Film Critique- EPIC

                    Family, it might be one of the most main important factors in this movie. M.K. was unaware of what she had and gosh i hate writing like this. Let's get to the point.

                                    Subject and questions.
   Subjects/ Questions - MOVIE OUTLINE


       Subjects in a movie like obstacles and road blocks for a character. So what did Epic cover? Epic had writers that cover several morals and thing's in everyday life for the newer generations. Divorce. M.K. had to handle the separation of her parents de to the fathers obsession. Which happens alot today with either parent. As she got older she heard things about her father and it's probably alot more than what can be seen on the surface of the movie. She probably missed her father, wondered about him and cared for what he had to say. But after the loss of her mother she was most likely depressed and hurt but could only result to her father. She needed somewhere to go and he was the only one. That probably worried her. What if he didn't change? Why did the mother feel so upset she wanted to leave? Questions leading in her mind and thoughts crumbling. This is things that a story needed to gain. The creators had to have some basis for and information to even start animating. The plot line. What would become of M.K. if the father had not changed? What if he did change?
                    Questions and thoughts cramming these minds of creators. Then after, What was the obsession? Small people living in a forest. What do they do? The protect the life of the forest, live in peace and are like a small country. Clothes? Designs? All of these are perfect factors. There are questions of personality for voicing and scripts.


                       

                         Animation, acting, direction and quality.


The animation seemed to be the start of more great movies from the producers. But the voice acting was spectacular. The personalities of every character seemed to fit the role perfectly. It does take a long time to get the voices in time with the animation, and also the animation can be revolved about the takes for the voices. As you can see in the picture above, even animate characters have to have a wardrobe. The personalities have to match the character as well. Nod ( main character )  seems to have this dirty look. He acts as if he should be a con man but is actually a warm-hearten person and learns during the movie what he really wants and the true meaning of what it is to be a "Leaf Man". These roles are Character development. The character changes throughout the movie or show one way or another. Maybe through thinking or bad experience or even good experience.




(Josh Hutcherson voices Nod in Epic)

                                  Strengths and weaknesses

                    I feel the strengths are that the character development touched everyone. It was actually interesting to watch the movie and see these characters change. But I believe in no weaknesses in a movie unless based off a book. Let's face it. Defiantly going to be alot of criticism on movies based off books because "They didn't do that right" or "That didn't happen in the book" so I know how it goes. But this movies was put together beautifully.  


I'm done with this review. Nyeh. Thank.
