My Film Habits

My Film Habits

 

My favourite film genres are: fantasy, sci-fi and superhero films. This is because I like the surrealism of the films associated with the genre e.g. The Lord of the Rings is set in an imaginary world with made up characters and species yet the whole thing still seems somewhat believable. This is also the case with Star Wars. I also feel that these genres have some of the best characters in film history such as Darth Vader, Harry Potter and The Avengers (even though most of them first appeared in books and comics). Despite these reasons, I feel like the biggest reason that I appreciate these genres the most is the fact that they appeal to my personality the best - nerdy/geeky.

 

 

My favourite film of all time is probably Summer Wars or The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Summer Wars is a Japanese anime styled film set a little bit into the future (I believe) where the entire plot revolves around someone who has hacked into the universe's equivalent to the internet and has access to everything stored on a computer. The Avengers: Age of Ultron is the sequel to The Avengers which I also enjoyed greatly, however, I preferred the sequel slightly more as featured one of my favourite characters from the Marvel Universe - Scarlet Witch.

 

 

Usually I don't watch many films or much TV as I prefer to watch YouTube due to the fact that it covers a wider area of media which is more tailored to my preferences such as: video games - you can watch gameplay, reviews or something different like the science behind video game situations/characters.

As a result of these reasons, I don't have much knowledge with the Teen Angst genre, I have seen some Teen Angst films before starting the course but only a few such as: The Inbetweeners and Mean Girls (as a result of my sister and cousins, and year 8 class).
