Director: Martin Scorsese
For your blog post on a movie that GoodFellas reminds you of, write a film review based on the four parts mentioned in class:
1) PLOT TEASE...describe the inciting incident (what kick starts the events of the film) and main characters of the film (identifying which actor plays who).
2) CAST AND CREW BACKTRACK...describe what people might know 1-2 actors/screenwriters/directors from and how the film differs from their previous work (look up this info on IMDb.com if you need to).
3) OPINION FOCUS...without giving away twists or endings, offer a specific opinion you have on the film, based on a vocab word you haven't used in a post yet. (EXAMPLE FOR THIS WEEK: did the actors use method acting or the alienation effect and how did this affect how much you liked/disliked the film?)
4) FINAL THOUGHT...ultimately, would you recommend this film and why or why not? Does it remind you of the film we watched in class? How or how not?
!!!DON'T FORGET!!!
TITLE = Your Film (Year It Was Released)
PICTURE = Your Film's Poster + Director Listed Underneath
INITIALS = Your initials in the 'Labels' section
EXTRA CREDIT: comments on other classmates' posts offering your opinion on the film they blogged about (5 points per detailed insightful comment)
