This week we will be watching numerous film clips and you will be expected to write several analytical paragraphs based on the clips you watch. Any time you are going to write a film analysis or critique, one of the best places to start is with your first reaction to the film, which is where this blog question begins.

I enjoyed this film clip very much. It was humorous and it has one of the best actors in it, Johnny Depp. I would like to watch the rest of the film because I enjoy comedy and the clip was very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Jonny Depp was very funny in this clip. I would also watch the rest because of the same reasons
DeleteI would agree that Johnny Depp is awesome but I don't know if I could handle the whole movie.
DeleteI thought this was a very funny entertaining clip. It was a very good scene showing one of Jonny Depp's earlier movies which i haven't really experienced yet. I think i would watch the rest of the movie to see what happened. This scene in particular was very funny so I assume that rest of the movie was at about the same level of humor.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp is one of my favorite actors. I never seen this movie but this clip was very entertaining to watch Depp playing in a comedy movie. I never really seen Johnny Depp act in comedy movies but this looks really funny and I would totally watch this.
ReplyDeleteI feel like he's known for humor. That's how I know him and also from his involvement in modern movies. I agree that I would watch this movie too.
DeleteThe clip was entertaining and quite funny. I love Johnny Depp and I think he's an amazing actor. I would watch the rest of this movie because I love comedy.
ReplyDeleteI liked the clip because it was entertaining and funny. I enjoyed the clip and it was kind of confusing so it made me want to see the rest of the film. I didn't really know what was going on and it made me want to find out what would happen next.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this film clip, it caught my attention and it was funny. I would definitely want to see the rest of this movie, it looks like a really good comedy. I've never really seen Johnny Depp in a comedy but based on that clip it seems like he's sort of similar to Jim Carrey.
ReplyDeletethis film clip really caught my attention, it was strange interesting and original. I would watch the movie to find out what is wrong with the man in the hat, why would he play with bread and then disturb the workers, I want to know what would happen to the man for disturbing workers in the movie
DeleteI thought this clip was interesting, but I was also confused, so seeing the rest of the movie would be helpful. I didn't find it very humorous, and that's probably because I'm unaware of the story and plot of the movie. I wouldn't mind seeing the whole movie, but for some reason this clip doesn't intrigue me. I do like Johnny Depp, so maybe I would watch it, but I guess, though this clip is interesting, I wouldn't be interested in watching it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the clip very much because it was very funny and very entertaining to watch. I would love to watch the rest of the film. The clip was so interesting and a great comedy it makes me want to finish the movie.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this clip. I liked it because it's different than many of the movies we watch today. Instead of all of the action and violence in movies today, you get sort of an old school comedy feeling. After watching this I wanted to see the rest of the film. The comedy was unique to and really grabbed my attention.
ReplyDeleteI liked this clip because it was more old fashion. the movie also had a different type of comedy that you see today. It was clean and not people just acting stupid to make the audience laugh like you see today. I wanted to see the rest of the movie because this clip got me interested and wondering what the rest of the movie like.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy watching this one clip, I also do like Johnny Depp a lot. I unfortunately I think (without watching the movie) this movie would get very repetitive. The clip had some good humor but I feel like it would be way over used throughout the movie. If I did end up watching this whole movie it would only be because of Johnny Depp.
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoyed watching this video. In fact, Benny and Joon is one of my favorite Depp movies, so I'm kind of biased here. What I WILL say is that the movie is very clever in its ability to meld genres together. Although this clip exhibits comedic behaviors, other parts of the movie are often very heavy and emotional. It's always interesting to see different types of film all rolled into one.

This clip portrays a different sense of comedy, and I find it very amusing. Benny and Joon is a classic movie, acted out by Johnny Depp. He uses motion and his actions to show his purpose at work, rather than using words/dialogue. Over all, I did like this clip because of the sense of humor used, and seeing this clip made me more interested to find out what happens in the rest of the movie.
ReplyDeleteI liked the clip and thought it was fairly humorous but it didn't really make me want to watch the rest of the movie. I say that simply because I am not a huge fan of older movies portraying the seventies. I just don't like movies from that time period and I'm not certain why but I am more of a fan of modern action and comedy movies. Physical or situational comedy instead of topical humour is what I like. The clip was very funny but not in a way that I wanted to watch more it was funny in a way that makes you smile while it is happening.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, yes.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the rest of this film. I loved this clip because it just shows how awesome and wild of an imagination this character has. Also, the way he kept a straight face the entire time made the scene even more funny to me, especially when he was mocking the waitress at the end of the clip with the voice he used. I want to watch the rest of the movie because I love Johnny Depp, and also because that one scene really makes me automatically hope that the rest of the movie will be as funny as the clip above.
Thank you!
I've always been a Johnny Depp fan and this is another example of his great acting tallent. The scene uses music to add to his great personality and facial expressions to make the scene seem very honest and well thought out.
