Boo, you whore.

Mean Girls

A Movie for all the girls out there J a story of a Girl who went North Shore High for the first time and leaves the actual world and enters the girl world then the war begins. She met a gay, Damien, and a girl, Janice, who used her to make Regina George life miserable. But it turns out that her life becomes miserable.

This movie gives me a lot of, sorry for the word, bitchy quotations like, Boo, You whore, and you smell like a baby prostitute and many more. I used it lot to my friends. It gives more Idea how to revenge.
Most of the shot are point of view because they are showing what other girls think about other girls and that’s one technique to make the antagonist very bad. And you can see in the face of the actors’ expression of being plastic and it is very good.

The characters were good. Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams did a good job. They are both very effective in their roles. The story is very focused on the characters doing so you will pay attention to see how they will ruin their lives and it is focused on love and teenage girls in high school.

The lesson I learned from this movie is be who you are and don’t join groups that doesn’t fit you in. Just be yourself and hang-out with people who are in your league.

Now I know

French Expressionism and Surrealism

Based on what I learned about this Genre. I learned that old movies were morbid than today. I thought Saw is the most morbid movie I’ve watched but I was wrong. Even though it is a silent movie but my emotion was over flowing by ewwness and shockness.

 French Expressionism used few clips for their romantic movies. Their Romantic movies don’t have a happy ending. It is always heart-breaking and the camera is always focused on the one who has the broken heart.

Their movies were inspired by the Surrealism painter to express their feelings.
This is their weapon on Hollywood after the war.

Film Noir

Film genre that offers dark or fatalistic interpretations of reality. The term is applied to U.S. films of the late 1940s and early '50s that often portrayed a seamy or criminal underworld and cynical characters. The films were noted for their use of stark, expressionistic lighting and stylized camera work, often employed in urban settings. Style of filmmaking characterized by elements such as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy. The genre was prevalent mostly in American crime dramas of the post-World War II era.

The concept of lighting for film noir is deep and complicated topic but a great subject for modern filmmakers. Film noir was created by filmmakers who were bound by their budgets and their technology. But they weren’t limited in their talents – that makes this an excellent starting point for studying lighting. The first and most important light is the key light – this is usually the brightest and most dominant light of a setup. Complementing the key is the Fill light, which is place opposite of the key light to fill in some of the shadows left by the key. The final light of the three point setup is the back light – this light adds an outline to separate the subject from the background.
The sound of noir—plaintive sax solos, blue cocktail piano, the wail of a distant trumpet through dark, wet alleyways, hot Latin beats oozing like a neon glow from the half-shuttered windows of forbidden nightspots. You walk the sidewalks of big, lonely towns, with no destination in mind, following only the sounds, guided by them, wondering where they come from, what hurt souls cry out with such tones.A femme fatale  is a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. Her ability to entrance and hypnotise her victim with a spell was in the earliest stories seen as being literally supernatural; hence, the femme fatale today is still often described as having a power akin to an enchantress, seductress, vampire, witch or demon, having some power over men.

Trainspotting

The year is 1996, and the media has caused shock-controversy by claiming that Danny Boyle’s masterwork glamorises drugs. A bold statement considering the fact inTrainspotting the following happens:A drug-addict’s relationship is ruined and eventually dies, another addict drops a literal ‘bomb shell’ in a one-night-stand’s bed, a 14 year-old girl has sex with an adult, a baby dies due to being neglected, several punch-ups occur, a girl is glassed in the face with a pint-glass, men are hit with pool cues, people experience frightening hallucinations, and even after the baby dies, the addicts have to cope with the pain by shooting up again because they’re so dependent on heroine.

The opening speech for example, Renton talks about all of the mundane aspects of life in an acidically funny list: “Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television…” – and at the end of the speech he juxtaposes all of this with: “Why would I want to do a thing like that. I chose not to choose life, but chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroine?” Here is the crux of the film: choose life or choose heroine? Which one can you get the most amount of pleasure from? And which one gives you more harm? The film refuses to answer, and merely presents the viewer with the situation. The beginning section of the movie uses fast paced camera movements and slick and inventive editing (“the worst toilet in Scotland” is dubbed over the toilet door) to match the indescribable, hyper-orgasmic feeling of being high on heroine. We are essentially posed the question of whether we would choose heroine, and the “choose life” monologue is directly asked to us, the viewer.
Here we see how the film is subtly mocking societies obsession with male/female roles and stereotypes in and out of relationships.Overall, Trainspotting presents heroine as it is. It’s not for or against it, as Trainspotting, in my opinion,  is about choosing life or not choosing life.


Another interesting aspect of Trainspotting is its love for pop-culture – and humorously blending pop-culture-induced dialogue in scenes where characters are injecting themselves with the hyper-orgasm-inducing drug known as heroine. Trainspotting will momentarily pause from the drugs and the violence to make a James Bond reference or an innuendo, if anything, that’s not just funny, but utterly refreshing. The great thing about Trainspotting is the sheer sense of speed it has, its narrative drives forward at a rapid pace – the opening sequence is a great example of this, as is the section where each individual character goes out looking for a one-night-stand: we intercut from one couple to the next, and so on – all of the dialogue links up in a slickly stylish manner. For example, Spud is talking about how his balls ‘feel like watermelons’, and we intercut between that and a bathroom scene with his girlfriend where she discusses how hilarious it is to her to starve her husband of sex. To add to this, when the girls and the boys meet up and they tell each other what they’ve been talking about they lie with stereotypical answers.

Favorite Movie :)

            

My favorite movie of all time is Star Wars Saga. Star Wars is a science fiction adventure novel. The symbolism and characterization was really excellent in the story. The story gives a great look into the future as it has many different types of things we have not yet invented; blaster rifles, space ships that go the speed of light, fat alien slugs, and beam swords. The plot of the story sucks you into the movie and it makes you wonder what will happen on the next episodes.The movie symbolizes what George Lucas thinks the future may be like. His imagination was put to great heights to do this movie as he thought of interesting characters to introduce us to; Jabba, Chewie, Greedo, and many others. 

The movie gives great machinery and space age type weapons; blaster rifle, light saber, land speeder, Death Star, X-Wing, and others. He does this by showing as if we know about all this stuff. People waited a long time to reveal who is the father of the twins, luke and lea, and it reveals that Darth Vader, the most evil in the story, is their father. Then Lucas continue the movie and in the new episodes Lucas create the story of Darth Vader where he’s true name was Anakin Skywalker a child that was trained to be a jedi then turned his will to the dark side.
The Story tells that the truth will set you free and everybody can change.Star Wars was a great movie. George Lucas did a very excellent job in doing this movie. He draws you into the movie by introducing you to many different, out of this world weapons and creatures. It was a pleasure in watching this movie and is my all time favorite. People who like science fiction movies or adventure movies should try to watch this one.

Awesome Directors :)

1. Francis Coppola - One of America's most erratic, energetic and controversial filmmakers, Francis Ford Coppola enjoyed stunning triumphs and endured monumental setbacks before resurrecting himself, Phoenix-like, to begin the process all over again. A director who don’t Consider the Public at all he just want to create film even though the public wouldn’t like it but either way he still can create a blockbuster movie.

2. George Lucas - There’s a conflict between him and his fans. To redeem his fans he made a complete fantasy and adventure set in the imaginary frontier of outer space entitled Star Wars. He wants to be part of children's Saturday morning serial that would be a fairy tale. A Director who have the public in mind when he conceive and make his films.

3. Steven Spielberg - Because of his wild vast mind he can notice what people want. Public Minded. Undoubtedly one of the most influential film personalities in the history of film, Steven Spielberg is perhaps Hollywood's best known director and one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world.

4. Martin Scorsese - Study what are people want when it comes to American movies at the same time he examines the central conflict in American cinema.“The director's need to reconcile his role as a team player with his own personal expression,” Scorsese said.

5. Brian De Palma - Violence and gore never pleased people. These Director push his genre and spear-headed the new movement in Hollywood during the 1970s.

6. John Millius - A Director that has the public in mind when he conceive. Films often reflect his conservative political beliefs.

Hollywood

Hollywood has fascinated people for decades. It can be described as a place that makes magical things happen right before one’s eyes. It is a place where a viewer can be transported to another place and time, and become introduced into the life of characters in order to see their story.   

The classical Hollywood style can best be described as a place where invisible art was created. When the classical Hollywood style is used to make a movie, the viewer is seamlessly transported to where the story takes place. He or she is instantly aware of the surroundings by the use of invisible art.   The viewer is also introduced to characters and instantly knows certain things about this character because Hollywood emphasizes the appearance and the role of the characters.The concept of this character is the staging of action for the camera.

 It encompasses many areas of filmmaking such as set and costume design, blocking of the actors, performance, and lighting. It also includes technical formats such as camera movement, angle, distance, and composition.  It reflects the time period with great attention to detail.  Traditionally the actors do not look directly into the camera unless it adds a dramatic element to a scene. Also, great attention to detail is given in order for the film to appear realistic.The camera also is an integral part of the classic Hollywood style. Many different shots, angles, and distances are used depending upon what the director is trying to convey about the character or setting.   Low shots may be used to show the power one character has over another.

  Many Hollywood classic actors and actresses are still known to today like Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. They made a history for them to be recognized. Hollywood Classic Film is the originals. Movies in this Era still get a concept from this classical film.

“Hollywood is a place where they will pay you a thousand dollar for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul,” Marilyn Monroe said.
