| Moonlight (Jenkins,2016) | CRITICAL SCORE: 8/10 My first thought of the movie was that the story line was very interactive with the audience. I think this because they cleverly broke the 4th wall within some scenes. | Memorable Scene: the most memorable scene in my opinion was when Chiron’s mum was shouting at him for money. This scene happened when he was a teenager years after he went to see Teresa. In the seen his mum (Paula) breaks the 4th wall making it more memorable. The way she acted made this seen so emotional as you can see the hurt in Chiron’s eyes. The way her voice becomes significantly louder shows her drug problem causes immense stress and has changed her for the worse. |

Joker Review
| Joker (Phillips,2019) | CRITICAL SCORE:7/10 My first thought is that the score of the movie was exceptionally good. The scenes with music over the top of it made the atmosphere more intense and interesting. | Memorable Scene:The most memorable scene was when the joker was dancing down the stairs. I think this because it was one of the first scenes we seen him in his ‘iconic’ Joker outfit/costume. However, from seeing the poster of the film before watching the movie, I recognised the scene and knew it would be a key moment. The stairs are he is dancing on were the same ones he would walk up every day to go home. This emphasises the scene as he changed his entire look and became the ‘Joker’. |
