1) Снять приключенческий фильм оказалось не так уж легко! Мало просто написать хороший и захватывающий сценарий, нужно еще очень удачно выбрать актеров на главную роль, и подобрать место съемки. 2) Анимация – это трудоемкий процесс, который в настоящее время стремится к упрощению визуальных элементов. Но многие художник до сих пор не могут отказаться от покадровой прорисовки. 3) После прочтения романа я решил посмотреть снятый по нему фильм. Какое разочарование! Они превратили тяжелую драму в триллер, да еще и с кучей ненужных спецэффектов. Конечно, на выходе они получили отличные сборы, но какой ценой. 4) Этот режиссер известен за свою способность взять персонажа и сделать его Персонажем, с большой буквы этого слова. Некоторые даже зовут его «режиссер идеалистических удовольствий». 5) Я терпеть не могу мюзиклы. Все это пение, мне кажется, требовать от актеров помимо актерского мастерства еще и отличных вокальных данных – просто слишком. Хотя если бы фильм в таком жанре снял бы мой любимый режиссер я бы сходил на него в кино. 6) Во многом трилогия «Звездные войны» – уникальная вещь. Это один из первых фильмов, где камера движется по всему звездному небу. 7) Снять хорошую комедию – дело не из легких. Ведь сценарий должен предусматривать развитие персонажей и сюжета, но и не забывать о большом количестве смешных шуток, а для создания качественного продукта в таком жанре сценаристу придется долго работать над ним. Самое печальное, даже если в итоге получится хит, и его будут переводить на другие языки, озвучка убьет весь юмор и все шутки, так талантливо придуманные сценаристом.
