     Rear Window , which is a film created in 1954 and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, takes a different approach to the other movies we have since watched. This movie differs from others because it has basically only two settings the entire time. The plot involves a man, L.B Jefferies, who broke his leg in a photography accident, so he is stuck in a wheelchair in his apartment for several weeks until he heals. During the time he is in confinement, one of his only sources of entertainment is watching his neighbors out his back window. His apartment backs an ally so he is able to see right into his neighbors windows throughout the day. Since Jefferies has a long recovery process, he is able to collect a lot of information on all the people who live around him and learn their schedules. After a while, he notices some strange tendencies from one of his neighbors named Lars Thorwald. He is seen going out late at night, hiding his wife's things and just not being his normal self...

      Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele in 2017, is a horror comedy film. The plot of the movie is a very interesting one. An interracial couple that go by the names Chris and Rose are going to meet Rose's parents for the first time. Chris is skeptical at first if Rose's parents are going to be okay with him being black or not but Rose is very reassuring that they will be. Everything seems normal when they arrive, but it soon turns very strange. Chris keeps getting little backhanded things said to him that are pretty racist, and there are also two black people that work at the house with the family.

Chris gets very weird vibes from Logan and eventually the man lashes out at him when he tries to take a picture of him. After this incident, Rose and Chris go on a walk and it is at this moment we see ...

          This post is about the 2006 movie Marie Antoinette, which was both written and directed by Sofia Coppola. For a brief overview, this movie follows a young woman by the name of Marie Antoinette that is being thrown into the life of royalty in France. It is clear right from the very beginning that Marie does not really fit in with all of the other people already in France and it is a little awkward. She is not used to all the riches and constant eyes of everyone around on her all the time. There are people there when she goes to sleep, wakes up, eats, etc. However, after some time, she starts to have some fun with the money that she now has. She starts to buy many things and gamble and the money that France has is slowly but surely depleting. Unfortunately, that was not her only issue. Her relationship with her husband is a strange one at best. The entire country is counting on them to produce an heir, but the awkwardness and unwillingness coming fr...
