Reviews and Ramblings

     Alright so, here is my review from Rear Window that I wrote last year. I breaifly scanned it and it seems fine to me.      In this film, half of the shots have fuzzy corners, as to mimmic the vision that the main character is seeing. Since this film was made in 1954, the film is grainy. However, with the plot and setting, it works completely. The main character is constricted to a wheelchair because he broke his leg. He is a newspaper photographer so he has a lot of film equipment in his apartment. So, he uses this to spy on his neighbors. The fuzzy corners, are to show what he sees through the camera lens as he watches his neighbors.      With these corners, it gives the film a feel like reality. Like you actually there, watching them. Since the entire film is from his apartment, you only see the changes of night and day. And what is outside in others' private worlds. A lot of the movie is at da...

     So, I think I have a test next period on chapter 1 vocabulary in German but, I have no idea. I beieve it actually might be on the genetive case, which is possessive case.      I am still a bit confused on that as well because the first day Frau Theiss explained it, I was on a field trip thus, I missed it. However, even though that was a week ago, I still don't quite understand it fully.      But, I am speaking more spanish lately, and I am actually mixing up spanish and german words again. One mixed phrase I keep saying is 'Ich bin Hambre.' Which is I am hungry, but in german and spanish.      That's how crazy I am.      Oh, and lovely enough, I will probably get put in my home school, whether by Dillard or my parents. Once they find out about the little 'academic probation' situation, my dad will probably ship me to McArthur. At least I will have some ...

     Lola, Rennt ist ein movie das ist originally in Deustch. In English, that means, Run, Lola, Run is a movie that was originally made in German. This is one of the most recent movies I have seen in Cinematography, my current 4th period class. Ina nut shell, it is about Lola, running around the city, in three different versions of the same scenerio. Since this is the case, all of the characters are wearing the same exact costuming throughout the entire film. Of course, there are parts of the film where there are glitches and you can pick out where the still photographer did not do his job properly. There are no costume changes in the film, but it seems like one of the actors plays multiple parts throughout the film. However, there are parts of the movie where people get killed and then they are back in the next part. So really, no one actually does die in this film. This is only because of the different versions of the scenerio.    ...

      Ararat is a film depicting the Armenian Genocide , which the Turks still deny ever happened. The movie basically skips around a few stories, which tie together completely. An artist, Arshile Gorky's, time painting a picture of him and his mother, while he currently living in New York, taken back in Armenia. He ended up killing himself. The stories that tie into that, are first mostly, the time of the Armenian Genocide, in which Gorky lived through, and the story of a boy, Rafi who is on a mission to find out the meaning behind the connection of the genocide and his father's death and life. A few more characters also have parts in the last story in where they also connect with other things that happen throughout the film.      This film is a bit confusing because it jumps around a lot. I think the director did that purposely to keep the audience on it's toes. You must pay attention because all of this is important to how things hap...
