A Filmmaker's Guide to: Joaquin Phoenix
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. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

NB Reviews: "Nomadland"
I'm a bit of a film buff, to say the least. Every year, I try to watch every single Academy Award for Best Picture nominee. Including the boring ones meant to try and get George Clooney or Glen Close a nomination. Especially those ones. And I found the nominees this year so interesting that I'd like to talk about each one of them. So, I'll be reviewing all 8 in the lead up to Oscar night. In order from worst to best (in my personal opinion).

Warrior
It’s tempting to herd all men into one group, assuming we all fit a few general stereotypes that describe what a man is supposed to be, do and have. And, while most men will likely not decry any such grouping (preferring stoic silence to sounding whiny), trust me – the words “man movie” do not describe every man’s ‘type’ when it comes to movies. Normally, however, a ‘good’ movie or television show will be seen as ‘good’ across a wide spectrum of both men and women. Television shows and movies that is universally regarded as ‘good’ will usually achieve the following:

I Care A Lot(2021)- Review
"Are you a lamb or a lion?" Most con movies are based on this simple principle of animals, eat or be eaten, showcasing the protagonist as a highly ambitious unempathetic person who will stop at no end to complete their con; to game the system, breaking rules and laws. While most of the general characteristics meet with the protagonist of I Care A Lot, Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike), but she does her grifts in line with the system and the laws. The scam is simple yet brilliant. Marla finds naïve elderly clients who have considerable assets and wealth. After spotting these potential clients, she convinces the court to grant her guardianship of these elderly people, on the grounds that they cannot function well by themselves. After being appointed their guardian she racks up money by utilizing their assets. The business is going well and Marla is enjoying life with her girlfriend and business partner Fran (Eiza Gonzalez). But the story gets less colorful when she ends up taking charge of a woman who seemed a simple catch but turned out to have dangerous connections.

Popcorn, Nachos
I am a person who likes to watch different genres of movies. It's funny now that I think about it because growing up the TV was not a huge presence in my memories at all, and what I do remember is that we had three channels. Of those channels I remember only being really interested in Saturday morning cartoons and Sunday evening 6 pm Disney movies.

He starts to get upset then hear drums coming from the phone, he takes the phone out of his pocket as it starts glowing. “Jumunji, a game one may find to leave their world behind”. He starts smiling and locks the door after checking that it’s all clear. “This is it man, I’m going to see you real soon” plugging the phone up to the heart monitor through usb. Waiting for something to happen he looks at the monitor as it starts to glow “Beep” the game logo appears on the monitor as he starts his mad scientist laugh. He grabs his brother’s hand “I’m going to see you sooner that later” smiling he looks down at his phone and suddenly starts falling transforming from 6.8 man to 5.4 Franklin Finbar landing steadily on his feet. As his 5.7 brother falls in next to him as 6.4 Dr. Smolder Bravstone landing on his feet and falling to his knees, confused, gasping for air, and full of questions.

Suddenly a Jeep pulls up “Welcome to Jumunji, if you lose you only have yourself to blame but when make it to the it call out it’s Jumuni’s name” then stops to drop them off at a beach “You can’t stand here and wish your more then just a dish because everything creature in this lake is bigger than your average fish, good luck”. They start walking as the oldest brother starts talking about what happened after his accident the youngest brother cuts him off to say out he doesn’t even really like fish especially not if their carnivorous as he still try’s to figure out what’s going on. Then they stop and see the water start to move, “There are a lot of things bigger than fish” says the youngest brother “A lot of things like Sea Lions” as the oldest brother starts running down the beach. “Do we have some type of powers or something or we’re just here running for our lives” says the youngest. “GREAT QUESTION” as the older brother looks if the backpack on his back and ends up pulling out a lasso. Extremely puzzled and running out of breath the younger brothers asks “Are they still going extinct in real life, I don’t want to hurt it” also slowing down to make sure his brother is okay the older brother yells “Then find something to distract is so we can escape” The youngest brother points to what looks like a jungle and now angry aggressively says “When we get out of here I’m not going to Sea World” as they approach the trees he tells him to get over it because sea world animals are way nicer from from another inmate told him.

A biopic is a film which is about a historical/cultural/artistic figure that was important in some way, shape or form of moving the medium forwards.

There are actually five very easy steps in order to research and create your great biopic and I am going to share them with you.
