Spring Break Homework: Movie, Movie Notes, Movie Review

 

HOW TO WRITE A MOVIE REVIEW

1. Opening: Catch the Reader's Attention
Think about how advertisements sell movies: "trailers" show you a few seconds of the movie to get you interested. Don't explain why you liked it or didn't like it; make the reader like or not like the movie by what you describe. Begin your review by retelling an incident or moment from the movie which you think captures the spirit of the movie as you understood it.

¢

¢2. Second Paragraph: Take Care of Business
Near the beginning of the review, you have to tell the reader--the title of the movie, the director,  the main actors, the year it was made (if you watched it on video), the rating. Also, in one sentence or two, you should explain very simply what the movie is all about--not necessarily what happens, but that might work, too, if you can say it in one two sentences.

¢

¢3. Third Paragraph: Character and plot summary
What happens in the movie? You shouldn't tell everything that happens--and especially not the ending. But you want to summarize the basic plot of the movie, in more detail than you do in the paragraph above.

¢And…write a sentence about each main character, what they do in the plot.

¢

¢4. Fourth Paragraph: A Key Moment or Idea
Go into detail about something important that interested you about the movie. Or write more about one character who was really intriguing. Or retell another big moment from the movie and explain why it is important. If you think the "idea" or theme behind a movie was really interesting, explain that idea and talk about it a little bit. In this paragraph, you must go into depth about the movie.

¢

¢5. Fifth Paragraph: Evaluate the Movie
Do you recommend it or not? Who will like it (kids or adults)? The most important thing here is that you must also explain why you are making your recommendation.

¢You must justify your opinion--and that opinion should grow out of what you write in the rest of the review. Give at least two reasons why you liked or didn't like the movie.

¢How does the film dramatize the subject of migration?
Does the film portray migration in positive terms, as an opportunity for economic mobility or greater freedom, or in more negative terms?
What other themes in US History does the movie suggest or emphasize?  Give an example.
Does the film's portrayal of immigration seem accurate and realistic?
Is the immigrant depicted as odd and eccentric or as threatening?
