Last 5 Films I Watched

WHAT I ENDED UP APPLYING:

• The knowledge/interest in Shakespeare ended up being useful for the signifiers of high art in a pop culture film, as well as the origins of the romantic comedy with Twelfth Night mentioned below, but also As You Like It, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing

POSSIBLE POINTS OF INFLUENCE

• Representation of LGBT+ like in The Imitation Game
• Some of these films narratives I aspire to create one day, but most of them are too complicated for a two-minute film opening

I had not watched any of the trailers before watching the film.

The Imitation Game

I had been wanting to watch this film for a while, primarily because of the lead actor, Benedict Cumberbatch. This demonstrates how the star system dominates the film industry. While I don't just watch films and other media in general, recognisable faces always give me a good feeling about the film, especially when I first heard of it two years, it excited me that Benedict Cumberbatch was in a leading role after seeing him in several TV roles leading up to internationally successful Sherlock and his role as a villain in Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Twelfth Night 

I have had an interest in Shakespeare for a while, and have been watching more and more screen adaptations.

The Tempest

The Reader

Watched it because I read the book, intellectual property.

The Age Of Stupid

A very relevant issue for our planet today, and the DVD had been lying around for a while.
