Strategies,concepts, and notes.

I've watched the films on the newest post. Wong Kar Wais strikes a certain mood that is about hopeless love.2046  was full of good perspectives and was kind of a collage of the future and past.  I liked the man's make believe future train and attractive drones. The subject of a man loving a machine woman is intriguing because of the lack of emotion and personality.
      I love Stanley Kubrick films in general but these short summaries help me understand more of the background and composition of his films. Clockwork orange and full metal jacket are two completely different genres,subjects and story. It's good to see a director take a different approach to each of his films. The shining is a horror film with many great shots and I believe it is Jack Nicholson in his prime. Another element I like about all Stanley Kubrick films is how unpredictable everything is. When watching one of his films, the audience will never guess what will happen next. I found the Barry Lyndon film to be very boring. The only parts I saw that I liked were the composition of people. It seemed like an a bunch of old moving paintings. The dinner scene on american beauty was played out really well. I like the sarcastic emotion,conversation, and care by the actors. Everyone can picture a model family eating dinner,it's like that, but far more dramatic. When Kevin Spacey quits his job and argues with his wife, it's very humorous.The angry walk to get the asparagus is drawn out and exaggerated. The closing scene strikes a serious note to the family as Kevin takes charge.I love it!

I watched Deer Hunter:

Me and megan decided to group together so we can make a better picture. We have combined some strategies. This is my version of the story board:
