Yellow Submarine is an animated movie filled with dry English humor and psychedelic visuals, but it is not reducible to mere optical pleasures. This film is packed with symbolism as we join the Beatles in their animated forms, along with a crazy submarine captain and a "nowhere man". They face off with the blue meanies which are threatening the peace in Pepper Land, but overcome this adversity through love. In the end the blue meanies have nothing left but to join them in a world rich in beauty and color. It was difficult for me to maintain a coherent interpretation of the events in the film and to have continuous faith in the meanings I derived. I think, perhaps, the blue meanies represent consumerism and industrialism, which often inhibit people from a connection to the events going on in the world and the atrocities that are created through selfish over consumption. All in all it enjoyed the film, but the best aspect of this viewing experience was the free food and the ability to win prizes through a raffle. the him has not yet been released, for it is a remake that was painstakingly worked on for hours upon hours and I'm pretty glad i had the opportunity to see it.
Love, Gloria is a film about washed up child star Gloria Green who thinks that her life can’t get any worse until she is kidnapped by a deranged stalker and held captive by her biggest fan. Another hostage, Dawnee, tries to make Gloria relive the past she’s tried to forget. As these two people argue, Gloria’s incompetent assistant, Cheryl, tries to track down her missing boss and enlists the dismissive police force. Cheryl discovers that Gloria has been kidnapped and alerts Gloria’s manager, Al, who decides to sensationalize the event instead of helping save Gloria. Al does this in an attempt to reignite Gloria’s failing acting career. In the meantime Cheryl tries to save Gloria and the police try to sell the story to the public instead of helping Gloria. Gloria and Dawnee build a relationship in the confines of the basement. The deranged stalker has his own plans, which are revealed at the end of the film.
Overall, I found this film to be extremely strange and had a very hard time watching the entire production. It was really not my kind of movie and found it to be extremely boring and embarrassing in some respects. I do not recommend seeing this film to anyone who is looking for a well-made film, as this one is lacking in many respects.
This movie has a shocking visual images and animation! Very good story with a lot of band jokes, the film itself can be said is the most psychedelic, even though the animation can not be absolutely first-rate, but the grotesqueand fun, the charm is absolutely irresistible! regardless of color, scene or the characters are so distinctive, lively and vibrant addition Beatles' songs are really good picture cleverly combines can be said is great! full worththe aftertaste of subtle dialogue, is a great musical animated film!
“Love, Gloria” is the comedy film directed by Nick Scown, UM graduated student. This was first time for me to watch film made by director who is graduated student. It was good chance for me to check how good it is. I expected that movie would be boring and incomplete. Before starting movie, actual director Nick Scown introduced himself and explained how he made this movie. The introduction part reminded me Wes Anderson’s “Royal Tenenbaum”. It was great picture quality. In this movie, character’s costume was pretty impressive. For instance, Bonnie who is huge fan of Gloria wears big glasses and pink color clothing such as nerd. Also, AI’s fancy suit and police’s uniforms represents well their personality and characters. Story was distant. I felt like I’m watching one of Disney TV program. During movie, I can see all characters overreact trying to induce audience laughing but it didn’t work well for me. Such overreacting would be good for appealing for teenage such as middle school or elementary school kids but college students. Moreover, camera technique is really simple since it is kind of small budget of film. Even if there are such faults in this movie, I want to praise this movie director. Actually, I was surprised of this movie quality. I cannot believe this movie made by graduated student. Quality is every bit as good as that of current released film.
As a crazy fan of Beatles, I saw this movie with a scornful attitude, but when I finished it, I changed my mind totally. This one has a shocking visual images, and animation! Very good story with a lot of band jokes, the film itself can be said is the most psychedelic, even though the animation can not be absolutely first-rate, but the grotesqueand fun, the charm is absolutely irresistible! regardless of color, scene or the characters are so distinctive, lively and vibrant addition Beatles' songs are really good picture cleverly combines can be said is great! full worththe aftertaste of subtle dialogue, is a great musical animated film. I could not control my temper at that moment, like I saw John lennon is reborn, Screenplay story, the general plot, but the story idea ahead and imagine these ideas but it is an indisputable fact that, whether it can absorb all the monsters or the so-called timeline instantly old and smaller plot gave today people looks feel brand new !Or old-fashioned story plot, the bad guys rule the world, so is the inevitable product of the so-called savior, and finally, of course, justice, the bad guys get severely punished, and the world into a harmonious and beautiful, people are once again happy life together, of course, the same wonderful song and graceful dance.
This movie has a really delicate plot decorate,I saw others' command and know that the director is a guraduate student from our school!I'm so proud of that.I like the fundamental in this movie,especially in using colour.At the very begaining of it,it doesn't intrested me at all and I though it must be a vulgar story,but by the story went on and on, I almost know how could the story happen,but I also had been attracted by the circumstances,the hopelessness of Gloria's life and how could she hold on to her life and the people around and how them helped her,I think every single charactor has been modeled really successful.Also it's realistic, and reminded everyone that the payment for the dreams,I really do love the movie,and this might be the last view for this course,I also love this course,I had fun and learned alot not only from the basic theories but also from watching movie and analysis it from different perspectives.
What I most like about the movie was that as the movie keep on going, you see things that you didn't expected at all, for example when the little girl fan was the intellectual mind of kidnaping Gloria. Although the theme of the movie was a little cliche I enjoyed it, and I admire the Director because doing an indie movie isn't easy because of all the resources require to make a movie. However the movie is very realistic, because I thing that lot of actor might suffer as well as Gloria, because of a past that is following them and what they just want is to keep on moving in their life. The quality of the film was good, but in some parts you could see that there is some editing missing. In conclusion for me the movie was fun and different, and most of all was very interesting for me to see a movie from a UM graduate student, made me feel proud of my school.
What a trip. The Beatles probably lived in the land that is demonstrated in their cartoons. When I say lived, I obviously do not mean physically, but mentally and spiritually. If you do not know of The Beatles and their music, their movie is probably a hard one to follow. Even though it is a cartoon/animation movie, both an adventure and comedy, it has deeper meanings to it. About the movie, I do not believe it has a linear plot, or a meaningful story. Despite this harsh commentary, I believe it is an excellent collection of music videos to their spectacular repertoire of music. Also the cartoons in themselves were very well made, very colorful and very trippy, all descriptions of their music. The band’s characters are hilarious! They make the wittiest jokes with such serious tones in their voices that simply makes the movie an entertaining comedy.
THE GIRL WITH A DRAGON TATTOO The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo was a stunning action, mystery, thriller, that did not disappoint. This movie is about a young and upcoming journalist Mikael Blomkvista, who is searching for a woman who has been missing for forty years. Throughout his journey he is aided by Lisbeth Salander, a young computer hacker who lives life on the edge. Although this newer version of the film starred the "James Bond", it is an adaptation of an international bestselling trilogy and based off of the first book. Also, after looking into comments made by some of my friends, it turns out that another version of this movie was made in Europe, and apparently it is regarded as better than this version. This makes me definitely want to watch this original version over the summer and compare the two. Other than this, the high paced action shots of chase scenes and action scenes keep the audience engaged and entertained throughout the movie. However, it was hard to see Daniel Craig, James Bond, in any other role other than the one previously stated. Overall I thought the film was awesome and everything I was hoping for; action, mystery, twists, and a very nicely structured plot that made this movie so memorable for me.
I was very excited to see a film made by a UM graduate student. Love Gloria had a very picturesque plot. A depressed Gloria Green, former child star, gets kidnapped by a stalker and is held hostage with her biggest fan Dawnee. Gloria’s scheming agent sees this as an opportunity to save Gloria’s career and decides not to help her. Enter Cheryl, Gloria’s loving assistant. She realizes its up to her to find Gloria and takes matters into her own hands. Although I feel the costumes and picture was great during the film I couldn’t help feel that the humor was forced upon the audience. Each character managed to live up to their stereotype. For example the geeky fan of Gloria, Bonnie wears big glasses and a nerdy outfit. It was almost as if every character dressed by the image of a child. I feel the ending was funny but forced and could have been developed edited better. However I feel that Nick Scown managed to make the most out of the small indie film budget he was given. There are no huge special effects yet the film didn’t seem homemade at any point. Overall I really feel that Nick Scown has potential and will continue to improve as a director as he gains experience
I did really enjoy this movie, it was very funny. I feel proud about the Director who graduated from UM and did a great job with making this new film. At the beginning of the movie I thought it would be very predictable but it ended up being totally different of what I expected. I enjoyed the whole drama that was integrated in the movie, for example, when the person who kidnapped Gloria was the freak intellectual little girl. I felt identified with Gloria, the main character because some people still have trauma with some past experiences. Overall the movie was well done although it still need some editing.
I can honestly say that Yellow Submarine was my favorite film from my childhood. I have watched this film countless times and it really brought back memories of my childhood. However it had been at least 10 years since I had last seen it and my view on the film has somewhat changed. As a child I felt this film was nothing more than a cartoon meant for kids with a great soundtrack. After watching it I felt that maybe the film was meant for more that just light entertainment for children. Maybe all these bright changing colors had more than just an aesthetic value. I am not jumping to any conclusions but I can confidently say that Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds had more meaning behind it now than it did when I was 8 years old. Although I had changed the way I look at this film my love for it hadn’t. The crazy images, great British accents and jokes about the band were as entertaining as ever. I do not believe that a film needs a solid plot to be appreciated because one of the reasons I like this film is that you don’t know what’s coming next. It was great to watch this film again and I can only say that it had me just as enthralled as it did the first time only this time my mind might have been running on something more than just childhood innocence.
Historias De La Urbe. Cosford Cinema. April 23- Monday 6:30pm.
Historias de la Urbe is a film that tracks the lives of several immigrants all from different countries as the move to life in Miami. This film was very confusing and hard to follow. I would try and use my understanding of Miami to work out what was going on but even that proved difficult. From what I managed to work out the film talked about people who came to America to seek better life. Yet this does not happen as they had expected. They come up against countless obstacles and the filmed is filled with some really shocking graphic drama. Although the fill was very confusing there were times when I got really into the stories of the character. I think the film was made with a larger purpose behind it. The Forte siblings were trying to get across the image that life in America isn’t as easy as it seems. I wouldn’t recommend this film but it is certainly an experience to watch.
I explored so many websites as I need to set up a swimming pool filtration plant for the treatment of my pool and I must admit this website is offering the best deals and the most advanced equipments.
