There have been many alien invasion movies, but this one in particular is a little different called the 5th Wave. The thing about the movie is that it has the same type of overrated idea; Aliens invading. Every alien invasion movie has surprising ending, or it is the same idea as the others. 5th Wave is based on the book by Rick Yancey and I am sure that like every movie based on a book this film missed many many things.The movie is aliens trying to take over the earth and people are trying to endure what the aliens throw at them. The movie is about CHILDREN being the next generation and they throw them into a military base. The plot thickens even more, but no spoilers! This story takes place in Ohio and the focal point is about one girl and her life. She has a good normal life as far as the invasion and everything goes awry. Cassie(played by Chloe Grace Moretz) struggles to survive in this apocalypse, but once the aliens start to besiege the earth she has a hard time handling. Everything goes wrong in her world and only she and her brother Sammy (played by Zackary Arthur) are part of the next generation which is redemption …show more content…
The more the movie goes on the more these characters change.For example one of the most I think dramatic character change is the character played by Nick Robinson. He went from this free spirited teen to a teenager that does not care for life anymore. His expressions and his personality changes to the environment and fast! So during an apocalypse your first instinct is to run,hide and survive, yet this Cassie decides to make out with the character Evan Walker. What?Yes you can make out who cares how you can be shot at anytime because you love the other person! This is a ridiculous scene I was in the movies shaking my head, and I was making that face like what are they doing. Overall the movie was
...age and the crisis of integrity versus despair however, the two characters had different characteristics that categorize them in different ends of the crisis. Throughout the movie, the audience is able to visualize what types of issues are dealt with as well as what type of problems the characters had to go through to resolve their crisis. Chelsea also had different issues than Billy due to the fact; each were facing a different stage as well as crisis. Personally this movie provide me a great understanding in human development; I was able to understand why each person does a certain action: for instance my sister is disrespectful and immature because she is facing the adolescence stage as well as the identity versus role confusion stage. I also learned that a crisis can truly affect a person in a negative; if the person is not able to fully deal with their crisis.
Scream 4 utilizes today’s millennial culture of technology, Youtube, and blogs to once again reinvent the slasher genre. Scream 4 combines just the right amount of comedy within the story to still stay true to the genre and pokes fun at the previous three films and the genre as a whole. Although there is nothing significantly new with regards to the story of Scream 4, the mystery of who is under the mask was well done and keeps the viewer guessing. The identity of the masked killer is a surprising one and makes an interesting comment on fame in modern
This movie is based on changing the lives of Mexican Americans by making a stand and challenging the authority. Even when the cops were against them the whole time and even with the brutal beatings they received within one of the walk out, they held on. They stuck to their guns and they proved their point. The main character was threatened by the school administrators, she was told if she went through with the walkout she would be expelled. While they wanted everyone who was going to graduate to simply look the other way, the students risked it all and gave it their all to make their voices
The movie main character is Cady Heron who is a homeschooled girl. Her and her family lived in Africa for 15 years. They return back to the states and place Cady into a public school for the first time. Cady meets her classmates and finds a few good friends the introduce her to a group of girls called the Plastics. She ends up joining the plastics with the motive of bring them down because her new friend don’t like them very much and thought it would be funny. However, she eventually gets assimilated into the group of three unkind girls and starts to be just like them.
Another viewer is critical towards the movie, stating that the development of main characters is sluggish and ambiguous. In my opinion this statement is completely untrue. Beth definitely develops emotionally throughout the film. At the start she is shown to be deeply in love with Jake but hates his drinking/violent habits. In the middle sector of the film there are many violent scenes showing Beth’s vulnerability and lack of power. The scene after Jake abuses her including the camera zooming onto her bruised face is also a major part of the character development as Beth took a stand after this occurrence and never looked at Jake the same way. After Grace kills herself is where Beth finally stands up to Jake and makes it entirely clear that he is no longer a part of her or her remaining children’s life and takes her family back to her original home.
At this point, the readers create their own movie in a way. They will determine important aspects of how the character speaks, looks like, and reacts. Whereas, in the movie, the reader has no choice but to follow the plot laid out in front of them. No longer can they picture the characters in their own way or come up with their different portrayals. The fate of the story, while still unpredictable, was highly influenced by the way the characters looked, spoke, and presented themselves on screen.

Overall, the casting was very well put together. There were a few things that did not fit what was in the big, First, Rosaleen's character who was played by Jennifer Hudson was not a very good fit for her character. The book describes Rosaleen many times as being a bigger, older woman, while Jennifer Hudson is a young, thin woman. Second, in the book T-Ray is described as being a mean and abusive man. His character in the movie seemed a little too nice. Lastly, Lily was described as having dark black hair like her mother in the book. The movie portrayed her character as a girl with blonde
The 5th Wave is written in sections, differing the viewpoint at each new section. Cassie, the main protagonist, constitutes most of the sections. Cassie’s crush since grade school, Ben Parish, is the other major viewpoint in the book.
The decision of the screenwriter and director to cut out what I felt were several story arcs and scenes from the novel was very disappointing. For example, in the movie there is no mention of Beth's shyness, or of her overcoming that shyness to become friends with Mr. Lawrence. The scene in the novel where she gathers her courage to walk over to his house and thank him for giving her his piano is one of the most defining moments for Beth. Overall I found Beth and Mr. Lawrence to both be sadly underdeveloped in the movie. Mr. Lawrence appears in only three scenes, while many of Beth's key moments also vanished. Jo's wonderful tomboyish nature is also severely tone-down for this version. She does not say "Christopher Columbus"; nor any of her other slang words. We never see the scene where she longs to go be a soldier fighting in the war and wishes she were a man. They transformed the character of Meg from someone who longs for finer things and tends to be snobbish into the wise older sister who does not care about such things. Lacking is the wonderful moment when she realizes that she does not care about Mr. Brook's poverty as she staunchly defends her love of him against Aunt March. While Amy's quest for a perfect nose is mentioned twice, there is never a scene showing some of her efforts such as her wearing the clothespin on it at night to make is straight, nor do we get enjoy watching her artistic endeavors such as her attempts to make a plaster cast of her foot.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
Most people do not believe aliens exist, although some people believe they do. In Stephen Hawking’s article about aliens, he expresses that it would be cool to have another species out there in the universe. Hawking’s tries to figure this out by doing research and performing experiments. He keeps working and trying his best even when tough times come. In The 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey, the main character Cassie, experiences a tough journey fighting aliens. Cassie has to fight aliens to get her brother back, when she does there is even more struggles that she runs into. These struggles will not stop Cassie, she is tough, firm and a hard worker. She will not let her brother get taken from her again. In conclusion, the Author’s purpose, conflict,
Most of the movie kept in context with the sources. The back-stories of the characters that were explored were mostly in sync with the sources. The only area where this was truly lacking was an obvious marketing attempt. The younger X-men that were at the academy at this point in time actually should have been long gone at this point. Both Kitty Pryde and Iceman for example were X-men long before Wolverine or Rouge. However as it is portrayed, there is even so much as a teenage romance blossoming between Rouge and Iceman. This was obviously done for marketing purposes in wanting to include as many X-men in the movie as possible. However, if they decide to make a sequel they will have to address this problem or diverge further and further from the time line of the original source material. All in all I liked the movie though and I thought it was rather good.
I think the character that has changed the most was Judge Wargrave. I think this because one he was one of the only survivors and two because he used to be a judge that up held the law and protected the people. Eventually you whiteness him become a cooled blooded serial killer hell bent on finding justice. The judge even as a child use to love justice. Being a judge just wasn't enough to keep his thirst for justice quenched. The only way to satisfy his need to see things right was to see it in blood. His cause may have been noble but did the outcome justify the
One of the biggest examples of change in the story is Ethan falling in love with Mattie. This is a big change because he is already married to Zeena. The marriage to Zeena is simply a marriage of convenience. It isn't a love marriage and He is starting to fall in love with Mattie. Since Mattie Came to stay with Zeena And Ethan Has Change quite a bit for the better. Zeena and Mattie both Change Ethan in different, Mattie who Ethan is falling in love with changes Ethan in a positive manner, While Zeena Who he is married to Changes him in a more negative matter. Zeena Who always has a negative attitude has probably age Ethan more than the winters and the smash up put together, but since Mattie came Ethan is starting to act nicer and as if he were younger. Where as Zeena Locked Ethan out just because "she was feeling to mean to sleep" Mattie cares about Ethan and actually talks to him. Another noticeable change in Ethan Frome is His opinion of the gravestones. This changes dramatically from The beginning of the novel. In the beginning of the novel these tombstones are like a constant reminder that no one in his family was able to make it out of that town and he wouldn't make it out either.
