what was your faourite film over the summer?
My
favourite film of the summer was the bad education movie. I liked this film
because it was highly amusing and made me and my friends laugh a lot. It was
truly amazing to see how many locations the movie was filmed at in such a small
amount of time, some include: Amsterdam, the Eden project, Penleven castle,
port jago- these are all based in Cornwall, and many more locations. The film
only took 5 weeks to film which shows how committed everyone was who was part
of film to get the film filmed and produced then released to the public to
watch. Each character made the movie funny in their own way which for me made
the film more enjoyable as they added there own touch and personality to the
movie and in a way made me feel like I was on the trip to Cornwall with them
all. One key aspect of the film has to be the beginning were most of the cast
are in Amsterdam filming in and around the Anne frank museum. The scene begins
with the cast waiting patiently to enter the museum then Mitchell harper-
Charlie Wernham joins them with creps, before Alfie- jack Whitehall eats his,
Mitchell and Cleo hide magic mushrooms in the crep and then pass the food to
Alfie to eat. Within a couple of minutes Alfie is hallunsinating and can barley see in a straight line, then
out of the corner of his eye he thinks the wax figure of Anne is talking to
him, asking him to help her escape from the museum. Being under the influence
of drugs Alfie became more of a dare devil and ran away with the wax figure.
Eventually the police found out the figure was missing and started chasing
Alfie around the streets of Amsterdam. Alfie soon found out the police were
getting closer to him so stole a bike of the wall and placed the wax figure in
the basket on the front of the bike. This was influenced from the film e.t and
this was clearly shown by Alfie wearing the same red iconic top as Elliot when
riding the bike. Another clear comparrision to the film is when Alfie under the
influence of drugs he thinks he can fly and in the film Elliot and e.t fly on
the bike. While on the bike Alfie is nearly caught by the police and is near a
dead end so he thinks fast and decided to try and jump a ramp and make it to
the other side of the bridge, while doing this he does not succeed so ends up
in the river with Anne and the bike. This is a key aspect of the film as not
only was it funny and was very creative in the way it was filled and the way it
linked to e.t- by this I mean at the beginning we all think its going to be a
subtle opening to a movie but by the end of the beginning it has to be one of
the funniest things I have seen and one of the funniest introductions to a film
I have ever witnessed.
