We’ll be diving into the movie The Gift which was aired in the early 2000’s. This movie was directed by Sam Raimi and written by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson. To me this movie was astonishing from all of the categories we’d gone over in class. This movie focuses on a variety of colors. Not only using color for gloomy and ominous settings along with bright colors for safety, purity and spirituality. These colors also heighten the way people act and accentuate their characters. I loved how the colors were used in this movie because it kept you guessing and on your toes. During beginning of this movie there was a very gloomy sequence it started off very dark with Spanish moss trees which were only dark black outlining. This outlined …show more content…

They have a few encounters throughout this movie. One of the major scenes happens when Valarie decides to go back to see Annie. Donnie drags Valarie out of the house by her hair where she is dragged across the floor into red paint. The red paint got accented on Valarie’s clothes because she was wearing white light colors. This shows she meant to harm but Donnie was a whole lot of trouble. This made it seem like he was the one to kill the victim because he was so violent whereas Wayne had a very innocent happy attitude going for him. I routed for Donnie to be thrown in jail because he was just a terrible person, but I knew who the real killer was. After all this had happened Annie in a later scene was doing laundry which was all white and she was visited by a spirit which is her Granny, this scene was all white knowing that this was a peaceful spirit. Granny does say “Looks like there’s a storm coming.” Annie then says “No, Granny it’s clear.” Who then responds with “Nu-uh.” The sky gets dark with a very earie, demonic dark feel to it. This showed a warning to Annie. We were flashed with dark colors and dark red blood splatter across the screen with the glimpse of a white lifeless pale body in a matter of seconds. Then the sky automatically clears up again connecting us that the murder hasn’t happened …show more content…

This film was just excellent for giving you clues or throwing you off. I felt like this movie was one of the best thriller movies ever made because it isn’t like the teeny bopper content that people are always looking for. It is a real die hard movie that I recommend everyone to take a look

  • Organized Crime In The Film 'Scarface'

    This movie was a tale of an immigrant seeking money and power who untimely set up his own demise. The producers did a good job at pointing out certain features that let you into the life of an organized crime leader. He tells of his humble beginnings and shows you in details how he rose to the top. The producer had a point to make and I took that point as being you can never get and stay someone good while being bad. The sound effects and graphics also makes this movie. They show just enough to intrigue you but yet not to completely make you sick to your stomach. The music is very telling and

  • Overlook Hotel

    437 Words  | 1 Pages

    This film is outstanding because the plot and story were were completely original from Stephen King’s mind. The characters did a superior job acting, but only one thing drew them back was the child, Danny Torrance (Danny Lloyd) made an ok performance but did do his part in the movie. The time that this movie was set in was the seventies and the character’s clothes portrayed the time zone. The music was very intense and precise to every little detail in the movie that gave it a slight startle every time something happens, the music was conducted by Gordon Stainforth. Some weak things about this film was that during some scenes in the movie, especially towards the end were some confusing plots that didn't seem to make any sense. For example when Wendy was running downstairs to go outside and find Danny it showed a man dressed in a costume that looked to resemble a dog, on top of what seemed to look like Delbert Grady, because it was only a short glimpse. And another example, when at the very end of the movie it showed a picture of the ballroom in black and white, of a party with Jack Torrance in the front. Jack said he had deja vu, but claimed to have never set foot in the hotel. Overall this film is excellent, and brought scares to people's faces and confused minds when the credits

    If I could say anything about this film, I would say its really, really awesome. I could even say it’s one of my favorite movies. I loved the actors and the HUGE twist in the plot that I didn't see coming at all was fantastic. The only bad part of the film that I disliked was a strip bar scene and the swearing, but if you like those things, I guess they would make this film even better (which, in my opinion, is nigh on impossible without their elimination). I would certainly recommend this film selectively to other people, and will certainly watch it again.
