Coraline Review


Coraline Review
In the movie Coraline directed by Henry Selick is a mysterious, eye opening film with adventurous scenes you could never image right in front of your eyes. Henry has a lot of experience with these kinds of films for example “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “James and the Giant Peach”. All very popular movies, Coraline is just bound to come out just as popular and interesting as previous films. Coraline relates to all of these movies threw the creativity and the wacky scenes that the characters provoke throughout the story. Coraline leaves you on your toes for the whole movie leaving you wanting more information about the story line.


While watching the movie Coraline I was always enthused and a little frightened by the interesting yet creepy other mother and father in the other world that Coraline enters from her formal world. Coraline learns from her experiences from the other world that she needs to appreciate what she has in life even though everything is not perfect. What really caught my eye was the amazing effects shown in the other world and how much different they made it than Coraline’s real world. They made everything so much brighter and happier and gave the garden a unique look, which was Coraline’s face which I thought was very creative of the producers to think of.


All in all, in the movie Coraline, it was a mysterious, fun, and creepy children’s film that is good for the whole family. The best part of the whole movie for me was when she finally started to notice that something was wrong with her so-called “PERFECT” world and she had to figure out how to make everything back to normal and close to portal to other world for good. What Coraline did was find out her strengths with the other mother because the other mother was using Coraline’s weakness’s to try and convince her to stay, that’s when Coraline began to play her game also. The other mother loved to play games. Coraline finally realized once everything was back to normal that she didn’t need a perfect life all she needed was everything back to the way things were. Coraline also realized that her family may not be perfect but they were just what she needed in her life and nothing else to keep her happy and she didn’t need buttons to see the perfect life because it was already right infront of her the whole time. Don't just take it from my point of view, enjoy it for yourself.

    Theres a good amount of background info on the director and movie. Could have used more info about stop motion films though. The pictures gave a good visual for readers. There could have been more summarization about the plot and such but it wasnt bad. There was a good amount of opinions and it flowed.

    You don't have any links. The pics you chose look great though. There is a lot opinion in the last paragraph. There is barely any background. You also need to go more in depth with what happened.

    I really enjoyed reading your review as it was clear and not confusing at all. There were some spots where you mixed up words but thats an easy fix. It followed the format very well. There wasn't that much background information though. i also really like your pictures. they helped give me a mental picture of what happened in the movie

    You didn't include much about the about the filming aspects at all. There were a lot of grammer/spelling mistakes throughout the whole thing. Also you did not follow the format that was given to the class. Your opinion is nicely laced through your paragraphs. You are also missing all of your links. But your pictures depict the other mother at her worst, which is a plus.
