Mad Max



What happens in the film? Explain briefly. No spoilers!
This is a difficult plot to explain. because truthfully its just one giant road chase of crazy people in a post apocalyptic world. There are three main crazy leaders. one controlling water. one controlling bullets and one controlling gas. These are the things people fight and live for.

What genre do you believe this film fits into? If nothing specific, choose a range.
Action

What, for you, were notable scenes from the film? Or costumes? Supporting characters?
The opening scene where Tom Hardy (max) bites the head off the lizard it just starts the film off with a real shits about to go down feel.

What one character really stood out for you?
Nicholas Hoult 'nux'

Did their role further the plot/story? How? If not, why did they still stand out to you?
Yes. the way he develops as a character gives hope that there is still humanity left in even the craziest following of the leaders. it gives another layer to the film.

Was there anything notable about the hair and makeup? Costume and styling?
Yes the styling was very cult like and the styling separated the higher Archie from the poverty. it was very much either rugged ripped rags for clothing and muddy dishevelled creatures or all painted white to attempt to be like their leader.


Would you watch it again?
I would but I'm not in a hurry. I do think if you watched it again they're could be a lot more too it that when i first watched it.

Forrest Gump



What happens in the film? Explain briefly. No spoilers!
Im not too sure you can briefly sum up Forest Gump. There is a lot of things that happen. It's a journey of a boy to a man and his relationship with the love of his life Jenny. Whilst in pursuit of Jenny, Forest Gump becomes a spectacular man with great accomplishments and humble all the still.

What genre do you believe this film fits into? If nothing specific, choose a range.
Family classic coming under action, romance and comedy. It truly covers everything.

What, for you, were notable scenes from the film? Or costumes? Supporting characters?
When you finally see Forest on the shrimp boat at the end you almost get a sense of fulfilment yourself just because he is so satisfied with life, and finally happy.

What one character really stood out for you?
Jenny.

Did their role further the plot/story? How? If not, why did they still stand out to you?
Definitely although Forest was going through his own changes they were all due to the fact that jenny was also growing up. if anything you could say her journey is more significant than his. because without her growing and travelling Forest wouldn't be able to follow.

Was there anything notable about the hair and makeup? Costume and styling?
I would say diversity in styling is really amazing. they go through so many years. Jenny alone is a stripper, a hippy, a corporate lady. Thats a lot of different looks. yet through all her transformations Forest doesn't change all that much other than having facial hair or not. I think this is purposely to maybe represent the fact that he as a character has a personality so strong it can not be changed by years nor events that he has been in.

Would you watch it again?
Yes. but i do have to be in the right mood to do it.

Breakfast at Tiffany's



What happens in the film? Explain briefly. No spoilers!
Audrey Hepburn lives in the city moving male from male and social groups thriving off the luxuries of life to return to her flat in the morning with her cat and many tiffany items. no spoilers... but a man comes into her life that may change her way of living NO SPOILERS.

What genre do you believe this film fits into? If nothing specific, choose a range.
I would categorise it as a romance comedy.

Is there a motif used?
I would say that the cat is a motif as it follows the story line and is consistent the whole way through and yet right at the end when things actually change it happens to be when she is searching for 'cat'.

What, for you, were notable scenes from the film? Or costumes? Supporting characters?
You simply can't get any more iconic than Audrey Hepburn with her accessories. those big old bug glasses and the long cigarette were practically made by her. oh and the little black dress too.

What one character really stood out for you?
Well its going to sound like a bit of an obsession now but obviously Audrey.

Did their role further the plot/story? How? If not, why did they still stand out to you?
Considering the entire film is based on her I would say her role does stand out yes. and there wouldn't really be much of a plot or story with out her.

Was there anything notable about the hair and makeup? Costume and styling?
A lot of trends were created from this film. The name is some what prominent in this "breakfast at tiffanies". throughout the entire film there are large gems and diamond accessories on everyone who was 'anyone'. and as previously mentioned the long cigarette and black dress stand out as the beginning of that very vogue styling.


Would you watch it again?
I would I have and I will.
