Baz Luhrmann is the director of a modern version of Romeo and Juliet (written by Shakespeare).

However‚ despite the differences between the book and movie‚ Luhrmann kept to a very similar plot. His point in the movie was to make people believe that love at first sight was possible‚ that it was fate that Romeo and Juliet met and fell into deep love.

thought. Towards the end of the movie‚ Oscar and his friends ends their night of celebrating their New Year in a confrontation with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station. Unfortunately‚ that was Grant’s last encounter. In my opinion‚ the movie Fruitvale Station is an accurate representation of what occurred Oscar Grant on January 1‚ 2009. The movie didn’t portray Oscar as a saint who has never broken the law nor as a bad guy. The director of the movie made sure to show that Oscar had

Some of the differences that the movies had was they dressed differently in each movie. One of which that we watched was a play that was filmed in 2014 and 1968‚ where the clothing is set with an

even though the movie is titled The Pursuit of Happyness (deliberately spelt wrong)‚ it is pretty depressing. Yes‚ the movie is supposed to focus on the struggles of the main protagonist as he chases what seems like a chimerical dream. However‚ every time you think that things are going to get better‚ they only get even worse for Chris. As Chris and his son move from one slump to another‚ you begin to wonder is there truly light at the end of the tunnel for this man? The movie starts off with

We’ve all seen a bad movie at least once in our life. When you’re watching it‚ it’s everything you can do to keep your eyes open. You’ve also probably seen a lot of really good movies. When you’ve seen an example of both‚ it is really easy to point out the odds and ends that make each movie good or bad. The movie‚ Smoke Signals‚ written by Sherman Alexie‚ is not a terrible movie‚ but it isn’t one I would recommend to all my friends if they were looking for a good movie. The acting was probably the

I choose Forrest Gump as a historical movie. The movie was about a young man with a mental disability that goes through this major event in the 1960 – 1970s not only that but it was kind of romantic. Though out the entire movie‚ Forrest seems to be going along with the time line in his life looking for his first true love Jenny. Mean while she is living it out as a hippie tagging along with the wrong crowd and as for Forrest he maintains hope that one day she will love him. Not only that but the
