Oh, this movie. This movie, has to be the my least favorite movies I have watched so far. It 's over-complicated, boring, and confusing all in one, the trinity of pretentiousness that the people who give this movie 100% on rotten tomatoes, that means it beats "The Thing" "Cabin in The Woods" "Anomilisa" and one of my favorite shows, "Neon Genisis Evangelion", who of which doesn 't even have a critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. "The Maltese Falcon" is in no way a bad movie, just painfully bland and boring. If I give away anything important to the movie, I 'm sorry, but I won 't really care. "The Maltese Falcon" is directed by John Huston and acted by Humphery Bogart as Same Spade, a detective who is given a case by Mary Astore, as Ruth Wonderly, to tail her sister 's fiancée Thursby, who she grows to find very suspicious of, but when his partner Mills Archer, played by Jerome Cowan, goes to tail him, he is then shot in the crouch, that is a painful way to die, and left in a ditch. After his murder, Sam is now tasked with finding his partner 's killer and to eventually get tangled up in the search for The Maltese Falcon, in some way, I don 't know how because of this movie 's problem in communicating that info which I will explain throughout the review. First, The Acting: A piece of the pie of how this movie ruins it 's communication with the audience; the acting in this movie I found bland and, in some areas, laughable. One of the main problems with the acting is how the actors talk, they talk to fast and so unclearly that I got confused on why something is happening. The talking wasn 't the only problem though, just the expressions alone not only make it worse, but are some of the only enjoyable …show more content…

Athanasourelis’s article depicts Sam Spade’s individuality through his actions leading up to Brigid O’Shaughnessy’s conviction. Sam’s initial intentions are to help Brigid avoid the police. Upon coming to the conclusion that Brigid is the only suspect in the murder of Archer, Sam knows he has to turn her into the authorities. The article discusses that although it may seem as if Sam is acting justly, he is truly just turning Brigid in to avoid his own persecution for the crimes others committed.

There's a difference between the movie and the book. The book tells you all the details and the movie only tells you the importance of the story. Sometimes the movie will change the story, and it will make a difference. Reading the book was easy, I could understand it better and I could follow along with the book. The movie was ok, it told us the importance of the book, but it didn’t tell us everything, it made a lot of changes.

I enjoyed the movie better than the book. It included just the right amount of action scenes, description words, and details from the story. The story was amazing but I like seeing things more than reading them. I usually like the movies better than the book.

With loads of sarcasm from the ex-couple, this movie is sure to be a good one for the family. Casting is excellent, with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in the top roles. Perhaps the funniest, certainly the fastest talkie comedy ever made. This brilliant reworking of the classic newspaper play The Front Page from director Howard Hawks is the fastest-talking comedy in the history of Hollywood and the perfect vehicle for Cary Grant - never better - and Rosalind Russell - never tougher.

Death, the narrator, describes the souls he collects and the reader hears him throughout the book, always there, but
