This was my first favorite because i think that of all the others, it relates so perfectly to America today. Whats one of the most popular things on the Internet today? Facebook. What kind of movie will attract Facebook users? a movie about the making of Facebook. There were so many great quotes that really make you look back on the movie in the end. The other thing was how there were multiple story lines going on at once, which makes it unique, intriguing, and exciting. The acting was phenomenal, even though if it was a little more exaggerated than what really happened. Finally, the lighting of certain scenes adds effect. Dark lighted scenes are either important or sad, while the well lighted scenes are happy or funny.
2.) King's Speech
This was my second favorite because it felt like you were apart of the story and that you went back in time. It portrays how something so small, can be such a big deal. it all depends on who you are. There were so many important characters in the storyline. It doesn't just show the happy parts where the kings voice is perfect. Its actually the opposite in meaning that it shows mostly only parts when he gets frustrated, then shows him learning more. The acting by Colin Furth was absolutely amazing. It was easily some of the best acting I've ever scene. Finally, the dialogue was so well written it adds to the effect of the great acting.
3.)Toy Story 3
This was my third favorite choice because it was so much better than everyone thought it would be. Not saying that it looked bad, it looked amazing, it was just better in a new kind of way. The first two movies were really good. but both of them combined and then compared the third is a huge difference. Not only was the third one just really good, but it had a whole new kind of story line. In the first one they try to stay with Andy. in the second, they try to save the other toys. in the third however, they do both in a whole new way. There are so many new characters introduced in this movie that if i hadn't seen the first two, i would have thought that one was the first. Its story line was just so fresh and amazing that it easily has a chance to win.
4.)True Grit
Overall, i really liked True Grit. After the first preview i saw, i thought it looked really bad. after the second preview, it looked really good. Even from the previews and trailers i could tell that it would have that traditional western theme. I thought that Jeff Bridges looked really good. After i had seen the movie, i was slightly disappointed. I was looking forward to a lot of shootouts, cowboys, and traditional western movie features. Not to say that True Grit didn't have these features, but just not a lot of them. I was thinking i would be an action movie but it was more like an action and drama. In my opinion, there were a few too many nights sitting around the fire talking about drinking water from horse footprints. But there were also lots of cool things i didn't expect; some of these were the man in the bear suit, finding Chaney in the creek, and the hung man in the trees. Overall, i placed True Grit in fourth place, not because it was bad, but because the others were just a little better.
5.)Inception
I think Inception is a lot like Avatar last year. Everybody thought the graphics and special effects were unreal and completely new and modernized and cool. The thing that everybody seemed to attach onto about Inception was the storyline. To themselves, everybody thinks about their dreams and how the work and what not. Like The Social Network, when something like that is made into a movie, people are going to want to see it really, really bad. I think the overall best feature of Inception was either the special effects or how they went further than just explaining dreams (dream levels, totems, inception and extracting ideas from other people). I think that Inception was more of a "cool" movie than a great storyline movie.
6.)Winter's Bone
There were some parts in Winter's Bone that were really good and intriguing. Most of the movie though, was her either walking, making food, or talking to people. Not the most exciting thing. But i do think that the effects, such as zoom, lighting, and camera work, really added to the sadness of the story. I think it was too much of a sad movie or "downer" to win movie of the year. My main opinion is that it didn't start getting really good until the end. But i still thought that it was a decent movie.
