Ok, I get what you were saying. I think that the important piece though is the narration, with out that critical bit of information, the point doesn't really stand on its own.
I forget the CGI part you're referring to, I'll have to take a look la...
This is a very strongly written review, but you need to concentrate on the filmic elements as much as you talk about the theme. What about the color in the film? The cinematography? Sound? Editing? Focus on one scene and describe the movie by exte...
"I think that the reason we begin from a more “outside” angle, and get more “inside” is because after we get these close ups, " not sure what this means exactly.
I'm not sure that you make your point here Justyn, in fact, it seems to me that the ...
Good observations, Eugene. The whole movie undergoes a tempo shift as the tension grows.
" The lighting is low key in some areas and very bright in others" - i assume you mean some areas of the ship and not some areas of the frame, make sure you're clear in your descriptions. "the music is often low key " - I'm not sure you are explai...
"This characterization can be attributed mostly to his makeup and clothing." - I don't think I agree with this.
" Another example is the CGI of the items in the trash bin."- can you elaborate? I don't remember any obvious CGI in this film besides ...
"This quote expresses the thesis of the Fincher's film" - perhaps his theme, I don't know if your argument supports the idea that this is a 'thesis'. Other than that, this review is SPOT ON. Excellent work, you've gone way over the top here. Only ...

Mr. Frock said… - Yes sir! I basically like everything Lynch does. "Eraser Head" is amazing (and should be added). He has a short on his short films DVD shot with a replica of the first Lumier camera that blows my mind. He shot the film on a dolly that traveled from scene to scene and used tricks to create cuts – the whole thing is one shot – that is possibly my favorite. It's titled "Lumier."

In the film “Pulp Fiction” by Quentin Tarantino, the theme of forgiveness and redemption is portrayed with the use of camera angles, camera movement, a non linear timeline, and point of view. The establishing shot of the film was of the word “pulp...

Uno: The first thing that gives it away is the timber of his voice. But I thought his makeup and clothing were more conspicuous when viewing as an audience because it was more difficult understanding what the narrator was actually saying than iden...
