School Ties (1992)
Really got to me.
In the drama, School Ties a young Jewish man is faced with concealing his religious identity in order to "fit in" at the extremely expensive private school that he has been awarded a football scholarship to. I enjoyed the first half of the movie, it was filled with laughs and good fun with all the boys at the school. Things were looking up for the young man but it all went south as soon as his classmates discovered who he really was. The fact that somebody could befriend someone and then totally betray them just because of their religion disgusts me, there were some scenes in the film that really got to me and made me quite upset. Although it does show people how real anti Semitism is in our world. In the society we live in people are raised to be an anti Semitist even if they are not meant to be. All in all I would have to say the film was alright but I think they could of used more explanation as to what happens at the end.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Carpe Diem: Seize The Day!
Not only will this movie touch your heart and possibly bring tears to your eyes, it will inspire you to be a better mentor to others and to follow your dreams no matter what the boundaries or consequences may be. It is truly poetry on the screen.. a great story and a touching social commentary on humanity and life's greatest challenges. The thought of non conformity scares a lot of people in this world but when you choose to take a step out of the box your life will forever be changed. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you do. The film does portray a great deal of tragic irony but I wont be a spoiler. This movie has defiantly taken my love of poetry to an entirely new level!
Into the Wild (2007)
It was a great film that lacked a bit of detail
In my personal opinion I thought that this film showed a great deal of raw passion by showing people what the negative and positive outcomes could be of following your dream and not submitting to the conformity of the world around you. The way the director used different styles of camera angles and techniques really made the movie what it became. The soundtrack was exquisite. I don't think the director could of chosen a better cast roll for the film, I genuinely felt that every actor/actress was perfect for their role. I do however feel they could of gone into greater detail about how his childhood affected some of the decisions he made in his life because you could defiantly tell that some of what brought him to go to the bush was the way he was raised and the environment he was brought up in.
