Assignment 1

What have you ever read that you think would translate into a good film?

We all hear stories, we all read stories but in terms of what should be made into a feature film now a days seems like anything goes. In a world were entertainment comes before quality work, what should be next?, I honestly cannot think of one book that I have read recently or one story that does not sound like all the rest that should be made into a movie. What makes a good film?, a story of inspiration, one of humor, one with heads being blown up while a car blows up in the back ground every couple of minutes, or a cheesy movie filled with moral values that we all wish that we could follow. Either or I don’t have a story that I can say I want to be made into a movie, but I do know what I like. Something of interest to me would be to see a very eccentric movie, one that taps into the mind and just makes you think. I would love to see a movie that’s shows how a relationship really is not fairytale endings, one that can really show just how mad a person can drive themselves.


What is your favorite movie?

This to me is one of the hardest questions that anyone can ask me. I love films I cant get enough of them .I have watched everything from action, indie, drama, cheesy love stories, foreign, cheesy feel good films about rag to riches stories, to a movie about a dog that can play basketball. But if I had to choose one movie that I would call my favorite at the moment I would have to say Babel, I love the Mexican born director Alejandro González Iñárritu famous for movies like 21 grams, and amores perros. I love the guy’s style in his movies, and in Babel he continues his motif of providing the viewers with multiple perspectives in one story, which in my opinion further enriches the story. In Babel it starts off as a story on a couple on the rocks, they take a vacation to Morocco of all places where tragedy strikes and what really sets forth the story for the other characters. Many of the shots in the film to me were amazing, from the caretaker of two children running in the hot Mexican desert, to the shots of the two kids on the morocco hills. In my opinion this movie was brilliant, not only did it have a steady pace I storytelling, but combined the characters with the title of the movie, that is why at the moment Babel if my favorite movie (at least for now).
