The film is outright weird, and it feels that Lynch’s writing style became lackadaisical it felt as if Lynch was “selling out” banking on the success of the series Twin Peaks to incite ticket sales without working hard on the story itself. Within Fire Walk With Me, Lynch delved directly into the murky dark essence of what the story of Twin Peaks is all about. The gloomy and horrifying molestation and inevitable death of Laura Palmer by the hand of her possessed father. However, it is all there, within the TV series as well, though the story arch, writing, and use of quirky characters from the original TV show put it behind a vail. The story Twin Peaks was actually in essence the story of Laura Palmer. However, to audiences and fans, this …show more content…
Though, time heals all wounds and over the past decades though the movie came out and flopped. People began to distinguish the movie as not only being a great piece of art, much more than it or Lynch was ever given credit for, but as actually being brilliantly written. Though, the movie is a disturbing portrait of incest and molestation that at times is extremely hard to watch, it is also impossible to forget. The performances and scenes with Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise as Laura and Leland Palmer is amazing and shows great range while dealing with the subject matter. Though not Oscar worthy performance still the most noteworthy performances of their careers. They deserve credit for …show more content…
AN example if this is Laura Palmer’s death was taken as a enormous deal to everyone in the town of Twin Peaks, no one really cares that the character of Banks has died in Deer Meadows. The Sheriff’s Department, and the police in Deer Meadow are unhelpful towards the FBI showing little to no concern. As well as the local diner Hap’s a stark doppelgänger of the Double R Diner, where the waitress claims that there are “absolutely no specials” on the menu. In place of a gorgeous hotel, Deer Meadow has is a grimy trailer park. The town of Deer Meadows is a straightforward the mirror image of the town Twin
One of the main products of this movie that popped out to me was the stars. They all seemed to be great actors even though I only knew one of them. For example, I thought that Ian Michael Smith did a great job portraying Simon Birch. He made the movie cute and funny all at once. I also thought that Joseph Mazello did a great job portraying relatable feelings in the movie. You could tell by his facial expressions what his mood was. All the actors did a great job and I can’t pinpoint one of them who did worse than the
It always leaves someone wondering what will happen next in Ruth and Idgie’s adventures. On the other hand, Steel Magnolias has a viewer questioning from the start whether Shelby will have a child or not. Is it really possible that she is willing to risk her life for this dream of hers? The support for Shelby really shines through with the chemistry between these six main characters. They all know each other better than they know themselves. The same thing goes for Ruth and Idgie. When Ruth’s husband abuses her, Idgie helps her friend by getting her away from him and on to start a better life for her baby. The wisdom and truth in some of the conversation from Fried Green Tomatoes is quite phenomenal. Steel Magnolias also keeps the viewers attention with the hilarious dialogue. The jokes these women play on each other and poke fun at one another is probably the best part of the movie.
When Martha Ballard died, she was definitely missed and even though her diary sat in the back stacks of a library for a very long time because authors thought it was useless, her story was told and it was a good one at that. It wouldn?t be a surprise to me if her story has inspired women and I know it has definitely educated people about women?s lives at this time. It?s just a shame that more women?s stories from this time will never be told. I?ve learned from Martha Ballard?s story that she must have been a very good, decent, and smart woman and I would have loved to have met her. She is a good example of what some women were like back then and it?s good to see that not all of them were powerless housewives as some people think and how I, myself, thought before I saw this movie. I saw her struggle and her get through the hard times. The things she had to live through throughout her life were astonishing and I?m really glad I got to see this woman?s work. I realized how easy we have it now and how women like Martha paved the way for us and we have to appreciate them for what they?ve done.
This movie was beautifully produced. I don’t believe another director could have done as good of a job as Luis Puenzo did. I believe Puenzo was able to bring this story to life and allow us to be able to really relate to each character intricately because he lived through the uncertainty and witnessed the agony faced by many, and he made all of the emotions real through this work. I also believe that having actors and actresses that lived through the experience was an excellent move.
The casting of both Leonardo DiCaprio and fresh-faced Claire Danes influence how the film is viewed. Baz Luhrmann is smart in using young, attractive characters to make the adaptation more appealing to a more adolescent
The book had a lot of thought put into it by the author and it appeals to many audiences of different ages. The book put me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book, and it was one of those books that you never want to put down. The way the author wrote it had quite a suspenseful, eerie, dramatic feel to it and that is what made the book so great, on top of the plot. The plot of the book was also very well thought out and put together, and I enjoyed reading it. Although the movie was great, I don’t think that it did the book enough justice. There were so many great aspects of the book that they left out, that would’ve made the movie just that much better. They should have put in some of the missing scenes and still portrayed the characters the same as they were in the book. However, I think that it would be hard to create the same feel as Ray Bradbury did in writing the book. It was the way that he connected with his audience that made the book appealing. Both the book and the movie were fantastic ways of portraying the story. If they had kept all of the scenes and properties of characters as they did in the book, the movie would have appealed to me more. But, the movie version of the story could appeal to others more than the book
The film received mostly positive reviews. Roger Ebert praised the film as "one of those stories with the quality of a nightmare, in which foolish young men try to out-macho one another until they get trapped in a violent situation which will forever alter their lives.”
The audience for this text is for a wide range a people and family. This movie is a great family movie as it shows determination and the will to move beyond the past. Especially for those that perceive they don’t belong or are passively rejected. The director has used a inspiring film to persuade humans to move beyond there past. To forgive and forget.
Imagine a devastating event that does not just change the world but alters all aspects of life to the point of being unrecognizable. How does one keep hope alive in a world where everything is either dying or has turned evil? In Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road, this is the daily struggle that confronts the man and boy. This remarkable story is about a father and son's attempts to survive in a barren landscape, faced with the constant threat of starvation, murder, exposure, and illness; they must continually decipher between good and evil, preserve the goodness of civilization, and find a purpose to continue their journey, especially when the existence of God is questionable. McCarthy's thematic purpose is to show that the qualities that mankind
A perfect example of this is the O.J Simpson Murder trial. Men and Women are killed everyday for various reasons. This was not like any other murder though because the murders were of celebrities and the lead suspect was a celebrity. The public followed this murder investigation till its end. Children not yet born such as myself remember what happened and details about the investi...
Christopher Nolan did an excellent job writing and directing this film, he was very creative by started the film out with Leonard looking at a faded polarized photo rather than one that begins to develop. As the film went on, we learned that his wife was murdered and he was trying to solve the case. It is evident that Nolan put much thought and consideration into the casting for this film. The actors and actress made the story believable, by embracing their characters and allowing themselves to fully act out each characters story. If one was just watching the movie without knowing anything about the Anterograde Amnesia, they would walk out of the theatre trying to figure out who murdered Leonard’s and they would have some knowledge of what Anterograde Amnesia is and how it effects the victim. Even though this movie was filmed in 2001, the movie kept my attention and I was able to follow the plot.
In my opinion the movie was really tragic were Coraline was looking for her parents.
I have to disagree with both these reviews. I believed that the story was brilliantly written and the cinematography was beautiful. This movie touched me and had me in tears which believe me is hard to do. I do agree with the New York Times and New Yorker that it was a little dragged out and that Kiera Knightly acting was over rated. Other than that I would defiantly recommend this movie.
...n able to reach otherwise. With unlimited possibilities and the creative minds in the world, the film industry is likely to consider seeing drastic changes. Like the world has in the past, peoples’ likes and dislikes will change with the ever-changing technological world. What we enjoy as a society in 2005 is likely to be considered as bland as we consider the black and white silent films, in the years to come.
The movie is has moments that will break your heart, inspires people to do more with themselves, but with some small plot discrepancies that could have been worked out with a few extra minutes of the movie instead of hanging us out to dry. However, Ebert raises a question “How much of the self we treasure so much is simply a matter of good luck, of being spared in a minefield of neurological chance?” (Ebert). The movie raises questions on what we do to those who need our love and support. The best part of the movie is how they come awake and get to experience a part of life before the medicine wears off and they go back into their catatonic state. The movie is worth the time and money, it is family friendly, and a sure classic to inspire you family for many years.
