Man On Wire:
With this documentary I'm not sure of my response, so it might be shorter than asked for. I did like it, it had some really cool parts. I like how he had that dream of walking the twin towers before they were even built. I also thought it was funny how they snuck into the building. How do you get so good at playing hide and seek? Ive never seen a tight rope walker so to see him do it was really interesting. His face was focused his body was balanced and his feet just glided over the rope. To me that's an art. For a second I wanted t try and be a tight rope walker, but then I remembered I'm a cults and afraid of heights. In the documentary he shows us how much he practices and how they plot to get in and hook it all up. the fact that he kept his dream so close to his heart and never gave up was really inspiring, as cheesy as it sounds. that makes him a hero. Even though it wasn't the common meaning of a hero, he still stuck to his dream and only made it real by keeping it alive like he dreamt it just that day. The reason why I'm unsure about this is that I cant focus on documentary because theres nothing that makes me want to pay attention I think I'm so use to movies with the music to tell me something important is going to happen
Nightmare Before Christmas
3.) Signature of Tim Burton.
The movie is defiantly a Burton feel threw out it. The people them selves could be gruesome and disgusting if it wasn't for his cartoony faces.Instead of gore like you would picture it after life, he has singing worms and dancing skeletons. That makes it feel happier rather than scary. With the character Sally shes constantly is loosing her self like her limbs or eye balls. He could have embraced the bloody feel but he is known to put a spin on that. He had Sally just laugh it off and fix herself right up. Another example is when the creatures are making toys for Christmas and they would put what we would consider to be scary things in these boxes but Burton chose to make it silly by having the gifts resemble Christmas toys. In my opinion one of the things that apple to me is how happy they look. When I think of the dead and Halloween it makes me think of sad, slow, dark, and gloomy. In the style he gives his movies its happy and cheerful, everyone is excited to be dead. So it give off a good "feel good" vibe when I watch it. I think hes very good at giving a different look at things.

Real Film
What Is A Real Film?
My idea of a real film would make me really think on the lesson or moral. If I watch something and I'm thinking about it after it end because I'm thinking how it applies in my life to me that's a film. Now a good film in my opinion would have to make me think and cry because it just got real. The best films in my opinion are usually the ones that make me cry, either because it had a dramatic ending or there was a struggle and they overcame it by chance or, a "merical" if you will. Some examples of good films that I would say would be the Pursuit of Happyness, Hotel Rwanda, and the Shaw shank Redemption. those are the only ones that come to mind, but there are at least a hundred more. So to some it up in a few sentances thats what a good film is
The Pursuit of Happyness

5.) Gender Roles
The roles for men in this movie, is to be the worker, provider, the head of the house. The women are stay at home moms, that bake all day and do daily house choirs. The stereotype is that the don't do anything but sit around all day and gossip, which is showed in the movie. Peg is different because she works for an Avon company. Even though it may not be as hard as the men's job she still leaves the home enviroment to make money, and in that town that wold be very..out of the ordinary. The movies is set in the 50's era,so I think it is appropriate for the roles to be the way they are. I will throw in that Tim Burton probably also picked the 50's era because its one of many of his trade markes in his movies. The girls or women in his movies seem to be under minded by a power of some sort, but they always seem to be the voice of reason like sally in the nightmare before Christmas, or they bring the aw-ha, realization moment to people like peg did. She gave people in that town the question to think about am I normal or is it ok to be different.
