Beauty and the Beast (1991)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019âs book â1001 Movies to See Before You Dieâ and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I wonât be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself youâll have to buy it. But I will be covering the bookâs suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldnât doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. Weâre going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but weâre also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like âJokerâ will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then donât hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Letâs get on with it then.

Queen Jane...Almost
Is "Queen Jane Approximately" the most ignored song on "Highway 61 Revisited" and why? Thereâs a number of questions which are pointed out about the song âQueen Jane Approximatelyâ and most of them pertain to the fact that Bob Dylan called Queen Jane referring to âa manâ in the year the album was released. Iâm not going to lie, I really do not care who Queen Jane is and I want to actually look at why this song is constantly ignored over the other songs on the same album.

3 Great Movies Adapted From Books
When it comes to films adapted from books, I love to investigate the way in which they have been adapted: what has been changed, if anything and who has been cast of which characters from the book. But the most important things about the adaptation is whether it gives off the same atmosphere and air as the book, whether it is scripted in the way the book would also be written even though using different speech and lines would be understandable.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: Horatian Satire
In this chapter of âthe filmmakerâs guideâ weâre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the âfilmmakerâs guideâ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youâre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerâs guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Easy Spiced Almond Cookies
Of course, you probably know me very well for invading Vocal with my film studies stuff and articles entitled âa filmmakerâs guideâ. I have often explained that I love to bake as well. Since I was young, I have loved the idea, the creativity and the relaxation of baking different things. I love to make macarons, layer cakes and gingerbread in particular and the activity of it really gets me away from my laptop (where Iâm sure you know that I spend most of my life). So, I hope you enjoy me talking about what I bake and why I bake it complete with pictures (if not very good) of me actually baking, my baked goods in the process of being created and when theyâre finished. Iâm really happy to share this with you. And if you like, you can show me your baking (yes, I spend a lot of time writing, but I also spend a lot of time reading other peopleâs articles!), I would love to see it. Since I was in school, I was always interested in creating things, whether that be pieces of writing, welding things to make small statues or baking foods and making sweets (candy, if youâre American). I hope you enjoy looking at some of the stuff that has honestly kept me sane, because I seem to be going slightly mad.

3 Film Critics You Should Read
Studying film can look scary and strange. Why? Well because there are so many people seemingly gate-keeping this study at an academic level. Even as a woman on the subject during my M.A, there were certain groups of men who were gatekeeping their study but then there were other men who were very accepting of females in film studies. But, when it comes down to it, whether man or woman, nobody should be gate-keeping a study of academia and this is why I am here. I am not here to gate-keep anything and I am not here to tell you that you cannot do it. Actually, the opposite is true. I enjoy telling people about my studies, explaining it to them and getting them in on it. Why? The more people we have in film studies, the more chance we have for the subject to evolve and change. So what weâre going to have a look at today are three critics who changed the world of film via their incredible writing, their incredible eye for film and their brilliance in the world of film reviewing. So letâs start this article and hopefully, you and I can learn along the way of my âfilmmakerâs guideâ and I hope youâre also enjoying my âone thousand and one films to see before you dieâ book review which seems to be taking forever at the moment. I did not think it would take this long at all. I thank you for reading along.
