Movie Review for Up

By: Liew Ting Wei (173252)

This movie is a nice and PG movie. This movie is a great family movie too which parents and children can learn a lot of moral value from the movie. It is about adventure, friendship, royalty of a dog, and great boy role model. This movie did tell us we have to have our own dream, not just helping other to accomplish their dream. For example, the old man, Carl Fredricksen use his whole life to accomplish his wife dream. After his wife dead and he did bring his house to the destination. He realized that he has nothing to do. He is chasing his wife dream in his entire life. Other than that, the royalty of the dog express very well in this movie. That's why dogs are man's best friend. The Labrador in this movie follow Carl and Russell everywhere and protect them from danger. Even though Carl dislike it but Dug still follow them everywhere.

Movie Review for Ice Princess

This movie is very great and inspiring. It motivated me a lot. This movie is about sport and some physic concept used in daily life. This movie told us that people not only can have one dream. You may have many dream. In this movie, Casey is very good in physic. She want to apply a scholarship so she did a project about the movement of ice skating. She use physic knowledge in the movement of ice skating. Here, she start to learn how to skate and she realize that she love this sport very much. Even though her mum does not agree but she still continue to skate because she know she like it very much. From here, the moral value that i get is never give up to your dream. It might have somebody to disturb or stop you but do not give up. Someday, you will success as Casey in the movie.

MOVIE REVIEW: ICE PRINCESS

It’s a movie about Casey, high school physics geek whose mother has groomed her for Harvard. To become a graceful swan on ice, Casey must make her mother understand that Harvard is her mother's dream, not Casey's. "Ice Princess" shows mothers trying to live their lives through their daughters and daughters strong enough to choose their own paths. The girls manage to remain loving despite their mothers' mistakes. The story demonstrates that family and personal conflicts can be resolved with caring. In this movie, I admire the heroine, Casey (Michelle Trachtenberg), she is really beautiful especially when she is skating and she try her best to achieve her dream to be graceful ice skater. She was driven to accomplish something and did it. She was nice to everyone and, other than lying to her mother to spare her mother's feelings, she did nothing wrong. It is a movie that inspired the viewers to struggle and try their best to achieve the dream.

MOVIE REVIEW : ICE PRINCESS

This movie was directed by Tim Fywell, a 2005 American movie. The film focuses on Casey Carlyle, a normal youth who gives up a promising future academic life in order to pursue her new-found dream of becoming a professional figure skater. When I watch this movie, I really enjoyed it when the first time I watch it. I have never heard of this movie before but I really like it when I watch it. I really loves to see the way Casey skate because I have never been or try to skate before. Other than that, I can see that Casey is a very determined teenagers because she tries her best to get what she want although there are lots of obstacle. In this movie, we can see that if we dream of becoming someone or something and we work hard for it, nothing is impossible. 

This movie is about Casey Carlyle, seventeen years old physic geek and a bookworm. She is just like me although I am not taking physic right now.Actually, ice skating is Casey childhood hobby and she just realize that she can make a perfect project to get the scholarship for her studies. At first, everything was to get the scholarship but when Casey realize that this is what she want, she grab the opportunity given to her and joined the competition. She has to go through a lot before her dream become a true dream because along her journey to become a professional skater, her mother did not support her to become one. She wants her daughter to pursue her studies at the Harvard University so stat she will have a good future.

There was the time in the competition, she slips and falls but when she saw her mother in the spectator stands boosts her confidence and she gives an excellent performance that night. When she first join the skate competition, the slips and falls also happen but she did not give up and try her best to do the best performances among all the skaters. I think people should learn from Casey and do not give up on achieving something that we can call "dream".

ICE PRINCESS

CAST : Michelle Trachtenberg, Hayden Panettiere, Kim Cattral, Joan Cusack, Trevor Blumas

In my point of view, Ice Princess had given me a lot of impact; especially as a student. Basically, Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg) is a physics geek, which she would took every single thing into physics matters. But, in other different dimension, she got a hidden talent which is ice skating. Her graceful movements while ice skating would totally wowed us. Despite of being a total genius, she prefer to be a professional ice skater. How could a physics geek that had a total complicated brain able to dance so nice like she got a music box on her head? Thus, I'll discuss about the top two most affected scene to me; the scene of work as hard as you can and go for your dream.

First and foremost, for we know that when Casey got a big argument with Tina Harwood (Kim Cattrall), she began to stop skating at the ice skating centre. Since her passion towards ice skating was never fade, she keep practising it. The different thing was only the place, she was not skating on the real ice skate arena but on a frozen lake near her house. From this scene we know that nothing can prevent you to do what you like as long as you work hard so much for it. The most adorable part was when Teddy (Trevor Blumas) came with his ice polish truck and polished the lake so that Casey could skate better. In nowadays world, I bet there will be only one in a million man that can be as sweet as Teddy.

In fact, to be true, everyone's dream would never come true. So did Casey. Her mother (Joan Cusack) expected her to be the perfect child with a great grade and studied in a great institution. There was a scene where Casey finally ruined her Harvard interview just for achieving her dream; being a great ice skater. Through this I learnt that once we got a dream and we really have the passion for it, we just need to keep aiming and go for it. It is our life and do not let others to indoctrinate it.

UP!

CAST: Edward Asner, Christopher Plummer, Jordan Nagai and Bob Peterson.

After watching this movie, there is only one thing that I want to say, this movie is so supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Up!, an American animation movie directed by Pete Docter is a total interest-captured movie I had ever watched.

In my point of view, I love the most the scene where Carl Fredricksen met his life partner, Ellie, when they were just so young and ended with a lovely marriage. They got the same idol and the same dream but Ellie only made it halfway since she got problem with her health and died. Though she could not even give Carl a baby, Carl never thought that it was a problem. He helped Ellie to grab back her lost cute smile and they planned to a have a better life. Can you imagine how lucky Ellie was for having that kind of hubby? This shows me that true love will never break apart till death come.

Despite of the romantic stuffs, another thing that wowed me so much is when Carl was so determined to move his house by using thousands of helium balloons and travelled to Paradise Fall; a place where his late wife wish to build their life there. It was so funny to see an old man that have to travel by his house with uninvited scout child, Russell. The journey was getting complicated mostly caused by that little boy.

In a nutshell, I can reward this movie with double thumbs up for the quirkiness. It was such a beautiful story that taught us a lot. Learn to love someone sincerely, help everyone and try to reach to the top of your dream.

Movie Review for ICE PRINCESS

 
  The movie shows how a high-school bookworm transforms into a very talented skater. Brainy Casey Carlyle has never quite fit in. Caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother, who wants her to get the scholarship of Physics in University of Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen--three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly competing on the US National circuit (and have attitudes to match). Casey has done the experiment on how Physics formula can be applied in skating for the scholarship. Then,she applied it by herself by skating.
  Then Casey gets the chance to train with Gen and her coach, a former talented skater (Gen's mother). She has made the decision that she must dash her own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver, Casey takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into the championship circuit.
  Casey's strong will in pursuing her dream has made her mother change her mind. She then become a big supporter to her daughter when she came to the competition to support her. Then,she win the competition and has become the true "ice princess".
  I can see that how a deep interest on something can change our life . We can get everything we want as long as we keep trying to achieved it.

Ice Princess

Cast: Joan Cusack, Kim Cattral, Michelle Trachtenberg, Heyden Penettiere

Ice Princess is a story about a 17 year-old physics geek, Casey Carlyle, who wanted to do a summer science project related to the connections of physics in Ice skating in order for her to gain a scholarship to Harvard. At first, she observed other skaters at her local ice skating rink but then she decided to try experiment her founding by improving her ice skating skills which made here realized about her passion for ice skating. This had led her change from a physics geek to an ice skater. With the help from Tina and her daughter, Gen, Casey managed to capture the spectators and the juries’ eyes in the sectional.  Although her mother, Joan, disagree with her decision for embracing this sport, her mother finally accept her choice and gave full support during her performance.

Ice Princess is a very good movie to watch especially for teenagers because of the messages and values that can be seen from this movie. It teaches us that if we have a dream, go for it. We can clearly see it from Casey. Casey, a physics geek, have a dream of becoming a professional ice skater and even though her mother was really against her idea, she still keep on trying to fulfil her dream. And yes, she finally fulfil it. From here, I learned that nobody can’t stop our dream except our own self. If we want to achieve our dream, we have to go for it. Do what we can do to achieve it. Make sacrifice because we can’t achieve something without sacrifice something. Although her relationship with her mother was kind of bad because of her decision, her mother finally approves it and here is another lesson that I think most parents and us should take note: Let their child do what they want and don’t force them to fulfil your unfulfilled dreams!

Overall, this movie is a very good and inspirational for all of us to watch and I would recommend anyone to watch this movie so that it will inspire them to do not stop following and fulfilling your dreams.

4/5 Stars!!

Up!

Up! Is a story about an old man, Carl Fredricksen, who set on a journey to Paradise Fall in order to fulfil his promise that he had made with his dead wife. He tied thousands of balloons to lift his house and off he went! But he didn’t realize that there was passenger with him. The unexpected passenger was a young scout boy name Russell and together they both embark a journey that change their life

The movie Up! is a very heart-warming movie.   We can clearly see it during the first part of the movie where it shows Carl and his wife’s (Ellie) relationship from when they are young till the end of Ellie’s life. I have to admit when I watched the first part of the movie, tears started to fill my eyes. It is sad and sweet, especially when Carl decided to keep that promise and making their life-long dream comes true. This story also tells us about the value of love. Love towards the elderly. Towards the young, the animals and the nature. The interaction between Carl and Russell is also important. We can see how Carl character develop. From cranky old man to a caring old man and Russell finally have someone, an adult, and a father figure to care for him. Not only that, this story also teaches us to value the nature. We have to protect the nature surrounding us. We can’t let them being endangered by greedy people like Charles F. Muntz, who in the movie acts as a villain and try to capture an almost-extinct bird.

Overall, this movie teaches us a lot of value and most of them are love. This movie is very good for all of us to watch it, especially children and the adults. Take the lesson to your heart because this movie will definitely make you realize about the people around you and also make you value them until the end.

4/5 stars~!!

Movie Review: Up [2009]

            Another wonderful 3D animated movie from Walt Disney. This movie represents the society in helping others in need or trouble. From the characters point of view, an old man named Carl (Edward Asner), a little scout boy named Russell (Jordan Nagai) and few of their animal companions embarks in a journey while coping up with heaps of obstacles ahead.

            Although it is just an animated movie, everyone from various ages can watch the movie as the movie contains both emotion and moral values. The viewers will not be dished with a common movie with a boring story line. The suspense, unexpected twist and the humour parts of the movie will give you the giggles and tingles.

However the couple’s (Ellie & Carl) story wasn’t emphasized much from the start of their meeting till they become old. Although the love story was short, it was  touching enough to drop some tears. The graphic was realistic and nice to give the viewers the gist of Paradise Fall, where most of the story occurred here. Overall, the movie won’t disappoint you especially for the ones who love to watch a family-oriented movie.

Movie Review : Up

 Grow old together

After I watched this movie, I found out that the close relationship between Carl and Ellie had touch my feeling. Despite of not having children, Carl and Ellie still stay together. Carl's loyalty is very inspiring. I really hope that my future husband will be as loyal as Carl. HAHA

Another thing that I learned from this movie is the kindness of Russell in helping the elderly. Russell insisted on helping Mr. Fredricksen even though Mr. Fredricksen kept on refusing Russell's help.

I felt excited and amazed by Mr. Fredricksen's determination in bringing his house to Paradise Fall. He tried very hard by tying his house onto thousands of floating balloons, with hope that those balloons can fly his house to Paradise fall. He did it! 

Last but not least, I would like comment that this movie is very inspiring, full of exciting adventures and good moral values.

movie review for up!

Name : siti hawa noor binti jamuddin . Matrik Number : 173361 .



   It was a dream shared by her childhood friend-turned-husband Carl, and in one of the most talked-about scenes from "Up," we see a wedding-day to funeral-day montage of a sweet and constant love between two adults who never lose the ability to dream. I don't know what's more poignant,her passing, her wishing him a new adventure rather than a life of mourning, or the fact that she had filled her adventure album with photos from their everyday life. It's touching, too, and reminiscent of "It's a Wonderful Life," that they had bought and fixed up the abandoned house they once used for their pretend adventures as children. "Up" is a mostly upbeat adventure, and a comic one that ought to appeal to the entire family.

      When Carl's house is surrounded by construction and he loses his temper after a mailbox he and Ellie painted together is struck by heavy machinery, he reflexively whacks a man over the head with his walker. The next thing you know he's in court, shades of Santa Claus in "Miracle on 31st Street," facing the charge of being a public menace. His sentence: Shady Oaks Retirement Village. But inspired by Ellie's dream of living in a house at the top of Paradise Falls and that change jar they kept throughout their lives for just that purpose, he devises a plan. Oh, the seeds had been planted in earlier montages, when we see the role that a balloon plays in his first finding Ellie, landing in the hospital, and having her communicate with him via balloon. And there's a balloon cart that an adult Carl has to keep pushing back down to earth as he sells them to kids. So why not strap a gazillion balloons to the house and let them pull him away from all of this? The scene where those thousands of real-looking balloons are released and break the house free from its moorings is a triumph of animation.

      Casting an old man as the hero in a cartoon adventure is positively inspired, who've been fascinated by old men since their very first short.  about an old man who wiles away the time by playing checkers with himself, "Up" has plenty of old-age humor, balanced by whimsy. Thankfully, though, a 78 year old isn't the only source of humor.Disney has done a lot of brilliant things, but conceiving of a logical reason for animals talking, rather than just making them talk, is a regular Einstein move. In South America, when Carl and Russell encounter the aged Muntz, they discover that the explorer has devised a collar with a device that enables dogs to talk.

"Up" is totally deserving of the praise it's received. The concept is fresh and original, the artwork and animation are incredible, the screenplay is packed with humor and adventure,time as a construction foreman. Collectively, their deliveries, their inflections, and their level of emotional engagement couldn't be better, and the animators really managed to capture every nuance of their speech in facial expressions and gestures. It's one of the things, frankly, that sets Disney animation apart from the rest.
