Famous Shots From Films

 

The Town, 2010, and Ben Affleck

    The film with one of the most famous shots that I think of right away is from The Town. A bank heist movie that turns into a romantic comedy with one of the robbers and a clerk from a bank that was robbed. The movie featured Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, and Rebecca Hall, all coming together to put together a classic. The scene I think of right away is from one of the 3 bank heist movies. Instead of a bank, they rob an armored truck full of money. As they are on the way to go rob the truck, they put a nun mask on as their disguise. As they are on the way there with their nun mask and holding their AK-47 to rob a truck, they see a little kid on the side of the road. The camera angle is absolutely perfect for this scene as Affleck and the kid makes eye contact at the same time. The camera angle is from our of the car following Affleck as he is in his nun mask and holding his AK straight up. And then the camera shifts to the kid as he is on the sidewalk watching someone go by knowing he is about to do something illegal with a huge gun. This scene always stood out to me because the way the camera moves throughout the scene and the important of the scene. The state of Massachusetts has seen around 200 to 300 incidents of bank crime each year, and the kid seeing the crime about to happen is crazy to think about. Maybe he will be scared forever from it, maybe he will grow up to be a bank robber, or maybe he will grow up to be something nowhere near anything with crime. This scene could be something that happens in Boston more than we think.

    I can only imagine how confused the kid must be seeing a nun rob a truck. Probably why they went with that disguise.

Likelihood Of Hanging Out With Cars Characters

  Here are the main characters in Cars, and on a scale from 1 to 10 in likelihood of me hanging out with them. I have reasons for each and everyone of them but there’s some characters I have higher some characters I’ve lower. Let’s get into it. Lightning McQueen - 8.7/10 McQueen is one of your buddies that was really successful out of high school and was famous from a young age. He is a good guy to be around and is always trying to find ways to be atop of his sport. Good hang but gives off frat boy vibes at time.  Mater  - 9.5/10 Everyone needs themselves a Mater in their lives. Mater gives off really good energy and cares about the people in his friend group and family. The only negative thing about Mater is he could get you into some things that could backfire.  Sally - 9.1/10 Sally is really high on my list because she is relatable. She is the ex you dated in high school that your Mom really liked and always asks you about. Sally cares about the town and the peopl...

Likelihood Of Hanging Out With Get Out Characters

Here are the main characters in Get Out, and on a scale from 1 to 10 in likelihood of me hanging out with them. I have reasons for each and everyone of them but there’s some characters I have higher some characters I’ve lower. Let’s get into it. Chris - 8.2/10 Chris will definitely be one of the boys. Definitely a chiller dude but always wants to have a good time. He would fit well into the friend group. And obviously not being afraid of anything. Rose - 7.8/10 Rose reminds me of the crazy ex that your friend dated in high school once and it’s always hanging out around Thanksgiving or Christmas time. Rose is  definitely a fun hang but gives off high school bully vibes. Mom - 2.2/10 I feel like the mom would be a terrible hang and she would talk about her kids all the time. I feel like we just wouldn't be able to get along. And if she brings that teacup around me like she does most people then we would not be hanging for very long or very well to say the least. Dad - 5.1/10 I f...

Best Places To Watch A Movie

       Watching movies has been a popular activities along friend or families for decades in the United States and around the world. There are a lot of different places to watch movies and I will get into the variety of places. I will not rank them but I will talk about each of them individually.  In Bed - 7.3/10 This is a great option due to the fact that not a lot of people are going to be around you and probably the location you watch the most movies at. It is a comfy spot but it is a danger spot due to the fact if you get too comfortable, you will miss the movie due to falling asleep. It is a place you get to chill, probably at the end of the night and a place to watch a movie.  On The Couch - 8.7/10 I think this is the best option because any time you watch on the couch it is an experience whenever you sit down. It can also be with friends or family compared to a bed where people are not getting in your bed unless a select few. Family gathers or by you...
