to win its best picture award becuase of its emotional scenes‚ creative film techniques

Film and Popular Cinema When it comes to the differences between intended audience‚ artistic purpose and commercial goals of each of them‚ there are many differences. The shots that are used in a movie or show makes or breaks it. By shots I mean the close ups‚ flashbacks and pan being used.
