The movie Coraline is about a brave, little girl that moves from her home in Michigan and into the Pink Palace. When she arrives at her new home she meets a strange boy named Wybie, who she thinks is annoying and a waste of her time at first. While exploring her new home Coraline finds a small door that is covered by wall paper. When she opens the door there is only bricks behind it. Coraline is disappointed. When Coraline goes to sleep that night she finds a mouse in her room and follows it to the door that she found. When she looks behind the door she finds out that the door is really a portal to another world. The other world had everything that she ever wanted. The world had Coraline's "other" mother and father and her "other" neighbors, who were all nicer. After visiting the other world a few times she finds out that it is a trap set by the beldam. The beldam was Coraline's "other" mother. The beldam lured children into her world by giving them everything they ever wanted, and then she sews buttons on their eyes and eats their souls. When Coraline realizes that she was being tripped she decides not to go back to the other world, but the beldam kidnapped her real parents to get her to come back. Coraline goes back to the other world to rescue her parents and help the ghost children who's souls were taken by the beldam. In order for Coraline to rescue them she had to beat the beldam in a game. The beldam hid the eyes of the children and Coraline's parents. Coraline had to find them all i order for her to win the game. Coraline eventually finds all of the eyes, but she still didn't find her parents. Coraline tricks the beldam and finds her parents and escapes. The beldam was angry so she still attempted to get Coraline and make her return to the other world. Coraline and Wybie threw away the key to the door down a deep well.
Personally I think this was a good film and i would recommend it as a great family movie. It is good for children. It wasn't to scary for little kids and it wasn't to babyish for the older kids.
The information on the actors was good, but yoou could have said more about them like what their previous works were. There is nothing on how the movie was filmed which was disappointing. The picture gave off the ominous feelings of the film itself which aided in explaining the story. The word and sentence use is very choppy in some places and could have been better than it was. Other than those things this review was pretty decent to read.
ReplyDeletethis article was rather choppy it had no flow to it. there was no background on stop animation at all. the tone of the article personally to me a little monotone. the use of pictures and links was well done. i didnt feel like there was any sense of the authors voice within this article

The article was very choppy! There was mostly simple sentences, you could have added some variety. There was no background. Your pictures were nice, but you could have added captions. The review wasn't very clear and it was hard to follow. I didn't feel your voice come through in the review.

Personally, I liked the article; I felt that it addressed what it need to. At the beginning, i appreciated that you said who directed, who made the screen play, who produced the music and that it was based on a novel of the same name. Your first picture is perfect because it shows all the important details without revealing too much to those who haven't seen it. You did not address that it was stop motion or what stop motion was. I believe that this was an important part of what made the movie unique.
