The Sound of Her Voice review 15

This film follows a couple who take a big risk by joining a cult that surrounds a woman who claims that they can travel through time. They attempt to expose her cult, believing that she plans to do harm to the members that follow her. The most interesting shots in the film are the ones where the characters are having flash backs to moments of struggle in their past, the clips were busy and flashy while moving to one shot to another at a fast phase. The film explained very little about the plans of the cult or whether or not it was real and in the end left it at a cliff hanger. I think they focused less on the details of the cult and more on the people involved because they wanted to get more in depth with the psychology and interactions between members.

Human Rights sentence ideas

• It was difficult at first to express the main points of the quotes through our art work but in the end we were able to accomplish the posters while also learning many of our rights that most are not familiar with. 

• This project was a creative way of showing our human rights and makes it more visually interesting as well as informative for the viewers.

Review 14

"We Need To Talk About Kevin" was a psychological thriller starring Ezra Miller as the sociopathic son and Tilda Swinton playing the passive and distressed mother. This film is follows the struggle of a mother raising a troubled boy with extremely manipulative starting even when he was a toddler. The mother tries to have compassion for the boy but his cold ways are to much for her, and she ends up being the victim of her son for years intill he is locked up after he commits a unthinkable act.  There are a lot of interesting shots including the first scene showing her during a tomato sauce food fight  and theres a birds eye view of her looking up smiling while she's being lifted up by the people around her.

The plot was based around a couple who payed a doctor to erase there memories so they would forget one another. When the boyfriend is put under he realizes that he doesn't want to forget her and throughout his dreams he struggles to hold on to her.  But in the end its to late and he ends up forgetting her existence. This film had a lot of symbolism through out for example the procedure that they were offering showed how people want to forget un pleasent memories or the people that they have losed and now miss. But in the end its more important to cherish the good memories of that person even if its difficult, which is what the character realized.Another example of symbolism was when the main character (Jim Carrey) was hiding under the table. I think this showed how he feels emotionally immature in a lot of ways which probably related to why he felt the relationship didnt work out.

Safety Not Guaranteed

This film follows a a group of interns and a writer who is following an ad that promises a time travel expiernce but doesn't promise that they will come back safely.  Once they meet the man who's responsible for the ad you start out thinking hes delusional but as the film goes on you start to realize that he may be telling the truth. I think the time machine was symbolizing the feeling that most people get to go back and fix there mistakes or to appreciate something that they took for granit.  I thought it was interesting how this film started out being realistic but then slowly became more outrageous as it went on.
