Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette

 


Marie Antoinette was a great film that we watched in class and I had fun watching it. Marie Antoinette is an Austrian women who turns into a French queen. The dresses were the thing that stood out to me the most because the colors were so vivid that it stood out to me. All the women had stunning dresses throughout the whole movie and whenever there was a big event, everyone had a vibrant color on. One of the most interesting things to me was the dynamic of the 2 men in her life, King Louis XV of France and Axel Fersen. Marie comes over to marry King Louis XV but the marriage is not what she thought it was going to be. King Louis does not show her love and they never do anything in the bed room. Marie's brother, Joseph II, came to visit and told King Louis that he has to do stuff in the bedroom. Marie and King Louis make love and have a baby together. But after that is when Axel Fersen comes into the picture. Marie and Axel meet at a party but nothing comes up until they see each other years later where they hit it off. The 2 start to have an affair where they make love multiple times. The aspect of multiple men was very interesting to me and showed the culture back then where you marry someone due to what your family wants and not you. Marie did not want to marry this man due to the fact, she did not even know who he was. That was the culture back then and this film did a good job of showing that. When she meets Axel, it is all game for her and she can not wait to get her hands on him. This 2 men dynamic for Marie was very interesting to me and it was a key theme throughout the whole movie.

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 feel l

Life Is A Highway Importance

     Cars and the song Life Is a Highway share a deeply intertwined connection, contributing significantly to the film's overall atmosphere and impact. The song, originally written by Tom Cochrane, gained widespread popularity when it was on the Cars soundtrack. The central theme of Cars revolves around the journey of Lightning McQueen, who finds himself stranded in the small town of Radiator Springs. The lyrics of Life Is a Highway align seamlessly with this theme, emphasizing the idea of life being a journey filled with twists, turns, and opportunities for exploration. Life Is a Highway became the musical identity of Cars, with its association deeply embedded in the audience's memory. Whenever I heard the song if it comes on through my phone or outside source, I think of Cars and Lightning McQueen. The song is prominently featured in key moments of the film, such as Lightning McQueen's cross-country drive and racing scenes. Its recurrence creates a musical motif that stre

Reflection On Group Movie

           I had a lot of fun making this group project with Josh, Max, and Jake to make a film about Fortnite.  Fortnite is a cultural phenomenon in the gaming world that serves as the focal point of our film.  Its impact extends far beyond the gaming community, going into the mainstream media, fashion, and even influencing popular dance trends. The collaboration with musicians, artists, and film franchises showcased Fortnite's versatility as not just a gaming platform but a dynamic cultural space. We wanted to tied this into the film and feel like we did a good of of it.  Josh came to us about this idea due to his love for the game and his high stats for the game. We all were on board from the start as it was originally the idea to do a document on the game. We did research that went into understanding the various facets of Fortnite. Before we shifted our idea to Josh being the main character of out film and having everything revolve around him. We dived into its inception, evolu
