Review of Death at a Funeral

My movie choice for this assignment is "Death at a Funeral". It is a comedy movie that was telling the story of a family who organized the funeral of their father. Aaron and his wife were not that rich so they live in their father house. Ryan was a successful writer but selfish who did not like to help financially for the expanses of the funeral of their father. For the funeral, many relatives were invited include Oscar who by mistake took a drug instead of a pill so he was embarrassing everybody in the funeral. The mayor characters in the film were Martin Lawrence as Ryan Barnes, Chris Rock as Aaron Barnes, Peter Dinklage as Frank Lovett, James Marsden as Oscar. Aaron organized the funeral of his father when his brother Ryan did not take a serious in the organization of the funeral when he comes there. It is like a funeral was an opportunity for the whole family to come see each other again. At the funeral, uninvited man Frank showed up and threatened Aaron and Ryan to give him a money or he would tell their mother about his relationship between him and their father. Aaron told Ryan to pay him but he refused to do it. Frank got mad and Ryan and Aaron tried to avoid the drama. Ryan and Aaron decided to put him in the coffin with their dad because Frank hit his head on a coffee table and lose conscience. Frank waked up in the coffin and got out and traumatized everybody in the funeral. The characters in the film were great and they played well their role. From the begging to the end of the movie, each character was well engage by presenting their role in the movie. Uncle Russell played the role of entertaining and kept the audience in the mood of laughing. In the film we can see how involving and unique each character was in his role in the movie. The lighting in the movie was great. The light in the movie reinforce the mood of the scene and create an effective visual image. Different camera angles were used in this movie to create and effective sense of visual balance between one shot and another. The camera angles created emotional attitudes in the film. For example when Aaron was delivered his message about his father at the end of the movie, I saw how the camera angle presented that emotional connection in the look of Aaron and other people.
