That's what that movie was about?


I remember going through a film class and I didn’t think about it at first, but soon little phrases like “The director’s vision” or “This invokes this emotion” or “What audiences got out of the film was a…” Or perhaps the worst "This director is such a genius…" Really cause I had no clue till you told me? All these lessons on how I was to learn how to interpret film. That’s when I started thinking do I need to be told what i interpreted?  

I’m reviewing films with that in mind, I’m not here to tell you what you should get out of a film, I’m just here to provide you with descriptions of the techniques used in movies. Film is a personal experience where no one can tell you how a movie is meant to effect you. No perfect formula that will guarantee an Academy Award winning movie. Most of the time it’s a combination of many elements

I like this film because of the script, this film because of editing, this one for the soundtrack. Who knows why you like a movie, no one but you.
