09 Nov Movie Review Essay Beauty And The Beast
I have attched the rewrite that needs to be fixed and one other attchment Movie Review Opening
Catchthe Reader’s Attention: Think about how advertisements sell movies:”trailers” show you a few seconds of the movie to get you interested.When you begin your movie review, make your own “trailer.” If youliked the movie, then your trailer should make people want to see it; but ifyou didn’t like it, the trailer should be something that shows why you didn’tlike it. Don’t explain why you liked it or didn’t like it; make the reader likeor not like the movie by what you describe. Begin your review by retelling anincident or moment from the movie which you think captures the spirit of themovie as you understood it. Alternative: Begin your review with another kind ofstory or interesting fact–about one of the star actors, or about the making ofthe movie, or about the director.
Second Paragraph:
TakeCare of Business Near: the beginning of the review, you have to tell the readerall the obligatory stuff–the title of the movie, the director, the studio, themain actors, the year it was made (if you watched it on video), the rating.This paragraph tells the reader the things they have to know about the movie.Also, in one sentence or two, you should explain very simply what the movie isall about– not necessarily what happens, but that might work, too, if you cansay it in one two sentences.
Third Paragraph:
Characterand plot summary: What happens in the movie? You shouldn’t tell everything thathappens–and especially not the ending. But you want to summarize the basicplot of the movie, in more detail than you do in the paragraph above. One wayto do this might be to write a sentence about each main character.
Fourth Paragraph:
A KeyMoment: or Idea In this paragraph, go into detail about something importantthat interested you about the movie. If it was a musical, you should saysomething about the songs. Or if the soundtrack was good, talk about that. Orwrite more about one character who was really intriguing. Or retell another bigmoment from the movie and explain why it is important. If you think the “idea”behind a movie was really interesting, explain that idea and talk about it alittle bit. In this paragraph, you must go into depth about the movie.
Fifth Paragraph:
Evaluatethe Movie: Do you recommend it or not? Who will like it (kids or adults)? Themost important thing here is that you must also explain why you are making yourrecommendation. You must justify your opinion–and that opinion should grow outof what you write in the rest of the review. Give at least two reasons why youliked or didn’t like the movie
