----------------------------------- malisa Sat Jan 21, 2006 11:29 pm help [movie review edit] ----------------------------------- please help me edit this its a movie review Viewers would be surprised and interested in the movie Dead Poet Society like I was. The movie was directed by Peter Weir and written by Tom Schulman in 1989. The movie was about an English Professor named John Keating (Robin Williams) telling his students at Welton Academy how to seize the day and make their lives meaningful. Overall, I believe the movie was good. The movie touched my heart and I almost cried at the end of the movie. The movie was tragic and suspenseful. I would rate it as two thumps up. I would recommend it to everyone because in a society that we live in today not everyone has hopes I really enjoyed watching the movie because of two characters in the film. I liked Neil Perry's character in the film. He was John Keating's student. He made me realize how much one has to try in order to follow their dream. My favorite character in the movie was John Keating. I liked the techniques he used to teach his class. It was very different and unexpected. For example, he made his students stand on top of a desk to show his student how to see things in different perspective. John Keating made me realize the importance of following ones dream and everyone is not the same. ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Sat Jan 21, 2006 11:41 pm ----------------------------------- :o ----------------------------------- brenn Sun Jan 22, 2006 12:33 am ----------------------------------- O_o where's Tony, he needs to see this. and then move it. ----------------------------------- md Sun Jan 22, 2006 12:53 am ----------------------------------- No? ----------------------------------- zylum Sun Jan 22, 2006 1:03 am ----------------------------------- i rate that movie review "two thumps up". sounds like a 6th grader wrote this... ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jan 22, 2006 2:15 am ----------------------------------- Used "I" to many times... ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Jan 22, 2006 7:27 am ----------------------------------- Umm....what? ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Jan 22, 2006 8:26 am ----------------------------------- I wonder how many other forums this kid has posted this on. :lol: ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Jan 22, 2006 1:25 pm ----------------------------------- O_o where's Tony, he needs to see this. The movie? :? I saw it.. Anyways - a good review is supposed to contrast highs and lows of the movie and let the reader make their own (now educated) decision about how much they might like the movie. You talk too much about how you felt the movie was, but don't explain why. Why was it tragic? Why was it suspenseful? Why did you almost cry? Explain all of those points, and then remove your personal opinions. ----------------------------------- Justin_ Sun Jan 22, 2006 3:14 pm ----------------------------------- And like, why would you ask a question like this on this forum? I'm sort of asking just to make sure that this topic is stupid, cause to me it seems stupid for someone to post a movie synopsis on a programming forum. So, can I see a vote of who thinks this topic is stupid? Is it stupid? Raise your hand if yes. ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jan 22, 2006 4:04 pm ----------------------------------- I think its alright, this is a forum built to help people (more specifically students)... but yeah, it is a programming forum but... can't you ask non-programming questions also? We do math here don't we? not all of it is related to programming. I'm not sure if this should be in the [General Discussion] forum though... ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:43 pm ----------------------------------- I think its alright, this is a forum built to help people (more specifically students)... but yeah, it is a programming forum but... can't you ask non-programming questions also?

Normally, something like this would be perfectly normal, provided it came from someone who had been posting on the site a bit. Asking a boon of friends on this site is great. It's wierd when someone's first post is something so unrelated, though. :? ----------------------------------- cool dude Sun Jan 22, 2006 8:14 pm ----------------------------------- u r write cerventas it is wierd but i'm going do defend 'malisa'. this is his/her first time posting on this site and all of u started attacked him/her. this is an off topic forum so u should be able to post off topic things. now i hope 'malisa' will still come back to this forum. ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sun Jan 22, 2006 8:39 pm ----------------------------------- this is an off topic forum so u should be able to post off topic things ...

I realy do not see much atacking in this topic, alot of peoleop realsized this should have been posted in off topic to start with. Some peoleop acuatly gave good replys like tony. It is a bit hard to give editing sudugestions with out know more like if this is a grade 6 progject, a personal one or a uni one. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Jan 22, 2006 9:06 pm ----------------------------------- u r write cerventas Ack! English! ----------------------------------- chrispminis Sun Jan 22, 2006 10:13 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, we need to know what level of education this review is for. Im sorry to say, but the grammar is an atrocity (even for me whose grammar is mediocre, did that even make sense?). While one can easily interpret the message you are trying to get across it's conveyed in a confusing way. Also good reviews have a lot of adjectives and adverbs :) ----------------------------------- cool dude Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:32 pm ----------------------------------- u r write cerventas Ack! English! lol i was trying to edit that but my computer crashed on me so i couldn't sorry. :oops: and this is for Hacker Dan u said there is no attacking but if u read "Justin's" post about raise your hand who thinks this is stupid in my opinion thats not really nice. but thats just my opinion. ----------------------------------- rizzix Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:41 pm ----------------------------------- Lots of rude ppl here (including my self). Get used to it. ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:55 pm ----------------------------------- That person isn't coming back here... :roll: ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:46 am ----------------------------------- lol i was trying to edit that but my computer crashed on me so i couldn't sorry. :oops: and this is for Hacker Dan u said there is no attacking but if u read "Justin's" post about raise your hand who thinks this is stupid in my opinion thats not really nice. but thats just my opinion. If i moderated things at that level of "rudeness" this whould be more then a full time job and peoleop whould be upset at the level of censorship. It is not easy moderating a forum like this, do it to much and every one calls you a power crazy dictora upseted with censorship and not enought and the forums get flamed to death and every one thinks you are to laxed. What it comes down to some times like rizzix was saying is that some peoleop are just not nice and unforntly that is how the world works right now and although i wish i could chage that i am unable to at this time. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jan 23, 2006 7:34 am ----------------------------------- What Dan is trying to say is that Rizzix and I are allowed to be rude. And I wasn't really intending to be rude - just being a grammar nazi. ----------------------------------- Boo-chan Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:40 am ----------------------------------- Hurray for grammar nazis, they're all that stops the english language from being replaced with AOL speak. or maybe: HURAY FOR GRMMAR NAZIS THERE AL TAHT S2PS DA ANGLISH LANGUAEG FROM BNG R3PLAECD WIT AOL SP3AK [url=http://ssshotaru.homestead.com/files/aolertranslator.html]AOL Translator ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jan 23, 2006 10:14 am ----------------------------------- In other words: WUT DAN IS TRYNG 2 SAY IS TAHT RIZIX AND I R ALOWAD 2 B RUDE11!1!111 OMG LOL AND I WASNT RILLY INT3NDNG 2 B RUD3 - JUST BNG A GRMMAR NAZI11!1!!1 OMG WTF LOL I hate AOL. ----------------------------------- brenn Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:57 pm ----------------------------------- Hurray for grammar nazis, they're all that stops the english language from being replaced with AOL speak. or maybe: HURAY FOR GRMMAR NAZIS THERE AL TAHT S2PS DA ANGLISH LANGUAEG FROM BNG R3PLAECD WIT AOL SP3AK I hope that hurt you to write as much as it hurt me to read >_> ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:07 pm ----------------------------------- I hope that hurt you to write as much as it hurt me to read >_> Well the link provided does the conversions..
