Question 1

My first movie I chose is Up. This movie has always been a favorite of mine because of the weird connections throughout the movie.  Caral Fredricksen lost not only his wife but his best friend. Right before she passed he wanted to bring her to a trip that they have been wanting to go on since they were kids. A trip to Paradise Falls.  Everything was coming to an end in Carl’s life, but Caral decided that he wanted to finish him and his wife’s dream. Right before Caral left he came across a “wilderness explorer” name Russell. Russell and Caral didn’t connect at all. Throughout the movie Russell introduced him to Doug and that big bird thing. Because of Russell, Carl opened he s eyes to the world. He found a new person he cared for, that he loved. After all the chaos Caral still managed to land his and Ellie’s house on top of Paradise Falls. He finished her dream. Thanks to Russell, Carl finally got to finish.

This movie always made me emotional because of the relationships built and the way everything laid out. I’ve read a lot about the possible meaning behind this movie. Whatever it was meant to be, it will always be loved. This movie will forever make my heart feel full. The emotions that it brings me makes me appreciate so much.

My next movie is Wall-E. This movie begins with a view of the earth, or what is left of it. It shows what humans have done to the planet. Everything that is left is waste. Humans have killed the planet. With only a few species shown I’m guessing that a great percent of species have died by the cause of garbage and pollution. This movie has one of the biggest messages. It’s about the environment and why we need to care for our planet, because hey, it’s the only one we have. When we see the perspective of Wall-E we realize how awful our species have become. We have become selfish and ignorant. We don’t care about any other species because we can just fix their doings with technology. This movie brings awareness of positive change that needs to be done in order to save what can become.

The last movie I have picked is Big Hero 6. Ever since I watched this movie in theaters I have loved it. In the movie Hiro lost his brother in a fire. When looking through his old stuff he found Baymax. His personal healthcare companion. Baymax might have just been a robot, but he was there for Hiro. He helped him through change and just made life easier and a bit more happy.

All these movies have a connecting theme and that is change. Change is linked in all three of these movies. In Up it was living in change, in Wall-E it was creating future change, and in Big Hero 6 it was escaping change. Yes, change is mostly in all Disney movies, but the way the creators put emotion in these movies it really makes me full. All of these movies help me appreciate what I have and what I have become.

Question 2

1: Spiderman: Into the spider-verse. The reason why is that, when I first saw it, it was like a real comic book, like how you would think the characters would move in one. With the choppy movement and the ink dots as well. It also made me realize the amazing look of spray paint art. NOT THE ILLEGAL KIND! Just spray paint art, plus the soundtrack is AMAZING!

2: Venom (the new one). The reason why is because of how amazing it is. I cannot really describe it in words other than, just look at it.

3: Black Panther. This left such a big imprint on me, same as endgame and the new aquaman. All of which are tied for this spot. Is it obvious i'm a comic book nerd?

Question 5

Hotel Transylvania (all the parts)- This movie changed my perspective about ghosts and was emotionally attached to me because my family and my parents also want the good of me just like in the film.
Boss Baby- This movie is also emotionally attached to me because even I have a younger brother, who at the first just seemed like a monster to me, but still we gradually learnt to get along.

Accepted Answer

I would choose a hotel in Transylvania because this film altered my perception of ghosts and became emotionally attached to me because, like the characters in the film, my family and parents want the best for me. I would also choose up because it has a connection with he character being sad and at the sem time happy to complete his goal with his wife but he couldn't go with his wifi her wifi passed away .
