My favorite
movies to watch are documentaries anything from animals to how things work. I
love to learn new things from movies because Im a visual learner and I can
remember a lot of what I just watched. The other movies I enjoy watching are movies
about superhero’s (manly Marvel). After
watching all of Marvels new superhero movies they begin to connect in some way
and build on each other. Minus all of the cool actions how they connect is what
really draws me to these types of movies.
If I were
to recommend a movie to someone It would really depends on whether they liked
actions movies or documentaries. For just a cool movie with a lot of things
happing I would say the “Avengers”. Now for documentary I would tell people to
watch “GasLand”. I saw this on HBO about a month ago and I’m still thinking
about it everyday. To be honest it was a little hard to get into at first but
half way through you couldn’t stop watching. Josh Fox who made the film travels
around the country exposing the truths of hydraulic fracking and how its
harming Americans everywhere. This is a link to the website of the movie it has
a ton of information http://www.gaslandthemovie.com
.
In the
golden age of Hollywood the person I knew the most about was John Wayne. I had
seen a bunch of his movies and when I looked on
Hollywoodsgoldenage.com I didn’t realize how many movies he
was in. During his career John was in 180 film earning him the 13 Greatest male
stars of all time. He was many know for his western and in his movie “The
Searchers” was one named the greatest western of all time. In my opinion John
Wayne was the best actor for his time, he made his movie seem so real as if it
was a true story.
Now that you mention, I've noticed that I, too, am into movies that tie a bigger picture together. I love puzzles, so this may have something to do with it. Although, with the documentaries, my interests seem to be limited with the animal kingdom.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with documentaries being a great genre. It's always fun to learn something new and learn different view points. They also help a lot in understanding things in greater depth.
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy many of the current superhero movies that have recently come out. Also, I enjoy some documentaries mainly dealing with machinery. As for John Wayne, I have seen only a couple of his westerns but I found them to be pretty entertaining
ReplyDeleteIn terms of Marvel giving out a movie to each super hero, I'd really like to see one for Deadpool.
ReplyDeleteI agree, The Avengers is a GREAT movie! In fact, all of the Marvel superhero movies are great. The movies not only engage you with their action scenes, but they also portray meaningful lessons through some of their quotes. Both of these make the movies interesting for not only action movie lovers but for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy watching documentaries, I feel like it would be a lot of fun to make one. Animal Documentaries are awesome, my favorites are probably the planet earth ones.
