Double Indemnity

Adam's point of view: he has seen it, is brilliant, its hot and sizzling, he thinks the movie is amazing and very well done

Sam's point of view: was disappointed, not a bad film, first half not suspenseful and a let down, did nothing for him,

I partly agree with sam because at the beginning it was a little slow but i also agree with adam because it did get very suspenseful. it was a good movie

Method Acting

Actors were not to emote in the traditional manner of stage conventions, but to speak and gesture in a manner one would use in private life.

Konstantin Stanislavski was a director at the Moscow Art Theater, wrote a number of books on acting, the first of which, An Actor Prepares, published in english translation in 1936

By his body movement and using his body to express things.

Favorite Actors

I don't have any favorite actors.

If they are good then their good.

A good actor is when the actor can do many types of rolls.

They are very diverse in the type of movies they act in.

They catch an audience from the first time they say or do anything.

They are a joy to watch.
