YOU CAN ANALYZE A FILM?!?

I have seen many movies, and some I liked and some i liked a little less. I even started writing my own stuff, so I decided to take a Film class.

There is so much more to film than what you see on the big screen. It is so nice that there are writers and crews who do all the breaking down of what makes a movie good for us. I mean....there's contemplating what camera to use, the angle, lighting, and an infinite amount more of thinking.

I myself prefer to see action pieces with good character development. If one is missing, then I feel like the film doesn't really have closure.

Citizen Kane was one film I was introduced to in this said class. Okay...it had a really interesting story, and the presentation was really inventive. Problem for me was that it lacked action. I mean...the most violent action we see in the movie is the main character smashing his wife's (or should i say ex-wife's) room to smithereens.

It was a good break from such works as HEROES, but with the premiere on 9/22/2008, I think I'm going back to HEROES.

I agree with all of the following that was said. The interest part of was also the same. Citizen Kane was good in the plot area but it lacked a lot of action or at least a normal amount of action for that kind of movie. You could expand a little more on why you think it needs more action or why you think it didn't have that much action

I agree with the whole premise of how complex the movie production truly is was mind blowing alot of facts. But for the kane subject, somettimes movies aren't supposd to go to action to create interest. Watch the plot and overall feel and you should get enough entertainment. If not, try Boondock Saints, it's f***ing amazing, action and character development all around.
