Film Theory: Adaptation

Most films are adpated from books. This is a very hard and important process in which the screenwriter sometimes has to make shorter a 4 days book into one hour and a half of cinema action. As you can imagine, this needs a great knoledge of the book and the audiences to which it will be directed

Movie Review: Up

Today I will talk about a great Disney-Pixar movie named Up. This movie was directed by Pete Docter and Bob Peterson. The story is about a 78-year-old man named Carl Fredricksen, who sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.
This movie is a great family tale which also explores life and death, being a special film because of this particularity. This film won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and the soundtrack, made by Michael Giacchino, is a masterpiece that gets to the heart of audiences. This is definitely a must watch
