As well as English, I am taking an
intro to the art of film class. The final paper in this class is a critique on
a movie of our choice. I made sure to
choose a movie that I liked enough to have a lot to say about it. (it is
Universal Sudio’s “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”) This, as well as the fact that
I am very interested in the subject, helps me translate my passion into my writing.
Since this is a form of art, it can be received in many different ways by
different people. In my assignment, I am
able to express my position on whether the movie fits a certain type of film (like
realism or formalism.) I can decide for
myself what a symbol in the movie is and what it means. I can remark on the use of color and angles. My
position is that I think that this is a very well done movie with lots of
symbolism and hidden ideologies. Even though this is art, I can’t just state my
opinion without a reason. I still have
to support my view with terminology and facts. With this critique I am clear that I am
motivated into writing this by the “voice” I use in the in the critique. I am
still in the drafting phase so some improvements can still be made, but for the
most part I am evident on my position.
