To come up with such good insights, one needs to study a movie really closely. According to AMC Filmsite, watching a film for more than just pure entertainment sake is usually enhanced by viewing it with an informed awareness of how it works. Only if you strive to be a 'critic' (in the best and most general sense of the word), will you improve your understanding of the craft.
When analyzing a movie, you should start by gathering information about it. When was it released? Who are the main stars? Who directed it? Which studio produced it? Preferably, you should ask yourself these and other similar questions before hitting the play button.
Groundhog Day but Scrooged would make sense, Bill Murray too

During the first viewing, you should become familiar with the basic plot, main characters, important action, and so on. In other words, you should acquire a brief synopsis of its story including the time and place, the characters and their interactions, and the movie's main themes without taking notes.
i don't think that is accurate. Is more like "She acept herself without img filters"
Agreed. I think it's really, both learn to grow and love themselves for who they are and don't give a f**k if others don't like it. That's me and my wife and why we both love this movie.
Load More Replies...I feel like this is wrong, he liked her more as an ogre the first time he saw her. SHE learnt to accept not being an Instagram model.
Marcellus the Third shut up this is an all-time classic and masterpiece please go spread your crappy words somewhere else
Load More Replies...The second time around, try paying more detailed attention to what you're seeing. Take notes and make observations, begin to think in a more concentrated way about the movie's structure, acting, directing, the camera shots and angles, and other technicalities. Prepare yourself to listen carefully to the production's soundtrack and how the music, songs, and score enhance the general mood.
Most importantly, strive to maintain objectivity to what is being presented. Don't prejudge it from the things you've heard about it, your preconceptions about who worked on it, and so on.
A few of these and you'll be writing 'terrible' movie taglines in no time!
Actually, Robert Pattinson reported hated the Twilight movies.
Load More Replies...Not to mention that the lead dude is meant to be like a 100 years old and is in love with a teenage kid. Creepy!!

Load More Replies...My summary : Nazi's attempt to get the Arc of the Covenant and open it.... they succeed. US agent fails to stop them.
If they'd just let them have the ark it would have had the same ending.
And his presence was irrelevant other than killing some Nazis'. They still did got the ark and opened it.
It was in the days when the president didn't consider using nuclear bombs on a hurricane.
yeah and the guy with the whip ends up DOMINATING the nazis. Indiana Jones is awesome.
reality is much grimmer: " If the female anemonefish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males becomes a female. The remaining males move up a rank in the hierarchy. " meaning Marlin is looking for the last male in his group, so that he can become female and mate with him.
Am I the only one who thinks the OP's use of the word "man" and "woman" instead of "fish" invalidates this description?

Aw - I love this movie. But, I can only watch it when my husband works nights.
Some old women with ptsd talking about the good D she had with a ghost
I think people forget that size doesn't equal weight. The weight of both of them would have caused the door to sink. Which in turn would have caused the two of them to freeze to death.
That depends on how evenly they distributed their weight. It's how you can lie on a bed of nails without getting skewered.

Load More Replies...ok this movie does tick me off because of that. in grease one and two someone has to change themselves to be accepted and loved. if the person was really worth it they would like you the way you are.
Well, in all honesty - isn't that what we've been told all our LIVES?
He already liked and accepted her on his own. It was only after he got back to school and his cool guy routine that she didn’t measure up anymore.
Grease 2: change everything about yourself to make a girl like and accept you.
haven't seen it, but thanks for sparing me!
Load More Replies...THERE WAS ENOUGH ROOM ON THAT DAM DOOR IF SHE HAD JUST SCOOTED HER ASK OVER!!!!
Actually, it's been proven that even though he would have fit, the weight of both of them wouldn't have held. They both would have frozen to death if he had gotten on.
Load More Replies..."So where was the child support, dude? When did you ever send my mother any?"

movie about not accepting strange pills from a strange black guy with a funky name, that you just met on the internet
It's been a while since I've seen the matrix. Would anything bad have happened if he took the blue pill and went back to his virtual life?
It depends on your definition of "bad". His virtual life wasn't real, so if you are looking for the truth, returning there is bad. On the other hand, the virtual world was far more comfortable than the real one so it would be easier to return there, provided you could forget the fact that it's not real.

Donald Trump is a moron and he congratulated a sports team by saying they were a credit to Kansas -- but the team is not based in the state of Kansas, it's based in Missouri (a different state.) (And The Wizard of Oz is set in the state of Kansas.)
Load More Replies...It's a joke because the Kansas City Chiefs are from the part of Kansas City that's in Missouri, but apparently Trump doesn't know this.
