Memento is a kind of movie that I have never seen before. The movie tells will be confused early on when they see this movie because Memento is presented as two different parts of scenes changing during the film: black and white scenes shown the scene in order and color scenes shown in reverse order. The two scenes meet at the end of the movie, as a cohesive narrative. The thriller film was directed by my favorite director Christopher Nolan who is a famous director who had success with Batman and The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005–2012), Inception (2010) and Interstellar (2014) .Everyone who saw The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception and Interstellar will recognize Nolan’s style. Nolan usually makes enigmatical film in philosophical, sociological and …show more content…
Additionally, we feel the incredulity of Leonard when he tell stories of Sammy and wants to find the truth of the murderer who killed and raped his wife. A composer use piano, keyboard, violin and bass to makes sad sound, playing when Natalie and Leonard said about losing their beloved. But in the film doesn’t often use sound because they use silence and the actor to build feeling. The director uses the first person aspect to direct this film because it shows the situation Leonard facing. The director uses the clever technique to use color to distinguish the different scenes easily. He tries to present puzzles by panning the camera to the puzzle in order to make viewers think about it. Finally, Memento is the best movie for me because of the complicity of the acting by Guy Pearce who gives a very good performance of having amnesia. In one scene, you will see how he tries to find a pen to write a complicated note but in a few minutes he lost the memory, he acts like he really has Amnesia.In addition, I like the direction of Christopher Nolan. Although the story in the films rather simple, the narrative structure is very clever and complex, which demands constant attention from me. The reverse narrative structure of the color scene with its conclusion was revealed in the beginning of the
He takes the viewer on a journey and delivers exactly what you want at the end which leaves the viewer with a sincere sense of contentment. The mise-en-scene in these movies was very similar but appropriate for each
It makes the viewer question how their truths are influenced by our perspective and experiences. In addition to impeccable directing the movie is accompanied by outstanding cinematography and amazing wardrobe. The cinematography by Amy Vincent is simply outstanding she brings every scene to live with an amazing color scheme that tells a story of its own. For example, when Mozelle gets a premonition the dark colors and the harsh texture that is used is breathtaking and also when Mozelle tells Eve about her past husbands is it just impeccable. The way that scene was directed was just amazing.
With fast-paced action and suspense, Richard Connell begets an electrifying mood to tell an enduring
The director uses flashbacks and dreams to slow down the time as well as engage his audience more. It also is a symbol to send a deeper
Sound is very important in this film because of lot of sound is edited to fit in certain spots including music. During the activist movement, we can clearly hear the hurt in these people voices. Riots, shouting and clapping were all heard in most of the shots along with a voice in the background explaining exactly what is going on. Music was edited into some of the scenes to help give more of a scary or haunted approach. There was also sounds that were in scenes which sounded like someone or something huge is about to take place.
In additional, the unexpected and twisted ending of the movie makes more sense to their viewers. Even after completing the movie, the viewers' will still be imagining about it. "The Sixth Sense is one of the few genre films that truly discuss what horror really is, by filtering it through the experience of a frightened small child. Indirectly, it is also discussing misdirection, an all-important part of an illusionist's craft, in the form of the "magic trick" of hiding the plot twist. So the qualities of M. Night Shyamalan's signature film are evident.
The editing, camera angles, and the music all rang bell. Comparing this film to the preview films weve watched this one was beyond in a different level. The film broke the hays code the
In the year 2000, the philosophical movie genre was once again revolutionized when the psychological thriller, Memento, was released. Directed by Christopher Nolan and portrayed by Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano, Memento became an instant classic, as Christopher Nolan again blew audiences away as Memento 's plot was portrayed chronologically backward, with flashbacks leading to the movie 's climax. It was praised by many neuroscientists for it is nearly a perfect representation of how memory works when limited by a mental deficiency. Memento dove into the different philosophical topics of memory, mind, and personal identity. Memento follows the life of ex-insurance investigator, Leonard Shelby, who is hunting
The movie overlaps the interviews to tell the life story of Kane while the flashbacks are doing the storytelling. The story is not told in chronologic manor, uses several techniques to tell the story of Kane. The angles used to portray certain scenes, getting all of views in, having lighting changes, shadows are all creative to the movie and introducing these techniques into Hollywood
I have always viewed movies as mood boosters. Whenever I watch a movie, I judge how good it is according to how well I understand the story. This is why I never truly understand how critics rate movies. However, upon reading John Berger’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye”, I start to understand how paying attention to the different components of a film helps in understanding the essence of a story. As Berger once said, “There is no film that does not partake of dream.
Early in the film, the importance of background music and its use can be seen. The music is used to create the mood, whether it be the eerie violin audio that often can be heard at times where suspense is anticipated or the same music to create sorrow for the overall significance of the film. The film being built upon a murder case creates fury and differing viewpoints between the main characters which often can be related to prejudice. The use of details not only makes the murder more interesting but also the overall scene more intense. The detailed dialogue among the characters is so precise it offers minute details such as the witness statement of the time of the crime, the entry way of the weapon, and the witness testifying without her glasses.
Spielberg did an amazing job at setting the mood for each scene. For instance, he would intensify the music when something significant was about to happen, putting the viewers on the edge of their seats. Spielberg also used gloomy coloring to get the viewer to feel the emotion of the characters at given times. Even the way that some scenes were shot made it more intriguing to watch. When Katherine (Meryl Streep) was on the phone discussing the potential downfall if they were to publish, Spielberg filmed an aerial shot.
Overall, minus a few hiccups, I greatly enjoyed this movie. The three aspects that most grabbed my attention becoming the sources of my enjoyment were character portrayal, the symbolism used in almost every scene, and connections to my own life experiences. I have always been a great supporter of the idea that characters are what makes a film great, for they are the basis of any narrative and prove to be one of the most
