Film Review

The Cradle Will Rock

 This movie was not much of an exciting thing for me.  The actors were good, the goal was established, but the lines were confusing, it skipped around a lot from place to place and I got lost very easily throughout the film.  I know this paper is supposed to be making someone want to watch this movie but I don’t think I can do that.  It is hard to convince someone to watch something that really had no effect on you.  Throughout this paper instead of convincing someone to watch the film I would like to do something else.  I would like to tell you why this film was not so inspiring for me.
 A couple of reasons why I disliked this film was because first it was boring, there was nothing to get my attention once in a while.  Second I feel that the producer didn’t do a very good job with the cameras and the way that he played out the film, from scene to scene.  And third I didn’t like the scope of the film.  I didn’t like it’s destination, the place where it was supposed to end up.  The reason I feel this way is because the actors were boring.  It seemed to me like all of them were probably trying to hard to act good.  It wasn’t in a natural setting it seemed to me.
 The way that the producer made his effects and changes from scene to scene I didn’t really like.  It seemed to make no sense to me of how he was going back and forth from scene to scene in no particular order.  It also frustrated me that I got lost in the film and I lost track of who was who.  But of course that cleared up by the end.

 Maybe it was my imagination or something like that but it didn’t seem to me like this movie was very good.  I would not recommend it because I simply didn’t like it.  Maybe it’s just me but that is the way I feel about this film.  Another reason maybe I didn’t really like it was because it had to do with theater and I wasn’t much of a theater lover from the beginning.  So I might not know the passion that these people have for acting but of course not everyone is the same.  So that might be why I disliked the film.  So if you like theater and acting then I would probably recommend this film, but other wise I would not recommend it.
