Movie Review: 'The Guilty' Starring Jake Gyllenhaal
The Guilty is an American remake of a 2018 Danish thriller that was based very loosely on real events. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the American version of The Guilty is one of the fastest paced and most exciting movies of 2021. This can be attributed to Fuqua, a talented action director whose style translates shockingly well to a drama about one man and a phone bank. Of course, The Guilty would not work as well as it does without star Jake Gyllenhaal, an actor with more than enough presence and charisma to carry a movie all by himself.

Whiplash is an action drama set in the world of music, more precisely jazz, where a young percussionist who dreams of high performance enrolls in a school run by a teacher with unconventional and excessively brutal methods.

Imagine this: a young couple buys a house only to uncover that these walls were witness to violence. Dangerous events escalate along with private frustrations. Evil has left a mark on this place, and that evil might be strong enough to split the marriage apart. The events boggle the imagination, but nothing stretches the audience's capacity for belief more than one detail:

The whispers of the inner and outer worlds: the dialogue between the field and the theater audience in "The Human Voice"
Before Pedro Almodóvar filmed (The Human Voice, 2020), there were many stage versions adapted from the original work-(Jean Cocteau)'s one-act play "The Human Voice" of the same name. On the other hand, Almodovar tried to use short films as the medium to break away from the way of watching stage plays, trying to use movie vocabulary to describe the new "The Human Voice". This adaptation from the film media on the one hand brings a special way of viewing the work; on the other hand, it puts the encounter of the protagonist in the film into a more complex, or highly intertextual context with the field, space, and even the audience. middle.

A Filmmaker's Guide: "Bicycle Thieves" (1948)
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re 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 ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - 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.

So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

"The Incredibles 2" must be a good parent before becoming a national hero
With the standard of works produced by PIXAR animation factory, basically, the final results are guaranteed to a certain degree. With more and more excellent original works emerging one by one, launching a sequel has always been a high-risk attempt. Successful examples include "Finding Dory" and "Monsters University" which is a prequel. The failed examples are only half-tone and four-different "Finding Dory". What's more, fans have waited for 14 years for the attention-grabbing "The Incredibles "(Incredibles) sequel──
