I really did not enjoy making a decision on one particular movie. Just because there are many individual scenes from different movies that came to mind and I would think Damn that's the movie, then I'd change my mind again and again and again.
So I decided to write my 'review' on Training Day. I really enjoyed this movie because first and foremost I was in Kenya when I watched it. So the whole thing was more of an experience to me than just a movie. Many of the scenes shot would show the streets of Los Angeles, from the roads and back alleys to the cars and the people and how they were dressed. And it all felt very cohesive and put together. Nothing for me felt out of place. The acting was breathtaking. The plot was very gritty and beautifully thought out. As the characters pasts were being revealed it was shocking and surprising but it never felt like the character wasn't capable of doing that. And that reminded me of the reading. Writing 3dimensional characters, because they really fueled the conflicts and the situations. As the viewer I felt like I knew enough about the character to understand why they were making certain decisions and actions. I n general it was a very good movie, and for the sake of brevity I'll stop there, but it's a must watch and I think it really showed me how much of an amateur creator I was and now that I'm taking this class, how much of an amateur cameraman I am.
I really enjoyed that movie too! Denzel Washington is a great actor and I was pulled into the movie because he was so convincing (and of course the script and screen play was flawless); all of the actors were. As long as you stay determined and focused you can become an even better cameraman that the cameramen and editors of that movie.
