Receiving a 5/5 stars from http://commonsensemedia.org can be viewed as a major accomplishment‚ therefore it is no surprise Louis Sachar’s Novel "Holes" was made into a movie. However Andrew Davis made some interesting variations on how he told the story. In my opinion the biggest differences where Stanley’s appearance‚ Sam’s death‚ and Mr. Sir’s role. At first these may appear to be accidents but they are there for very specific reasons‚ they are there because the director targets your eyes‚ and

this movie did not do that. From a clinical standpoint‚ The Soloist is one of the few movies that accurately depicts schizophrenia. Before we meet Nathanial‚ before seeing his disheveled appearance and his disorganized life‚ we’re introduced to something pure – Nathanial’s music. I think this is an integral part of the movie‚ which helps the viewer to understand that while it’s easy to judge a person battling schizophrenia‚ there needs to be unbiased approaches.

However‚ the truth is that even though movies are a source of entertainment‚ they can also teach their viewers important lessons. For example‚ the movie Selma teaches its audience about the American civil rights movement. The movie Ex Machina teaches audiences about the dangers of artificial intelligence.

The movie‚ as a whole‚ I enjoyed very much. The character development in the beginning caught my attention and didn’t leave me constantly drifting off as other films might have.

Dr. Zhivago Movie The 1965 movie‚ Dr. Zhivago‚ takes a slight diversion from the novel by Boris Pasternak. My initial reading of Pasternak’s Nobel Prize winning novel told me a story of war‚ identity‚ and morality. It took individuals under normal circumstances and threw them into the tribulations of war and tragedy. This is emphasized by Yuri’s relationship with Lara. Though there was a strong sub-plot of love and romance‚ the strongest theme‚ to me‚ was that of the individual struggles during the

IB History of Europe 12B Mrs. Akker Argo Movie review 31 March 2013 Argo is a movie about the US’s problems with Iran in the 1980’s. I was pleasantly surprised to find it very enjoyable. I don’t tend to enjoy history movies or documentaries‚ but the plot really captured my attention. I like that the filmmaker gave some background information regarding the conflict because this allowed the viewer to understand what was going on. At the end of the movie‚ pictures were shown comparing the real events
