10 Cloverfield Lane Essay

727 Words3 Pages

10 Cloverfield Lane is an intense sci-fi thrill. Before going to see this film, I already had an idea in my head of how the film would be. I saw the first one and I was completely disappointed with the entire film. After learning that J.J. Abrams would be the producer of this film, it raised both my excitement and expectation of the film. The combination of the acting, special effects, and sounds completely made this movie better than I could've imagined. Most of 10 Cloverfield Lane takes place in an underground shelter that the main character, Howard (John Goodman) builds for himself. Since the film takes place within the small confines of this shelter, it relies heavily on the actors performances more than anything else. This isn't the type …show more content…

There isn't as much soundtrack music compared to other thrillers so the film relied more heavily on the sounds that seem to come from both inside and outside of the shelter. Michelle often uses sounds to convey where she is and deduct whether or not it truly is safe to go outside. The sounds of the film are heightened in order to give to film a more unsettling and tense feeling. Invisible sounds help to create these feelings such as the creaking of the stairs, opening and closing of locks, moaning pipes, and when Michelle believes that she has heard a car above her room. The sounds are used to tell the inner story and convey Michelle’s emotions as she struggles to deal with her current situation. The few songs that are in this film also help to create an emotional setting for the both the audience and the characters as we all try to determine what might happen next. In the end, 10 Cloverfield Lane is one movie that you shouldn't miss. It is like no movie of its kind, especially the original Cloverfield. Although I might not be willing to fork over another $8 to see this film again in theaters, it is definitely one that I would pick up from Redbox. Overall, I give 10 Cloverfield Lane a 7.5. The combination of the acting, special effects, and sounds help to create an emotional thrill that will keep you

I enjoyed the style of the film. Although many other films have a more sophisticated look, this one is simple, but it captures the audience's attention. The unique art style makes it easier to understand their emotions. Each scene in this movie is hand drawn, which is uncommon for Pixar. The animation captivates the audience because it differs from what they are used to.

10 Cloverfield lane (2016) follows Michelle after she awakens from a car accident and finds herself chained to a pipe in the wall. She soon learns that she was brought to the ‘basement” by the rather intimidating Howard. The basement is actually a doomsday bunker with three occupants: black belt in conspiracy theory, Howard: his former repairman, Emmett: and Michelle, whom Howard saved from her smashed car. With an utterly confusing opening and closing critics initially despised the film, but then praised it for its tension building soundtrack; it is nominated for a Hollywood Music in Media Award. 10 Cloverfield lane un-praised for its less than climatic ending, is praised for its soundtrack and tension building camera shots that create the white-knuckle psychological thriller.

Clover begins by portraying the fact about how slasher films remain ignored by the reprovers. She uses the example of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Page 67) quoting reprovers who accolade the narrative swears Massacre to be imbecilic and a “vile little piece of sick crap". Although, today slasher films continue to be popular and are not ignored by the viewers especially the teenagers.

Quentin Tarantino Pulp Fiction

Which is very impressive after just being the second movie ever that he worked on. The composition of this movie is very unique how scenes are cut off and shift around to random scenes but are still relevant to each other and tell the complete story by the end of the movie. Characters in the movie possess peculiar personalities that are so far from the people we see in our everyday lives, an example would be the scene where John Travolta and Uma Thurman go to a casual diner ‘Jack Rabbit Slims’ that offers burgers and shakes, where many bikers are parked outside hanging out with their motorcycles, Travolta is dressed in a full classic black suit when he enters the diner which is strange and shortly after both Uma and John eat they head to the dance floor and start dancing together in front of everyone sitting

Godzilla Film Analysis

The monsters and the actors deserve an 8.5/10 because they were good, but not great because some of the actors did a horrible job in the movie acting and the monsters looked like it was the same as the movie Charlie’s Angels Full Throttle with the horrible movie effects like they were dangling on some kind of invisible string that couldn’t be seen which was so terrible that I almost threw the remote at the tv, and turned off the movie. I would give the actors that were playing as the characters in the movie an 8/10 in acting in the movie, because they didn’t do a perfect job on acting but they at least got some good emotions into the mix giving the movie a little more spice and
