this is England first response

i will give the movie a 8/10 I thought it was a really good film and had some really good shots. my most memorable scene was when Combo got mad at Milky for talking about his family and beat him to death calling him racist slurs to him, i thought the angle was good that we could not see it happen but then we got a Milky POV shot where it was like we were Milky getting beaten up by Combo.

train spotting first response

Id give the movie trainspotting a 6/10, I really liked how it was filmed I just didn’t understand it. a memorable scene in this movie is then the guy is coming down from the drugs and the baby is crawling across the roof and people talking to him while he panics, I thought this was a really good scene because it was very chaotic

joker first response- coco

Joker first response.  

After watching the movie “joker” I would give it a 7/10. I loved the idea of the actor slowly throughout the movie going more and more mad and slowly losing it. I liked the concept of him knowing he had nothing to lose in his life and he was going to do anything he can before it all got destroyed.

Q. Did you find this hard to complete and why? 

I did not struggle to complete this because I know who my favorites are, and I do not doubt my answers.  

Q. What makes a film ‘good’? 

A film is good when there are a lot of plot twists because then it keeps you interested in the movie because you want to know what is going to happen next. It also makes you really think about the movie and question the scenes prior to the plot twist. The characters in a movie are important because you can get an opinion on them, like which ones you like and dislike. You can also relate to them and connect with them, making you like the actor more, then watching more things the actor is featured in. The actors are important in the film because if the character does not fit the actor or actress then they will appear out of place in the movie. The actors create emotion in the film and creates a relationship with their character, so they really fit the role. If the audience have enough emotion to hate or love the character then they have really filled the purpose of their role. In a film, the director have an immense role in the making of a good film. The directing of this film is really impressive as the twins in this are both the same actor and they had to direct it to seem like they are both in the room at the same time. What I like about the parent trap is that it is clear on how much time they spent editing and the really high tech directing they did to make this movie as realistic as they can. During this film I really noticed that they used a lot of cinematography.  

favourite film soundtrack- coco

i like the film parent trap because it has some really good soundtracks, they use the same song throughout most of the movie in different parts of the twins.

another movie with a good soundtrack is the musical Chicago because it has some really good songs. the songs are really fit for the scene.
