Finding Nemo

I watched Finding Nemo last week and i think it is one of the best animated movies made. It is funny, exciting and endlessly imaginative.

The animation is superb, the animators have captured every detail you can imagine, from textures, light, shade and movement. The film is so colourful and looks great on HD. Finding Nemo is an outstanding aquatic animation and i recommend people to watch it, it will definitely put a smile back onto your face.

Gladiator

A film which has to be my favorite film ever is Gladiator. I love Gladiator because i feel it is one of the best made films yet. It is realistic due to the amazing graphics created, one scene which is created so realistically and skillfully is the fight scenes in the Colosseum. Without such amazing artistic ability, the film would not carry the same mind blowing effect of recreating such historic events.

Another aspect of the film which is inspiring is the music soundtrack to the film. The music composed by Hans Zimmer  is chilling and extremely moving. The film without the music would not have the same impact on the viewer.

Gladiator is a realistic and powerful film, and i deeply recommend it.

Forest Gump

A Film I watched which has inspired me is Forest Gump. This film is a story of a man called Forest Gump ( Played by Tom Hanks), who is a highly intelligent man and tells the story of his epic journey through life. During this journey, he meets historical figures, and experiences famous historic events. A story of determination, courage, achievement and love, Forest Gump leaves you with a message that even the most simplest person can achieve whatever he/she wants to achieve.

Shawshank Redemption

Shawshank Redemption, a 1995 film starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is one of the most inspiring films ever made. Its about a man a who is wrongly convicted for murdering his wife and her lover, and he is then unfairly sentenced at the notorious Shawshank prison in Maine.

In the prison Tim Robbins (Andy Duframe) befriends with a Morgan Freeman ( Red). And they both form a powerful and loyal friendship.

I wont explain the whole synopsis of the story, just in case you havn't seen it yet. 

However this film is breathtaking and also leaves you with a strong feeling of hope at the end of it. It also teaches you about how valuable friendship is.

Who framed Roger Rabbit


Who framed Roger Rabbit is a film which had inspired me because I love the animation which was produced by British animation director Richard Williams. Richard Williams Pulls off a technically amazing interaction of ink-and- paint cartoon characters with real- life actors. Who framed Roger Rabbit is a turning point for films, where other films were made shortly after using this same effect. It just shows that real-life and animated cartoons/drawings do and can work well together, to create a convincing and fun effect to design. 

Schindler's List

A film which is a powerful and inspiring film to me is Schindler's List directed by Stephen Speilberg. It is a true story of Oskar Schindler who saves thousands of Jewish lives during the Holocaust. 

One thing which i love about the film, is the way that it was filmed. The way that it is filmed in black and white gives the viewer the sense of the time . And to add to this there is a tiny bit of colour used within the filming to create emphasis, this is used to symbolize the little girl in the red coat. With the little girl standing out due to the red being added, it creates focus on her and the viewer can then track her actions and life throughout the film. In the film the little girl is sadly seen dead on a pile of corpses, with the red coat still visible and standing out amongst the rest of the dead bodies. The red works well with the film, because it resembles the bloodstain that the Holocaust brought.

Another moving part of the film is the beautifully orchestrated music composed by one of my favorites, John Williams. The music really makes the film, and without such an outstanding soundtrack the film would not have been so impacting. A dramatic and emotionally moving film that is worth seeing.
