Movie Explanation Website? - Josh Korgan - 06-21-2014 04:24 PM
Is there a website out there that has explanations for movies, like their hidden meanings and symbolism. I watch a lot of movie but every now and then they just go over my head and I'd like to know what the hell it was I just watched. So if anybody know about anything like this I would greatly appreciate the feedback.

There are lots of websites available by which you can remember your movie name. Just put "Movie Explanation Website" on the search bar and you will be able to know that websites name.

Art is usually open to interpretation, especially with something as verbose as cinema. The funny thing about cinematographers, is that they LOVE symbolism. I bet you ace ventura has symbolism in it.
The core to any frame of professionally produced picture, is as follows:
The frame is a box shape that draws your centre of attention to the focal point. It usually plays on the second part, the horizon.
The horizon is meant to give the viewr a sense of elevation. For example, if the cinematographer wanted to give the audience the impression of inferiority, theyd film the subject from below. Likewise, if they wanted the subject to appear inferior to the audience, theyd film the subject from above.
The message. Ask yourself in any scene - what's between the line? What is the director trying to tell you thats not in the script.

Id suggest a film like the excorism of emily rose to see what i mean because they blatantly use all of these techniques in a way that slaps the audience in the face. They create a sense of tension, you feel empathy for the characters and become enveloped in each scene. Im not saying this is a good movie, im just saying that youd notice all of the symbolism. If thrillers arent your flavour then try american beauty. Slightly more subtle, but its still there for you to see.
