Everything Everywhere All at Once

     

    This movie is definitely odd and confusing. Absurdism is very prominent in this film, relating to the characters and the world itself. Evelyn is the main character of this movie, and we see her character change as she sees herself in different universes. We see her confused as she's being shown the different versions of herself and how she acts when she returns to her normal self that she knows. Later in the movie she tries to explain what is happening and why everyone is acting weird. Her daughter and husband think she’s crazy and ridiculous for thinking anything like that was possible. This movie is bizarre and strange, and it shows it. This movie does a very good job at showing absurdism with the main character. Her actions and behaviors change based off the other versions of herself from different universes. It’s strangeness really makes this movie interesting, like all the things that happen when Joy fights other people and makes things that shouldn’t happen, happen. For example, near the beginning in Everything Part 1, when Evelyn sees Joy, but she is not herself, makes the guards do things they had no control over because she is alternating reality. Like how she changes the scene into a dance and a wrestling match. This seems to be an ongoing trend in the movie as Evelyn starts to do the same thing. Overall, this movie does a great job at showing absurdism in many different forms. I definitely enjoyed watching this movie and witnessing the strange events unfold in front of me.

Disney's 1997 Hercules - Movie Trailer Analysis

        Today we will be reviewing the movie trailer for Hercules, Disney’s 1997 animated film.

That voice that isn’t a part of the movie itself but describes the actions and plots of the story to really draw the audience into watching the movie. Since it is a family movie, the trailer uses visuals and voices to grab children's attention . This is because Disney knows that kids won’t read much of anything when it comes to watching something interesting. The narrator lines up sentences with scenes from the movie that make the trailer funny and interesting to watch. A n example of this would be that the narrator says, “Disney pictures presents ...” then it cuts to a scene from the movie when the muses , which are the women on the pots in the movie, are singing, they say and s pell out “Hercules” stating that Disney is presenting you the movie Hercules.

Early on in the movie, when we are witnessing the early life of Chiron , it takes us to a moment where Juan is at the beach with him. Before this scene, Chiron had always seemed to be a quiet kid and never really felt like he belonged. In this scene where Juan tells him to join him in the ocean, we can tell that Chiron is unsure of this suggestion. We can see that he is struggling to decide whether to go or not based on the camera angle and his facial expressions. Eventually, Chiron decides to join Juan and he teaches him how to float in the water on his back. Chiron seemed to not trus t Juan in this moment, but Juan reassures him plenty of times that he wasn’t going to let him go. Eventually Chiron learns how to swim and, in the background, we can hear Juan's words of encouragement and excitement for Ch iron. This scene portrays a lot of feelings in it. We can see that Chiron feels free and that he is learning how to trust. Us as viewers can feel the emotions that Chiron i
