The Hughes Brothers

This is one of the close-ups pictures i chose from "Menace 2 Society". I picked this photo because I believe that The Hughes Brothers wanted to show viewers the face expression on a person's face when they get shot. Its like when you are not expecting something, and it hits you shock comes. Knowing that you are pouring out blood, all thats running through your mine is that you are about to die. Thats why i think they wanted to make this certain shot as a close-up.

After Menace 2 Society, The Hughes Brothers directed another drama movie. "Dead Presidents." I think this certain shot would be a Binary Opposition (Men Vs. Nature). I say that because in this film, a group of guys come home from a war and they deal with changes in their community. Drugs, sex, etc. plays a role in the changes they went through. The most factor was money. This photo shows the guys after robbing a bank security truck, they stands there and watch the truck explode.

My last photo is Zoom In shot of Johnny Depp. Starring in the film From Hell. I never saw this film before, but by the looks of the photo, it seems Johnny was saying something important. Overall, The Hughes Brothers uses the types of shots in his movie. I think thats what makes their movies tight. Being directors, they know the right time to use different shots. I hope The Hughes Brothers direct another movie in the future.

• When directing a film, is their a time where ya'll think about making a comedy or romance movie?


• Would the Hughes Brothers ever think about directing a movie alone? why? or why not?

Unbreakable

Year: 2000





Genre: Mystery/Thriller





Director: M. Night Shyamalan





Screenwriter: M. Night Shyamalan





Two Main Stars: Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson





Around this time, the election between Al Gore and George Bush was going on. In this movie, Bruce Willis became a superhero after he survived a train crash. Throughout the movie he couldn't be touched. After all Bruce stood on top. In the election between Gore and Bush, there was a big conflict. When it came down to the end, Bush was still standing and he won. I think the message between the movie and the election is the better man wins all the time.

I think the filmmaker believed that good guys dont always win at the end. I personaly believe that because in this movie the bad guy seemed to be alive and the good guy died. It made it a good movie in most movies the good guy always win. So what the filmmaker wanted to do is give it a twist to make the movie more excited and interesting for the audience.

In your opinion, give me one reason why you think this movie relates to the Gore and Bush election? Are there other events that Unbreakable relates to? if so, tell me why or why not?

Baby Blues 2

Year: 2008
Genre: Thriller

Director: Lars E. Jacobson and Amardeep Kaleka

Screenwriter(s): Lars E. Jacobson

Starring: Colleen Porch and Ridge Canipe

One reason this movie fits into its genre because the mom has a huge depression problem and goes on a killing spree while her oldest son (Jimmy) tries to protect the victims. The thriller part about the movie is the killing. If you think of thriller, killing comes to mind.

One reason "Baby Blues" doesnt fit into the genre because i think of it more as a suspense movie. Why? Because its based on a actual event and its like one setting movie.

1: If you seen this movie, thinking about our class vocabs, does this movie use some of them?

2: How would the director get your attention in a thriller movie like this one?

Leprechaun In The Hood

Year: 2008

Genre: Action, Comedy, and Horror

Director: Rob Spera

Screenwriter: Doug Hall

I recommend students to see this if you haven't already seen it because its funny to see people test a little green man. Another reason why i recommend this movie because i would like people to see that males thats in the hood has something that makes them scared. LOL!!! Word advise, don't mess with anybody gold.

1. Is there really gold at the end of the rainbow?

2. How does the director make up an character like this one?

Meet The Browns

Year: 2008

Genre:Comedy, Drama, Romance

Director:Tyler Perry

Screenwriter:Tyler Perry

Starring:Angela Bassett and Rick Fox

Two reasons why this movie should be seen because its an eye catcher. If you like to laugh a lot i suggest you to go see a Tyler Perry movie. My last reason why classmates should see this movie because its mixed genre. There can be some laughs or some Awww's. Also you should check out the play.

1. What is other movies that Tyler Perry directs?

2. How do they pick a certain actor to play a role in a certain mivie?

Citizen Kane

Year: 1941

Genre: Drama/Mystery

Director: Orson Welles

Screenwriters: Herman J. Mankiewicz and Orson Welles

Starring: Orson Welles and Dorothy Comingore

One reason i would reccomend this movie because its about one man and his life story. It gives you some history about a person that you probably never heard of. My reason to the audience why i would not recommed this movie if you are not interested in movies that was made centuries ago.

1. Why did Orson Welles want viewers to know about his inner life and how is relationship with his wives was like?
2. How do you think the director felt when he filmed this biopic?

The Rize

Year: 2005

Genre: Documentary/Music

Director: David LaChapelle

Starring: Tommy the Clown and Tight Eyez

I recommend people to see this movie for two reasons.

One: It's a great movie if you like dancing.

Two: It shows that Young African Americans can do something constructional besides hanging out in the streets.

Questions: Where was this movie filmed?

Who created this dance thats in the movie and what made the stars create it?
