Amadeus

To start off this has to be one of my favorite films. It captures of of the character of Mozart very well and I was able to see the challenges he was facing in life. I believe the costumes were spot on and every little detail was worked out. Everything from masks Down to every single wig. This film made me feel as if I was in the era of Mozart.
The color that was used in this film was a mix of soft dark colors and at times very very dark Colors. You can usually understand the emotions that are trying to be expressed just by looking at the color of the scene. When Mozart would remember memories of his father it was always a very dark memory with very little or no color.
I believe make up played a very important role just as the costume design did. It gave me a sense of what people look like and dressed like in that time.
Most of this film we're shots taken from Mozart's home or in the opera house. Those two buildings was where his music came from. We were able to see how we create his music and what his inspiration was.
I feel the production design team did a phenomenal job because I did not notice anything that stood out. Everything that was on set fit very comfortably I was not out of place. I was able to be taken away in the story and I would imagine myself I was there.
I feel the theme of this film is the important role music. Music is an easy task to create or imagine. With this film I was able to to understand and respect the musical process.
The meaning I got the film was hope. Mozart always hope for that next piece of work. It taught me that if I wanted something really bad I'm us work hard at it to obtain Michael. Nothing is given to anybody for doing nothing. If you want to go get it.

The rear window review

The audience is put in the role of viewers who view a protagonist who is almost obsessively preoccupied with looking at others. It Is very creative how they use the camera to tell the story. Is able to look at new perspectives that you may not notice. The camera was able to do lots close-ups on the character to show how they're feeling. You're able to see although facial features that they make. I loved it when Lisa's first appeared in the film before we can see her, we see her shadow “like a vampire”. The use of camera work was able to capture that moment perfectly. I feel some of the meaning from this movie is how some people per tray women. There were a lot of gestures that were used to imply meaning in this film that was able to be understood without speaking. A lot of the tension came from no talking and the slow camera movement at times.

Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid

1.) It was a hit with westerns and it gave the sense of cheering for the "bad guy"
2.) The meaning was you take what you want
3.) The montage that I loved when they went to bolivia they robbed a ton of banks but it looks like they did it in seconds and made it easy.
4.) Writing- I was cool to see how people cheered for the bad guy, it was also fresh. Music- it used the modern music of the time it was filmed but it fit the story very well.
5.) anti villain would be Butch and Sundance and we started cheering for them cause they had a smooth personality and a brotherly friendship.
6.) I loved it cause it mades it look fun and sweet.
7.) a comedy and western. they had funny jokes back and forth and it was taken place in an older time.
8.) I think it would do great because it is fresh and funny. The acting is great.
9.) I was impressed on the story line. I haven't seen a movie like it and its cool to see the other end of the law.
