WEEK 9 - The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec
A number of critics have suggested that while Adele Blanc-Sec is 'a gorgeous folly' and 'a tasty trifle', it is 'altogether without point'. I think that these critisisms are not very legitimate because they arn't very precise and are only focusing on the fact that the narrative is weak compared to most films. I think the critics need to focus more on the entertainment and unique side of the film, for example, the film comes accross as a good childrens comedy considering it isn't to complicated and has a simple humour aspect, so in that area, the fact that the film doesn't have a strong narative is perfect for entertaining children.
Escapism is a very common thing in films nowdays, some films give escapism at their full and others not at all, on a scale of 1 to 10 i reckon that films should be on a scale of 5 for escapism, offering both the needs of escaping from whatever stress your day to day life may throw at you, yet still keeping you in reality and making it more real at the same time. If it is an educational film, i think that it shouldn't offer any form of escapism and and just focus on the reality of the subject that it is focusing on.
The types of films i generally enjoy are Horrors and Comedys, these films usually have a narrative to them but sometimes it may pay more attention to the parts of the films like, who's gonna die or if it's a comedy, what humorous thing is going to be brought up next. When they do this it can sometimes make the film more entertaining than it would if the narrative was the highlight of the film.
