Oppenheimer Movie Review ₊ ⊹₊ ⊹

Oppenheimer is the most popular biographical history film in 2023. written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Stared by Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the main character in this movie, so J. Robert Oppenheimer is an American theoretical physicist who was credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project. World War II undertaking developed the first nuclear weapons ever.

This movie is so beautiful visually and describing the war perfectly they make the color grading in this movie so well color it with gray that represent how depressed the main character is with his life and situation and red that represent how much temper and anger in the war condition

also, this movie has a realistic effect on bombing scenes, which makes people who watch it were there watching the bomb explosion.

afterall this movie is a really good, entertaining, and educative movie to watch, giving the viewers more historical insight, more knowledge about World War II, and more Physics Knowledge.

But this movie is not friendly to watch, especially for the kids and people who are intolerant watching violence. This movie has some explicit scenes and is complicated enough to understand as you need to understand a few things about the world war. The topic of this movie is really heavy.

REVIEW

"Tangled" is an animated movie produced by Walt Disney, released in 2010 with a duration of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It is a musical fantasy movie based on the German fairytale "Rapunzel."

Rapunzel is a young girl with magical long-blonde hair locked in a castle with her strict mother. She never comes out because her mother forbids her from going outside. Due to her innocence, she obediently follows the rules, thinking it's because her mother loves her.

On Rapunzel's 18th birthday, she asks for a gift from her mother: the opportunity to go outside and see the shining lantern that appears every year. Having seen it from her window, Rapunzel believes she's mature enough to explore the world. Unfortunately, her mother refuses, prompting Rapunzel to ask for another gift.

While her mother is away searching for Rapunzel's gift, the castle is infiltrated by a thief named Flynn Rider. Rapunzel, who has never encountered a man before, strikes a deal to free him in exchange for him taking her outside to see the lantern. Their journey unfolds with many discoveries, including Rapunzel's hidden secret.

The movie is enjoyable, featuring comedy and magical OSTs that enhance its beauty. While suitable for kids, parental guidance is advised due to the romantic story between Flynn and Rapunzel. The 3D animation sets "Tangled" apart from other Disney princess franchises, providing a visually satisfying experience. The songs are iconic and fitting for each scene, contributing to the film's overall liveliness.

In summary, "Tangled" is a delightful movie for families. Rapunzel's journey to see the lantern and uncover the secrets of her story adds to the enjoyment of this animated adventure.

Cars

A. Orientation

The story in “Cars” takes place in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic vehicles. In the final race of the Piston Cup championship, retiring veteran Strip "The King" Weathers, devious regular runner-up Chick Hicks, and cocky rookie Lightning McQueen manage to end the race simultaneously. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a competition to determine the champion which is scheduled a week later at the Los Angeles International Speedway. McQueen really wanted to win the race, because it would allow him to leave the product sponsor "Rust-Eze", a rust treatment fluid for old cars, and move to sponsor the more prestigious Dinoco team which is now home to "The King". For this reason, McQueen needs to compete with Hick Chick who also wants the same sponsor. McQueen was very excited to start training in California as soon as possible so as to force his transport vehicle, Mack, to travel all night without rest to California.

B. Interpretation Recount

Mack tries hard not to fall asleep on the road, but then becomes the victim of a group of naughty street racers (DJ, Snot Rod, Wingo and Boost), causing a sleeping McQueen to roll out from behind the trailer unnoticed. McQueen woke up in the middle of the road, lost Mack, got lost, and panicked into the old town of Radiator Springs. The result of a misunderstanding with the local sheriff caused McQueen to accidentally destroy the city's main street. McQueen was immediately arrested, then tried the following day by the city's judge and doctor, Doc Hudson. Doc initially wanted McQueen to leave Radiator Springs immediately. However, at the urging of local lawyer Sally Carrera, Doc finally decided McQueen should repair the road as a community service.

McQueen initially tried to complete the task as quickly as possible. However, the road he repaired turned out to be messy and bumpy so he was forced to start from the beginning again. As the days pass, he befriends many of the townspeople and learns from their past. Radiator Springs was once a popular stopover along Route 66, but with the construction of the nearby I-40 interstate allowing people to use a shortcut, Radiator Springs was effectively wiped from the map, causing many companies and residents to abandon it.

As the tie-breaker race begins, McQueen's thoughts keep drifting back to Radiator Springs and he is distracted from performing well. However, he is surprised to find out that his new friends from Radiator Springs have come together and become his pit crew along with Mack. Meanwhile Doc – who is back in his old racer look – serves as McQueen's new crew chief. Touched by their presence and remembering the tricks they taught him (such as Mater's backwards driving and the ability to slide on the ground that Doc taught him), McQueen is able to overcome Chick Hicks' dirty tactics and take the lead of the race. On the final lap, Chick, fed up with being in second place, purposely rear-ends The King, sending him flying off the track and into a horrific wreck that shocks the crowd.

C. Evaluation

• First of all, Pixar's animation is first-rate. It's that sort of greatness among their artists I can only geek about and dream of grasping while in my 3D animation classes. The cars have a definite realistic look, especially with the rendering (man, the reflections!). The film is also vibrantly colored, making use of a whole variety of shades of dark colors during the race, and warm ones whenever the scenes shift to Radiator Springs. Even the old, vintage car models have that chic look that brings some of the essential charm of this film. There are lots to be admired on this film just for the brilliance in animation. But among those that stand out are the race itself, and when Doc Hudson gets to bring back his good old days. Somehow, it's like watching NASCAR on IMAX again, albeit minus the über-big screen and the 3-D effect.

• Animation should be about bringing imagination to life. Give us something that can't be done in live action. Cars does this so effectively that it almost seems a redundancy to comment on how Pixar continues to raise the CGI bar. The scenery on screen is awe-inducing to the point that it's getting harder to distinguish the real from the created. The filmmakers have gone so far as to perfect reflections in the cars and to pay careful attention to weeds growing out of cracks in the sidewalk. I don't see any way you could not be visually stunned

D. Summary Evaluation

• The movie is great to look at and a lot of fun, but somehow lacks the extra push of the other Pixar films. Maybe that's because there's less at stake here, and no child-surrogate to identify with. I wonder if the movie's primary audience, which skews young, will much care about the 1950s and its cars

• The animation is very beautiful and the film really captures American Car culture
