Memento

All though i thought Memento was a very confusing movie, i found it to be fascinating. I have never seen a movie with this style, filming technique, or story line. Even thought i missed a few days and was totally confused for about half of the movie, i still understood the plot, and exactly what was going on because the director did a really good job of going in depth, and repeating the movie, so you understand bit by bit. I would highly recommend this movie, because it makes you think so much, but in the end, you don't know what to believe, so even after viewing the film, your still required to think about it to even decipher it.
The director also dose a good job of not letting you just assume whats going to happen, and be right about it. The transitioning between the black/ white scenes, and the color scenes really confused me, but eventually i caught on and the movie started making more and more sense. I have never seen a film filmed this way before, and at first i thought it would get supper annoying, but it didn't at all, it really just helped me figure out what was going on.

double indemnity

I personally think double indemnity is a very well write film noir, and fits along the lines of a film noir in many ways. The main women Phyllis meets Walter and together they come up with this plan to kill her husband after putting him under accident insurance. Phyllis is a much more powerful character than Walter is because shes able to make him fall so much in love with her that hes willing to do anything for her. It also takes place in L.A where many films of this type are filmed because it was cheaper. In the end of the movie it turns out Phyllis was just using Walter and was in love with another man so he killed her. This movie deals with murder and lies, just like all the other typical film noirs. This has become my favorite film noir i have ever seen just because of the characters, the story line, and all the lies and misperception.

Screwball

Bringing up Baby started off to be one of the most horrible, annoying movies i have ever seen. the comedy was worse than all the "scary movies", and Susan was the only character in a movie that was able to give me a horrible headache just from hearing her voice. i personally think the plot of the movie was just dumb, but i guess its a screwball comedy so i should just accept that in any screwball film the plot will be kind of dumb. I would say one of the only good things about this whole movie was David. he was very well acted and was the only character that i didn't want them to be punched in the face randomly throughout the whole film. i personally wouldn't recommend it, but maybe its because i don't exactly like screwball comedy's at all. but if you want to see a ridiculous story with a lot of reticulesacting, this just might be your movie.

Star Wars

Star Was is considered a major breakthrough of its time. No movie prior to this has ever had such editing, special effects, and usage of the camera. But i would personally say that the most important, dramatic, and braking seen is when Luke finds out Darth Vader is actually his father. They use many different kinds of photography in just this scene alone. For example during the shot they use a few long shots, to show the location of the fight, but they also use a lot of close ups, and medium shots. But i personally think the most important shots in this scene is when Luke is looking up at Darth and he tells Luke that he is his father, which is a low angle looking up at Darth. And shortly after that it is a high angle looking down at Luke's reaction. The reason i picked this scene and only this seen to talk about is because i think its what made Star Wars such an amazing movies and honestly i think the line "Luke, i am your father" is one of the most famous movie lines of all time.
