Movie is a film that can be watched at a theater or at home on your television. A movie can be a comedy, drama, thriller or action. Usually movies have a lot of special effects. Movies can be very entertaining and can make a lot of money for the studios who make them.
During the early years of movies, they were one static shot that showed an event or action with no editing or other cinematic techniques. Around the turn of the century, filmmakers started putting several shots together to tell a story. Filmmakers discovered that when one scene followed another, the audience would connect the content in each shot and see a plot (story).
Horror movies scare the audience by showing something scary like a monster, ghost or zombie. They use music and lighting to add to the feeling of fear. Thrillers have a plot that keeps the audience on edge. They have a lot of suspense (not knowing what will happen next). They often have ‘twists’ in the plot that keep the audience guessing. Dramas have a plot that is about people in trouble. They have a lot of emotion and sometimes make the audience cry. Romantic comedies have a love story and are very lighthearted and fun. Science fiction movies are about things that are not real. They can have things like aliens and robots in them.
The Coen brothers are masters at creating characters with both depth and dimension, from the spineless used-car salesman Barton Fink to the baby-snatching police chief Marge Gunderson in this sly, subzero crime drama. But it’s McDormand who stands out, in this free-flowing comedy that combines Robert Altman’s love for detail with the shaggy-dog lyricism of Richard Linklater’s high school dramas.
This shocking indictment of how Brazilian police treated street kids pushed the limits of state censorship in its day. With its nonprofessional cast and stripped-down, documentary realism, Babenco’s film paved the way for such eye-openers as De Sica’s “Shoeshine” and Bunuel’s “Los Olvidados” and Fernando Meirelles’ “City of God.”
The wealthy Park family lives high on Seoul’s hill while the broke Kims wiggle in sewer water up to their knees, in this gripping best picture winner that eschews easy answers to explore the moral chasm between social classes. Bong Joon Ho’s masterful use of camera movement, sound and music further cements his status as a world-class director.
