Alright so this assignment is to write about a movie review. Review a movie review. So I'm writing about Roger Ebert's review of the awesome movie, "The Fall". It's great. The movie, I mean. Mr. Ebert's review was published by the Chicago Sun-Times. Said review has a pretty basic structure. He starts out with his reactions to the movie, and a little description of some of the images, and then he moves into the plot. He gives a really detailed description of the plot. Then he moves into his analysis of whether a reader would like the movie or not, with some reasons, and then the final paragraph deals a little bit with the theme and it's also just sort a conclusion. Wrapping things up. He writes a lot about the plot, but he didn't give away the ending which was really nice. Even though I've already seen it. I just don't like it when people do that. There's not a lot about the scenery or the other dramatic aspects of the movie, which I found surprising since they're so spectacular in the movie. Ok so our movie reviews. I think we should get more freedom with them, because last year when we did this we really didn't get a lot of freedom and had to write exactly what the teachers wanted us to write. Which was ok, I guess, but it would be really nice to have more freedom. Some basic structure would probably be a good idea, so that you can grade it, and so that we have some idea of what we're supposed to be writing about. Also, it would be awesome to write more about what our opinion was on the movie, not only whether we thought it was good or bad but also what we thought could be improved in the movie. Like if we see plot holes or something. So now I'm done. Here is the review that I reviewed. The end.
