Minority report is an interesting movie about the future in 2054. It shows the future of our crime and justice system, through the use of Pre-Cogs or “prophets” to see future crimes and stop them before they have happened. Steven Spielberg does an excellent job creating the future of 2054, through great special effects and well thought out action sequences. I found some of the editing and filming techniques Spielberg uses fascinating, such the match cut and using objects to…
Gone With the Wind was a very interesting movie, especially because of the character Scarlett's actions. I liked the filming style of the movie and their portrayal of the Civil War on the south. John C. Flinn Sr. from Variety said this about the film, "Comes to the screen as one of the truly great films, destined for record-breaking box office business everywhere". I agree with his statement about the film, especially because unlike in most films, Scarlett doesn't have that evolution that most characters have from start to end of the movie, and I think that is what makes this movie different.
I really enjoyed watching The Wizard of Oz. It was a great choice on Victor Fleming's part to change from black and white to color film when Dorthy arrived in Oz. This decision really made the film stand out and it emphasized the differences between Kansas and Oz. I also like the special effects, they seemed ahead of their time and overall looked really good, especially since this movie was made in 1939.

Woyzeck is a very interesting film, I feel that it basically is a good movie, but it misses the mark in a few places. I didn't really agree with some of the editor's choices towards the end of the film, especially when Woyzeck kills his wife, it plays music from a concert band and ruins the mood of the film. Which also then downplays the severity of his actions. Overall, Woyzeck is a good film, but there are a few choices made in the creation and editing of the movie that I don't agree with.
