Presentation script

 

Video to start presentation: Kate and Leo - She's everything to me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJVwVWCaVN4)

Presenter:  For my project I am doing the relationship between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio and how they partnership is so special, on-screen and off-screen.  I am also looking at their performances together on the 2 films they have been with together, and then 2 films that Winslet and DiCaprio have been separately. 

Presenter:  In this presentation I will cover (display them as bullet points on P.P )

• Explain that Revolutionary Road
• Mention the other three films I will be looking at (Titanic/Inception/The Holiday)
• Talk about G.G and T.H as they are the two films that Winslet and DiCaprio star in separately

Quotes Kate and Leo have said:  "laugh at the same things...she never lets me take myself seriously, even if I wanted to.  We have a special magic". LEO
 "We needed each other to lean on because we were very young and working all kinds of crazy bloody hours, and it was a shock to the system" KATE

Mal's suicide

Presenter:  I think that the performance in this scene is really good because you can see the pain in Leo/Dom's eyes when his wife is about to commit suicide.  This is a very sad scene to watch

Titanic clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDPeL8lpzo

Presenter: I really like this scene because I think it is very calm and romantic - this is when Rose and Jack start to fall in love.  The scene starts off with Jack looking out at sea and then Rose calls Jack looks at Rose in amaze and they way DiCaprio showed the audience that Jack was in love with Rose was his eye-contact and facial expressions.  The next clip I am going to show you is an re-enactment of the "I'm flying" scene but Leo is with Jonah Hill.

Review on Inception

Hi guys!! On 26th December I watched Inception.  So I thought I would write a review on what I thought about it.

At first, I found the begging quite hard to follow which made it really confusing and difficult to watch.   I think after half an hour or so into the film I started to enjoy it and understand it a lot more.  I thought the idea of dreaming and reality was a very good idea.  The visual effects in this film was very good because it made the storyline really realistic which was very clever.

My favourite scene from the film was when Dom (DiCaprio) saw his wife (Marion Cotillard) commit suicide.  I know that this scene is very upsetting because it is the moment Dom loses his wife, but I feel that the performances in this are really good.  DiCaprio's performance in this clip is really good because he uses all sort of hand gestures in this scene and also by the way he is speaking it is very convincing.  Cotillard performed also really well because she has to pretend that she is crazy and is about to commit suicide because she still thinks that she is in a dream not reality. She feels that the only way to 'wake up' from her dream was get a 'kick' (used to wake up the person dreaming suddenly).   At the start of the clip you see Dom stepping into the hotel room looking for his wife, which he then finds out is outside about to jump off the opposite building.  Dom does a lot of persuading to do, this is shown by stern words and eye-contact, towards his wife but it still doesn't convince Mal that she is in reality.
