Case Study # 3

Among the ten (10) movies listed to be watched, I did only "The fifth element". So, I need to watch another to be compared of. I chose "The Island".

"The fifth element(1997)"

When I first heard the title which is "The fifth element", I find it an interesting movie which keeps me thinking the whole time as I'm watching the movie what's the fifth element. I can't figure it out until the end. This movie is a sci-fi adventure in which whom can see this will get a lesson. I'm amazed of how the technology brought into the lives of people. The story is extremely imaginative; the flying cars, the aliens, the spaceships which is very elegant. Very futuristic movie.A mixture of action, comedy by Chris Tucker, suspense and romance. For me, it is one of the best movie and I'm sure the director is very proud of his/her product. The visual effects are very excellent that its like a real boom. Mila Jovovich who played the role of the perfect being named Leeloo is a great actress. She played it perfectly for me. In general, I like the movie very much which gives me no boring scenes. I enjoyed watching it .

"The Island(2005)"

This movie gives me no idea of what is this really about. Though I have in mind an idea upon hearing the title for the first time but my idea doesn't coincide as I'm watching it. As I watch along the way, I still can't understand why that certain scene happened. I keep questioning myself. As the story near to its end, I kind of figuring it out and understand why that happened. The clones are told that the outer world is contaminated and that the only safe place left is "the island". The only way to get to the island is through random lotteries where the lucky winner is whisked away to their new paradise. One of the clones played by Ewan McGregor as Lincoln started to ask questions. And while wandering around, he discovered that they were being lied. So, upon discovering what it is all about, he started to escape with his closes friend named Jordan two delta played by Scarlett Johansson. Its a good movie for me. Another sample of high technology development. Of what a technology can do with the lives of people. The visual effects are realistic. The actor and actress greatly played their role. I like them being teamed up. They have chemistry. In general, the movie "The Island" is another great movie that can be proud of by its director.

Comparing the two movies, they have differences and similarities. In a similar way, both were in the advanced technology or high tech world which uses devices that are futuristic. They are different in the way that have different high tech devices. The common to both of them is the sense of technology advancement that can happen in the next generation.
