III. The cutting room floor. What was your first initial reaction to the film? To the story: I think that it is a really interesting way to show what life was like living in the colonies when British soldiers took over. To the actors: I think that actors portrayed their character very well. In the beginning I thought it was a little weird but it took me some time to adjust to the characters and what life was like back then. Describe your favorite scene: My favorite scene was when Ben and Captain Simcoe where eating dinner together. I think this because it was weird to see how Ben treated the prisoner as a normal man. Even when Simcoe would say something with a smart mouth Ben would ignore it. Yet Caleb later in that scene got very angry at Simcoe when he said something smart and beat him. I like that scene because it shows a big difference between the personalities of Ben and Caleb. Movie Critic: I would give this show a four out of

In addition, I think if we ran it one or two more times, we could have tightened up the scene more. Aside from that, the audience reacted very well to the scene. A lot of people enjoyed it and we got a lot of positive feedback. If I were to do this scene again, I would maybe have changed the characters around a little bit. The roles we had worked, however, I think it wasn’t the strongest

A League Of Their Own Film Analysis

995 Words | 4 Pages

The film I am analyzing, A League of Their Own, would be categorized as a narrative film about the growth of women’s baseball teams during World War II. It follows the dramatized story of Dottie Hinson’s time in her baseball league and their struggles to make women’s baseball be taken seriously; however, the film focuses more on Dottie’s personal goals and relationships. With the added personal challenge of Dottie’s increasing rivalry with her sibling, Kit, as well as the uncaring attitude of their manager, Jimmy Dugan, Dottie’s tale is filled with tension and emotion that is shaped to draw the audience in. To showcase the drama of the film and to help the audience become attached to the stories of the characters, the movie uses flashbacks, comedy, and interpersonal drama to manufacture the story of our main character, Dottie, more interesting and engaging to the audience. As is easily evident simply by the summary of the movie, A League of Their Own is a nonfiction, narrative film made for entertainment and drama, and uses the time period as the circumstances of the story relevant to the audience.

Ap English Drama Script

What did you like about this script? I liked that this script presents such a severely psychologically damage character with the protagonist, Brent. I also enjoyed seeing the level at which Brent is still haunted by the terror his father bestowed upon him as a child continuously present throughout the narrative. Regardless of Brent’s determination to separate himself from his father and the abuse he grew up with, it is clear that Brent is still emotionally stunted even as an adult. I also liked watching Brent’s love for literature grow throughout the script, especially considering he started living in the woods when he was nine years old.

Proof Critique Today I saw a performance of Proof, as acted out by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse theatre department. Overall, I thought the cast and crew did a wonderful job on the play. It was very interesting to see the play acted out rather than read it off of a script. Due to my lack of imagination, the play was much better performed than I imagined when I read it.
