This week in class we watched a movie. The movies are always a good way to put an image in your head about what the scenery in the book looks like but this movie was a lot different. I think that most, if not everyone in the class probably thinks that they could have shot that movie just as well. The movie had zero special effects, but even when they tried to have special effects it caused the whole class to laugh. I guess we can give them an A for effort.
I'm really no movie expert but watching this movie I laughed more at the acting, effects , and scenery more than I did at the movie itself. When they attempted to show the letter A shooting across the sky, it looked like and aroura, or even the northern lights. The whole class, including Mr. Bresnick, laughed. From the beginning i expected just another corny movie they allow us to watch in school, this movie definitely reached a new level of corny.
School movies are usually pretty tough to watch. Most of the time kids in the class will fall asleep. I have to admit that I have been that person before. The Scarlet Letter kept me awake because It was funny to watch. It was said in class that it almost felt like we were watching a soap opera. That was the perfect way to describe this movie.
I agree with this. The movie was not good however it pretty much followed the exact plot of the book. Things that happen in most other movies that are based off of books are very different from what happens in the books. I can at least give them credit for trying to stay true to what Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote. That is the only thing that deserves credit, otherwise it was a horrible movie.
ReplyDeleteI agree. the movie was comepletely awful. It looked like something me and you could have shot with a camcorder in my back yard. Do you think people liked the movie when it came out? I know its pretty old but I can't imagine all movies being that bad.
