in terms of "what it is that makes a movie compelling, noteworthy, or deserving of an award" in my eyes i always believed great movies are the movies that make you think and feel in various ways in a engulfing atmosphere that leaves you feeling moved and mesmerized long after the credits have finished.



"The pianist"; The movie was based off A Polish Jewish musician struggles to survive the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto of World War II. when i was in 9th grade, my teachers gave me several movies to watch and write about for extra credit. When i watched this movies it blew my mind. i was always fascinated with world war II and watching this movie exceeded it. I felt everything in this film. i watched it about 3 times that same night. Each time i felt the sorrow, the impact. i thought it captured the violence and brutality of the nazis in the early 40's. as did "schindler's list".




Recently ive been watching foreign films. Out of all i watched this movie seemed to catch my attention. it was based on a book. i thought Let the Right One In is a slow burning film. You had to pay attention of whats going on as most foreign films. The difference between this then most was the romance that you wouldnt have thought would happen. Let the right one in ways is like of twilight but better in my eyes.
