Liza Johnson
I thought that this movie did a fantastic job of drawing me into the world. I really feel that much of the dialogue and interesting aspects of the casting choices made it clear to me of the direction of the movie, and of the storyline itself. I really feel that I was connected to this production. I enjoyed it very much because it presented a strong idea of the story line, and the characters were very clearly formed. I really enjoyed this production. It spoke to me, and I really felt like I belonged in this world with the characters that I saw before me.
I think that the way that the characters presented their own individual characteristic was very creative. The actors were able to take the lines that had already been written and turn them into moments which created full blown characters worthy of respect and admiration. The characters were among the most creative aspects of the movie itself. The actors had an amazing ability to conduct the business of the movie and go about the lives of their characters, while at the same time staying true to themselves.
I also feel that the set itself was very creative. The lay out of the set pieces did actually leave a lot to the imagination, and one was able to picture the world outside of the movie. The interior of the set highlighted the actors’ performance and made it clear to the audience what the style of the movie was. The elements of the set design allowed the world of Eliza to come through in all parts of the movie.
Another creative aspect of the movie was the use of language. It is understood that the accents are an important part of the movie, but the actors in this particular movie use the language so much to their advantage. The audience, who in most areas of the world have no background knowledge of the style of the time, was still enthralled by the language use in this movie.
The actors in this movie worked very well together as an ensemble. The main characters of Henry and Eliza capture the completeness and complexities of a romantic relationship as they offer a wonderful portrayal of the duo. I really feel that the group had a great rapport, as the entire ensemble worked together to create an interesting AND moving movie. Each of the actors works as a single unit, along with each other actor, to create a tight and uplifting ensemble of actors. The actors were very in touch with each other. You could tell, by the emotions they expressed and by the actors body languages, that they were working together as a team. Often times, actors would express ideas simply with a look or a sign, instead of even lines.
I feel that the actors had a really good sense of expressing emotion through their body language. Each of them had facial and body expressions that clearly depicted their character and their emotions. There was a lot of expressions in between the characters with their facial expressions and their eye to eye meetings.
Each actor came across as very believable and very different from each other. Each character was clearly depicted by the actors who portrayed them. Each actor had a distinct way of speaking as their character and each actor was able to present their ideas in completely different ways. The character of Eliza was very distinct, and the voices and accents that she used really helped to portray her character. All of the characters were very well drawn.
I feel that the best aspect of the production was the way that the actors worked together as a group. They really had a great rapport, which I feel made the production something that is very interesting to watch. The group worked very well together and this made the production very interesting. I feel that the best directorial choice was to have the ensemble work together and create a very tightly woven cast that was really able to tell a story to the audience by working together as a team.
