Unit 1 Part C: review arts events
The Arts Event I reviewed was the showing of the movie, "The Big Lebowski" at the Media Film Club in Middlesbrough College on
Tuesday 11th February.
Storyline:
When
"The Dude" Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs
ruin his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While
attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart,
he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling
buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads
to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to
nihilists want something from The Dude.
The genre for the film I would say is comedy with some parody into it at the same time. The Age rating for the film is 18 because it included nudity scenes and a lot of drugs scenes in it and also because it was not putting people off drugs it showed people liking the drugs it made the age rating higher.
I found the storyline hard to follow, sometimes it went suddenly to a different scene and i did not have a clue what is going on.
Here are the names of the main characters and cast from www.imdb.com:
When I first went into the theatre area to watch it i really didn't have big expectations because of the short reviews and trailers that i watched of it earlier that day. The first 30 minutes of it or so i could keep interest but after a while i started to not be as interested as I was so overall I was bored in a short amount of time. If I had a choice to watch it again i probably would not watch it because I did not find it a good film overall, if i was going to choose a film I probably would of chose a comedy that is at least in the 21st century and the story line would actually make sense. I did not think it was a good film for film club because I was looking at everyone else and not that many people were actually watching it, they were like me. if i was going to give it a rating out of 1 to ten I would probably give it a 5, thats just my personal opinion on the film.
Personally I think the story did not go that well, it was good but I exeected it to be a little bit better bunot amazing, I thought some of the characters did not suit there role in this such as both of labowskis friends, I think they could of replaced them with someone better.

dFor the first 30 minutes or so I kept interest in the film and what was going on and after that I took interest but I did not feel like watching the rest of it, So I put my head down a bit and just listened because what was going on, on the screen I did not find that interesting, so therefore I felt that I did not want to watch it.
IIf I was going to give a best part of the film I would of probably said the start of the film were the two guys broke into his house mistaking him for someone else and then weeing on his carpet.
If I am going to be honest I dont think this was a good choice for film club because it was not just me who did not find this interesting, my friends also thought the same, they did not find it enjoyable at all. So no, I do not think this was a good choice for Film Club.
a I think the acting wasn't amazing but it was good, for example like I said earlier I dont think the friends of Labowski suited their role in the film, I thought some parts were a bit over dramatic, what I am trying to say is that they could of made some parts a lot easier and making it more dramatic than it had to be did not help them in my opinion.
I did not really take notice of the lighting but I think that is because the lighting was fine, they didn't make it too bright or too dark because I think I would of noticed it.
there was a lot of kinda musical parts in the movie, I thought they were good but went on for way too long, like the one near the end kind of I think went on for too long. Here is a link to it if you wish to take a look at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FscKSB7Hh_w
I thought that the script was okay, this is kind of related to the acting because of the actors doing the scripts, i thought it could of had improvements maybe but it was not that bad in my opinion.
The camera work for the movie was good, they didnt use bad angles so you cant see whats fully going on and so on, you could tell that they were professionals
Here are two videos of us watching and listening to clive before watching the film. This p
is evidence of my attending the event.
