I have been a Transformers fan for a few years now and I find that somewhat of a rarity. When I say that I like Transformers, people usually think of the blockbuster movies that involve massive explosions and a man named Michael Bay. However, there is so much more than just those movies, and it’s difficult to find other people who are as immersed in the thirty-three years of comics, toys, and TV as I am. But there is one place that never fails to attract these hordes of hidden fans. The annual Transformers convention I go to, called TFcon, takes place at a Hilton Hotel in Mississauga. Every year, they have a screening of The Transformers: The Movie from 1986, one of the most significant things in the Transformers fandom. And until this year, I was unable to attend. Finally being able to watch this movie at the convention with a crowd of people who had an unspoken understanding about everything in this movie, is what shaped this cinematic experience into such an amazing one for me. The movie was shown that evening in a carpeted dining hall that was converted to hold convention panels earlier that day. Now, this doesn’t sound like the best place to show a movie, but …show more content…
There are so many elements that differ, thus creating completely different experiences. Watching the movie at TFcon, something I wanted to do for ages, I was at a place I love and with other people who shared my connection to this film. That sense of pure understanding is a very rare thing. On the other hand, watching the movie at home, which may have been more physically comfortable, lacks the crowd of people and the acceptance which I experienced from being with them. It was the fans and my relationship with them that made this cinematic experience into not only such a positive and special one, but also into one I will always remember. I will never forget the time when we all hated

In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
George Orwell's 1984 and The Lego Movie, are two texts which develop the theme that if one desires to obtain control one feels the need to alter feelings, capabilities and even the world seen in reality, which can result in a artificial society lacking the presence of human nature. In 1984 the Party of Oceania and the antagonist, President Business in The Lego Movie portray similar characteristics and goals which connect to the theme. In 1984 the ideology of thoughtcrime and the cotton swab in The Lego Movie portrays similar meanings which connect to the theme. In both the pieces of literature, there are totalitarian controlled communities. They are both controlled by hierarchies who's only determination is perfection and complete control over their society. In 1984, the Big Brother and the Party have total control over their society by asking the citizens to perfect the ideology of thought crime. They have the perfect vision of a society where people only love and worship the Party. In the Lego Movie, President Business wants to have a perfect society who only follows the rules given to them by him; if what he wills is not fulfilled he uses a cotton swab to perfect the blemish which would make his society perfect. In this society there are TVs everywhere displaying propaganda and there is also a 24/7 surveillance system. The two hierarchies illusion of a perfect society to obtain control, requires the loss of human nature and human creativity. This consequently involves the sacrifice of freedom of thought, speech and the expression of emotions .
because it made me became very curious about what is going to happen next. The play’s beginning was no as interesting as the movie’s. I also liked the acting in the movie.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
First of all, the movie is concise and more meaningful than the original book. Take an easy example of Macbeth, the movie

First I will talk why we should go back. The first reason we should go is because the movie had a lot of detail and facts that we need to know. The sights were awesome and I got to hang out with some of my friends and mess around. You actually learn a some to.
The widely popular film Shrek, produced and distributed by DreamWorks in 2001, grossed a total of $484,409,218 in worldwide sales (Box Office Mojo).

From its memorable characters to its whimsical, edgy humor, Shrek was an amazing, highly successful animation that would pave the way for DreamWorks to make billions off the franchise. Shrek’s success can be attributed to three main factors: the range of ages it appeals to, its creative use of intertextuality, and its ability to cover a wide range of the fairy tale functions proposed by Vladimir Propp.

The fist scene of the movie creates an atmosphere that helps the viewer know that he/she will enjoy this wonderful classic. Throughout the movie there are surprises and fun that makes this a movie that people will want to watch again and again. Gene Kelly said it best when he said, "Dignity, always dignity. " That is what this movie has from beginning to end, dignity.
All in all, after watching the movie, I know how to be thankful, the point of persistence and the precious friendship, I have learnt some important things that I didn’t know before. And the best thing is I'm still young enough, I also can fix my behavior and gain experiences.
The movie overall had a tremendous impact on my personality since it made me realize that every successful man in the world whether its Bill Gates, Chris Gardner or Carlos Smith have gone through immense hardships, struggling phases and complications in their personal and professional life to achieve the status, prestige and respect that they have today. They could have accepted these problems to adjust themselves with the existent scenario and situations, but the actual triumph of these people lie in recognizing the fact that all these problems and toils are there germinate greater resistance, potential of perseverance and willpower in them in order to transform them into a person who is fearless and disciplined enough to handle any kind of difficulty with extreme wisdom and sagacity.
...movie that I fell in love with. But most of all I love how the story line is a great overlap into the cinematically engaging movie. There is a great use of camera, timing, shots and story line that are portrayed in this movie without being too overwhelming. This allows the audience to relax during the movie and just take in the scenes as a story from reality. To this day, and even still doing this paper I still come to find different aspects of the movie that I missed the previous times I have watched it.
The Matrix is a sci-fi action film about a computer hacker named Neo that has been brought into another world deemed “the matrix.” The Matrix is a prime example of cinematography. The film uses many different types of cinematography such as mise-en-scene, special effects, and camera shots to make it interesting and entertaining to the audience guiding their attention to the important aspects of the film.
After the show had ended, I felt slightly empty. I had waited years and months for that night, and it was over in the blink of an eye. Although I was sad that the show was over, I felt completely content. Now, when I hear their songs, I get to remember what it felt like to hear the band perform them live. I can watch the videos and try to wrap my mind around how it was real. Going to my first concert was an unparalleled experience that I will always cherish. The ambiance, the band’s performance and the unity the audience
