The one thing that sticks out the most for me is the realism and deep emotional feel both movies bring to the audience. The cinematography and stories of each movie had a luring effect of pulling a person in to the scene and the event, making you feel the moment as if we were in it. The two movie scenes are the backbone

Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One” is a busy sci-fi adventure punctuated by dark atmospheres and cathartic agitation in the form of wild action sequences filled with flashy, rowdy, and usually tiresome battles. The script, co-penned by Zac Penn and Ernest Cline, was based on the latter's 2011 novel of the same name. Despite the intelligent story, which alerts for current concerns about the addictive power of the ‘unreal’ world of the Internet and video games, the film’s visuals are hyper-saturated

films watched during this course took me by surprise. I am not normally one that goes for these sorts of films; I rarely watch anything action packed. War films in general make me cry and wish that there weren’t reasons to attack each other. Saving Private Ryan, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Grave of the Fireflies all definitely tugged at my heartstrings and brought new information to light. One movie stood out over the others in regards to emotional impact and all-around enjoyableness but they
