The Age of Adaline
What is a great movie? I believe that there is no universal answer to this question. People like different movies just as they like different songs or cars. However, there is always a list of a must see films. It is based on the most popular movies of the year. In many cases movies from that list are really good, but The Age of Adaline is a great one. Intriguing and engaging plot, amazing cast, and relatable characters made it my top one choice of 2015.

He managed to create a wonderful motion picture, without having much experience. The Age of Adaline is basically the story of …show more content…

The good movie should answer all main questions and explain the main events, so The Age of Adalinecan be considered as a film with the good script. It was written by J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz. There are two main love stories, which are connected to each other. The first one, the relationships of Adaline and Ellis, takes place in the 21st century. The second one happened in the 1960s with Adaline and William Jones, the father of Ellis Jones. Their story is shown through memories of Adaline and William. It is very hard to underestimate the role of Adaline in William’s life: he never forgot her, he never stopped admiring her, he never stopped loving her, but I believe that it was not the true love, because later he met Kathy, who was “love of my life, mate of my soul, mother of my lovely children”. Goodloe and Paskowitz did a great job while writing the dialogues in the flashbacks.They managed to show a wide range of emotions by using only words. Moreover, they connected and contrasted at the same time these two love stories. Theculmination of the stories was the understanding thatEllis, not William, was the love of Adaline’s life and vice

In normal films, we expect films to unravel in chronological order.

What Can “Forrest Gump” (1994) Teach Us About Scriptwriting? Forrest Gump (1994), an American comedy-drama film based on the novel by Winston Groom, with the screenplay adapted by Eric Roth, tells the story of a mentally disabled and very kind-hearted child that comes to lead an extraordinary life. The movie revolves around the irony that the protagonist, Forrest Gump, even though the most simple-minded character in the film, becomes the most successful, as his talents involve him in US history's most prominent historical events between the 50's and 80's. The storyline is very character-driven and resembles a ‘vignette into one's life' as opposed to having a traditional story structure. This is seen through the feather motif and the well-known

Both start the play preoccupied with their own concerns, Orsino is worried about finding love, specifically with Olivia, meanwhile she is busy mourning the death of her brother by refusing to marry anyone for seven years. However, it is Orsino’s obsession with seeking love and how he goes about pursuing Olivia that best exemplifies the problematic nature of a male and female’s relationship. Orsino opened the play by saying of love, “Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, / The appetite may sicken and so die” (1.1.1-3), essentially saying that he so badly craves the feeling being in love gives him, that he would like in so great a quantity that it would end his life.
