Naked

For this week my film of choice was the movie Naked, this movie is based around a man who relives his wedding day over and over and over again after waking up naked in an elevator. The director Michael Tiddes did a great job of keeping the movie playful and intriguing even through repeating the same day over. Everyday there was another aspect that kept it funny and you were waiting for the next. He did a great job of editing in this movie, if he would have just played the whole day over it would have became boring. Instead he kept the first day at full length and including all details then from there he could take out parts and skip to the part of the day that made it different. Naturally as a watcher you noticed what in the day had happened but wasn't shown because you had seen it before. This was a very important aspect of the movie since most of the movie involved the new days.

Another strong part of this movie was the cinematic language; the same characters were there throughout the movie which really helped develop them even if they played the smallest role. For most viewers they could connect to the main character whom keeps waking up or to the wife waiting for him to come, but if the watcher did not connect to these characters the rest became strong enough characters to connect them to the movie. Continuing this thought the movie was a romantic comedy, they did a great job of balancing these two things which also helps connect to diverse audience. Most people have a favorite genre and both of those are very popular ones along with the fact that most people will like one or the other. I personally really love comedies and I absolutely love movies that can be funny and also have that romantic twist. A lot of romantic comedies focus on the romance first so it was really nice that this show really began as a comedy then near the end it had a very romantic and sweet ending. Along with this thought they also kept the audience intrigued by the mystery and constant wonder of how he got in the elevator naked, throughout the movie you would think it was one character until they showed you that it was not. This factor really kept me a lot more interested because I always want to discover who the culprit is. You are always guessing because you are talking about what happened the night before at a bachelor party and the possibilities are limitless, it keeps you wondering which character had it out for him or was it his own doing? I guess you would have to watch it to find out the truth.   


Overall I believe this is a great movie that I really enjoyed watching and recommend for about anyone for a good laugh and heartwarming experience with maybe a little mystery in the mix.
