For the first movies in your spare time project, I decided
to watch the movie Tower Heist. Tower
Heist (2011) was directed by Brett Ratner who also directed the movie Horrible Bosses (2011). There were also
many famous actors in Tower Heist.
Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, and Matthew Broderick were just some of the actors
that I recognized. Ben Stiller has been in so many things and I actually
watched another movie from for a MYST with him in it. But whenever Eddie Murphy
spoke, I could only picture the donkey from Shrek
(2001). I really liked this movie though and I would definitely recommend it to
anyone who likes action and also comedies because this movie had both action
and comedy parts.
This movie is about a very wealthy man, Arthur Shaw (Alan Alda), who gets caught up in a money problem and is in deep trouble. He took money from his innocent employees and the employees want to get their money back. The leader of the employees is Josh Kovaks (Ben Stiller). He devises a plan to rob Arthur Shaw and get the money back to all the employees.
In the very first scene, there is parallelism because it
shows Arthur Shaw and Josh Kovaks getting ready for work. They go back and
forth switching from looking at Arthur to looking at Josh. One of them puts on
their shirt and then they switch to the other guy and they show him putting on
his shirt. This continues showing them getting dressed and during this they
show a game on the computer of chess going back and forth that is also them
playing against each other. In the movie
there were also many different shots. One shot that I noticed was a long shot
that was also walking with Josh. There were also mid shots, full body shots,
and close ups. There were also many shots that took place in cars.
In the end, there was one shot where four employees who were
going against Arthur were on one side of the truck and Arthur was on the other
side of the truck. This was a composition shot because it showed the group of
four people who went against Arthur and then Arthur on the other side. All in
all, I really liked this movie. I thought it was funny and it was also kind of
an action movie. I would give this movie
5 stars out of 5 because I really liked this movie.
Good job, Laura. I liked it when you discussed those film ideas. Maybe speak a little about what effect they have on the audience.

ReplyDeleteI liked your post because it included a really good background of the actors in the beginning. You had alot of details on the camerawork which included scenes with different camera shots, that was very interesting to read about. Based on your post I want to see the movie.
