Establishing Your Voice: Movies

This month we will begin looking at some plays and movies as we try our hand at a bit of writing for the stage and screen. You have probably seen many movies that you have enjoyed, perhaps even ones you can almost recite from memory! For today's blog, consider a movie you have seen that has made a big impact on you. Don't worry if you think the movie is silly or weird. The important thing here is to start thinking about what makes you enjoy a particular movie.

In at least 100 words, answer some or all of the following questions about the movie: What characters in the movie do you like the most and why? Do you like them because of the way they talk or the way they deal with a particular situation? What do you like about the plot of the movie? Did it make you laugh or cry? Did it remind you of events or people in your own life? Have you seen this movie more than once? If so, what caused you to see it again? Can you remember where you were and who you were with when you saw it for the first time? Did your companions enjoy the movie as much as you did? Would you recommend this movie to a friend? To a stranger? Reflect on these ideas as you formulate a blog that communicates your feelings about the movie to others. Remember to use correct spelling, capitalization and punctuation.
