A truly beautiful film. So what about the other movie for tonight Margaret?

Monsieur Lazhar

M: Our second movie for tonight’s show, Monsieur Lazhar, is an exceptionally emotional masterpiece directed by Philippe Falardeau. With a short, but passionate run time of an hour and a half. However this film didn’t run short on any awards, being picked for over eight awards, and a nomination for a 2012 Oscar.
D: It’s certainly not hard to understand why, equipped with its tender storyline. Monsieur Lazhar shines in the foreign film spotlight, scoring 7.5/10 on IMDb, and rightfully so. So tell us about the movie itself Margaret.
M: Well… Set in the town of Montreal, an admired teacher abruptly commits suicide within her classroom, completely shattering their calm morale. With the kids shaken from terror, Mr Lazhar, an Algerian immigrant hears of this news and seeks the new teacher position and take care of the disturbed children.
D: Lazhar takes the children under his arm caringly, and teaching the children like they were his own. Overtime they form a family like bond, filling the void of their recent losses. Much like the Intouchables, the class and Lazhar complete each other, creating support for their depressed

In the book there weren’t as many air raids, but when there were they weren’t nearly as bad as in the movie. Additionally, the movie has more scenes than the book. For example, the movie had two thief scenes when the book only had one.…

    The award-winning Entre les murs, directed by Laurent Cantet, follows the story of a difficult French language and literature class, but more specifically, the relationship between the class and their teacher Monsieur Marin. This relationship is often portrayed as strained and difficult but we are also shown a more pleasant side to it as well. The film has a documentary feel to it due to the use of a hand held camera, diegetic sound and a lack of music which is usually seen in films. Many techniques are used throughout the film to represent the relationship between François and the class including the use of dialogue and filming styles. Both the pupils and teachers from Entre les murs are pupils and teachers in real life (Day 2009)…

    The film "My Fair Lady" directed by George Cukor is an adaptation of the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw. The movie is set in London in the early 1900s. Although the film has too many songs, I believe that it is overall very good and has great actors and actresses castes to play the rolls, and scenes that are an addition to the book that add a great new taste! The movie My Fair Lady starts with the main character, Eliza, as a poor girl selling flowers on an England street corner.…

    The mise-en-scene of the movie is very realistic and authentic. The color palette between the white and black is really distinct to the eyes, it has a very particular stylistic difference. The acting used in the film seems to be method acting and in the particular situation method acting was a very good choice of the direction since it is a very historical film and also brought to life by some British actors. The musical choices of the movies are also very distinct and give another face to the film.…

    Krisha Movie Analysis

    • 456 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The caustically bitter, micro-budget feature “Krisha” is a serious candidate to the best drama of the year. Cleverly engendered by Trey Edward Shults, who also plays himself in the film, this genuinely disturbing story is 100% fictional but feels immensely realistic, and the reasons for that can be easily explained. In order to enhance intimacy among the actors, the writer/filmmaker hired some close relatives but swapped their roles within the fictitious family. Thus, his real mother, Robyn Fairchild, played his aunt in the film, while his real aunt, Krisha Fairchild, became an unexpected star as she plays his frustrated mother who attempts to reconnect with her estranged son while recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.…

    veryone loves a good movie, especially when this movie is full of action packed scenes that gets your adrenalin pumping. That is why I have chosen two similar movies to come to a conclusion of which is better. In this paper, I will be arguing between Divergent and The Maze Runner to determine which is worth your time to see. When I see a movie, I want to be transported and immersed in that world and compelled to identify with the characters. Divergent does this by telling the point of view from the main character, Tris in a futuristic world that has fallen to ruins.…

    I have chosen to watch the film A Prophet and write a reaction paper about it. It is a French prison drama and crime movie directed by Jacques Audiard in 2009 and released in 2010. He wrote the script with the help of Nicolas Peufaillit, Thomas Bidegain, and Abdel Raouf Dafri. The main character in the film is Malik (Tahar Rahim), who went to prison because of a single petty crime and later becomes a drug trafficker and an assassin. The film compliments what I have learned about 20th-century European history in class, and it reminds me of a news article Suspected Boss of Corsican Mob Reported Dead that I have read recently from usatoday.com.…

    The language choice of the movie more funny then serious. This is a movie that make the audience laugh and have a great time. They also have a lot of music in this movie which makes the movie even more interesting. Most of this music was really good too. Without the music scenes this movie definitely won’t be as good because the music adds more sense of communication with the audience.…
