What does this opening day’s viewing suggest about the difference between sight and insight? Think about the two leading actors in the film: Jimmy Stewart (Jeffries) and Grace Kelly (Liza). How do their looks affect your judgment as a viewer? Have the standards of physical beauty of changed for leading ladies? Do their lives mirror the plot in any way?

Thursday, December 19, 2013. Thus far we've been thinking about shots in terms of focal length. The distance of the subject from the camera) and the angle of the shot. The height of the subject relative to the camera). In last week's post you analyzed a still image from Minority Report, identifying the type of shot, how the image advanced the plot and themes of the movie, and how small details within the shot all contribute to the meaning of the image. This week we'll consider the composition. Want their...

Friday, August 31, 2012. My Summer Movies, 2012. Welcome, fellow film bloggers! In addition to the list you made in the computer lab, write a brief paragraph on one of your movies: your favorite movie, or the one that surprised you the most. For me that movie is What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? The Dark Night Rises. The Queen of Versailles. The Amazing Spider Man. What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte. We Need To Talk About Kevin. No Country for Old Men. The Day of the Jackal.

We both really liked the film. It's a study in mood, and every scene is shot in bleak, color-bled hues: gun metal greys; chestnut browns; rust. (You know the color scheme is pronounced when a color blind guy like me can see the palette! What's nice about this feature - and there's an archive spanning the last...

Sunday, August 28, 2011. Minority Report: The Future Is Now. In order to realize their futuristic vision of the year 2054, Spielberg and Co. called up experts in every field: architecture, computers, law enforcement, education, engineering, etc. At the time some of these futuristic features seemed very far off indeed, but according to recent stories from All Things Considered.
