The Crucible by Nicholas Hytner :: Movie Review, Film

This enamour screen version of The Crucible is based on Arthur Millers play in 1953. Nicholas Hytner did an excellent job at directing this movie. in that location are a few faults in the film, but overall it was a wonderful movie. The first fault in the movie was the beginning convulsion. The slam was supposed to be a night scene. But it looks as if it was primordial morning. I think Hytner shot the scene during the day and tried to subprogram the night vision but it did not work so well. another(prenominal) bad scene was when the girls are supposed to faint in the courtroom. The scene was poorly directed and acted. Bob Crowley did a great job with the scheming of the costumes. They completely fit with the scenery and the setting. The music was also a convinced(p) with this film. It always fit in both scene. The base drumbeats were timed fairish right in the scene when Elizabeth is questioned ab prohibited nates being an adulterer. advanced when she gave her answer the d rum went, BOOOM The camera always seemed to be in serious the right place at all times. The cameraman shot every angle perfectly. He caught every persons reply, such as in the scene when John admits to lechery with Abigail. First he catches Abigails reaction to Johns admittance of this, and then he also catches empyrean Parriss reaction when the Judge is talking about the girls dancing in the woods. The lighting worked very well in Elizabeths scene with the judge. rightly before she states her answer, Hytner makes the rain go away and the sun come out and across the back wall of the courtroom. It makes the audience think that something good is about to happen, as if she was going to tell the truth and all the trials were going to stop. atomic number 53 character that stuck out to me is Winona Ryder as Abigail. She has a look of lust. Her eyes return deep sexual passion every time she looks at John Proctor. Ryders looks are very intimidating. In the scene when she threatens th e girls, not notwithstanding does her threat, let anyone breathe a word or the edge of a word about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will ferment with me a pointy reckoning that will shudder you.
