forrest gump

This movie was created in 1994 by Robert Zemeckis
This movie was about a boy that was different form others .
But i see him different because is a men with a huge heart is the kind of man that should exist in this world.
He was in love with Jenny his first best friend .
He loved her alot but she always saw him as a friend until they end up together.
It’s amazing this movie
Many people are missing something that others have, but does not make them different.
“”Remember What I Told you, Forrest. You're No Different Than anybody else is. Did You Hear What I said, Forrest? You're the same as everybody else” this quote it’s one of my favorites of that movie and it’s true what the quote tried to tell us ,
getting away from the summary of the movie I will write about the different angles and edited, montages that the editor use to create this great movie.
He use many angles like high angle , eye level,low angle , wide shot also close-up ,
The director used this angles to make the movie different than the others.
The director wanted to realize the different poses you can achieve in a video making.
He made many cuts for example in one part the camera focused in forrest and then in the shoes . (when changing from one shot to another)
also we saw montages like forrest meeting John Kennedy or John Lennon etc. Or when forrest ran we saw how the background changed, was an effect that the director wanted to give to the film a look like the years passed while the ran
The lights that the director used was so important because we could see in the movie that when the interviews appears in televison were always black or an old color.
all this hard work took many days to make everything look real and there was.
Above this you can see pictures about the differents angles and montages that the director used.

the black mariah studio with those of today


was the first movie studio , was created by thomas edison.
in this studio films were recorded , this studio used electricity cameras,the roof was opened because they need the sunlight to film .
if we compare the black mariah with those of today we can find many differences.
1) black mariah needed the sunlight to film but the studios of today doesn't need sunlight they use lamps,reflectors ,etc.
2) the actors only film until the sun goes but now actors spend the whole night filming until next day.
3)in that time the people film in black mariah studio but now they can film in the place that they want.

the last song


This movie it’s about a girl(ronnie miller) that hate his father because his parents got divorced.
she and her brother spent a entire summer with his father , in that summer she met (Will Blakelee) a rich boy ,he is so beautiful .
at first she did not like him but after a while they began to fall in love .
as time passed she was more closer to her father until they could be father and daughter after a long period of resentment that she had.
Dad had a disease that never told his children because he wanted to spend more time with them, but could not hide the illness for a long time and one day had to be rushed to hospital.

This movie teaches us that we should not have any resentment toward the people we love, we have to overcome any defects that other people have,and remember never is too late to forgive.

the depression era


After the stock market crash of 1929, Hollywood and the entire country(U.S.A) was living a crisis.
many theaters started showing double features and reduced prices. Some theaters did bingo games , but the depression stills there , they need something and the solution for the films industry was adding sex’s scenes.
The first sex movie was “Why don't you come up and see me sometime?“ with Mae West.
All the boys were in love with her because she was voluptuous and had a provocative line.
The film industry ignored the hayes code because the only solution to be out from this crisis was making all the things that the hayes code provided ( kisses,sex,forbidden words,etc)
That’s why sex saved Hollywood.

Charles Chaplin



1889-1977

*he was The first 20th Century superstar.

*he was a comic genius of silent movies

*first seen in the movie ""the tramp""

in which he represented a vagabond boy

* his movies were made for people to understand the reality of the world because in his movies he talked about good and evil in society and the Disparity Between the rich and poor.

*he won a oscar because he was recognized as one of the greatest film talents of the 20th century .

Charles Chaplin's films are good and I saw them at the school when I was little. what I ever saw was when he was in the snow and I loved when he heat the shoe and ate it.---->

although movies were silent and black and white were fun. charles had a lot of imagination because everything he did I laugh.
