When I first watched the movie Good Will Hunting, I was pretty young and never fully understood all the great messages that this movie portrayed. As a kid, me and my father would spend our nights watching action thrillers and such but occasionally watch a more “serious” movie, and one one random night at…

Batman Begins: A Cinematic Memoir
Growing up I watched a lot of movies. My Mother worked full time, went to school, and was raising two children. Keeping us entertained with a film was a way for her to take a nap. My experience with films had become over saturated to the point where I wasn’t really interested anymore. In 2005…
The Godfather – A Cinematic Memoir
I first saw the Godfather when I was in ninth grade, around the year 2012, and remember thinking it was an alright movie, depicting a traditional Italian family, and its involvement as being one of New York’s deadliest crime organization. However, I did not think it was much different than other mobster movies I have…
The Matrix
I still remember the first time I had watched The Matrix. I was sixteen at the time, and it had happened to be in a film class. The teacher had set up a sheet that he used as a makeshift screen. Up close we saw the giant Pods that held the humans captive, Neos mouth getting…
The Child Catcher
I saw the movie 1968 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang when it came out and I was a child: six years old. I don’t remember much about it. I remember the flying car. And I think I remember people dancing around and playing candy musical instruments. It was based on a book by the author of the…

Cinematic History: Kill Bill and Feminism
One of Tarantino’s masterpieces, Kill Bill is his most female influenced picture that has affected the way women are now portrayed in movies. As an action movie, the film itself is full of amazing picturesque scenes of fighting with swords and fist. Instead of only males taking to the fights, women are on full display….

Personal Cinematic History: Janez Demsar
I myself have always loved movies and films. I find myself going to the movie theatre to see whatever blockbuster happens to be out more often then most people I know. On my spare time I will find movie streaming and just watch whatever seems interesting, whether I am re-watching it or it is new…
cinematic-memoir
One of my favorite movies, that I mentioned in my introduction post is The Grand Budapest Hotel. I really like how Wes Anderson directs, he has a really distinctive directing style, and the way that his movies are shot is captivating. In The Grand Budapest hotel, there is a handful of really diverse characters. The plot…
