– Composition of reviews: Let’s make a compelling argument to become a ‘film review,’ a form of art that goes beyond just the summary of the plot. Does the movie reflect the current issue of events or accidents? The film may hide the director’s intention to create a wider dialogue on the subject. Let’s find a way to relate the content of the movie to the real world. Does the movie contain a message?Or does it seem to elicit a particular response or emotion from the audience? Then let’s comment on whether the movie has achieved its goal or not. Is the movie personally related to me? Let’s get interested in readers by dealing with my inner feelings or putting personal stories together in reviews.- Develop the thesis with a brief summary of the plot. Let’s write down information about the main characters, explanations of the movie’s setting, or central conflicts, and the core content of the movie. However, it provides too much information to keep the readers from steaming before watching the movie. It is the most important rule of movie reviews. When describing the characters in the plot summary, list the real names of the actors in parentheses. Let’s write down the director’s name, movie title, and title. If you have to mention something that could be a spoiler,Let’s warn them in advance.-Analyzing movies: Rather than using a lot of professional production terms, use easy and clear words. Use a variety of examples to support key opinions.
