After Innocence Film Review Comparison
In the film review of After Innocence by Frederik and Mary Ann Brussat there are many similarities and differences to my personal film review of the 2005 documentary After Innocence directed by Jessica Sanders. Brussats’ film review begins with the Brussats placing the reader in an imaginary scenario. This puts the reader of the review in line with the mood of the film. While the Brussats’ film review does give a summary of the film, it does also include a lot of personal biases. The review does this by focusing on the scenes from the film that most impacted them when watching the film and by placing a great deal of importance on the Innocence Project. When compared to my film review of After Innocence, both reviews give an overview of the film. However, my review follows the events in the scene chronologically and from a more neutral standpoint. For this reason, I would say that both reviews accurately summarize the film, the Brussat’s review gives an overview of the film with intent to touch the reader, while my review gives a strict summary of the film with intent to inform the reader.
Good job. No doubt, we perhaps enjoy reading those reviews that do the more personal stuff. We may enjoy writing them, too. But it's important to get skill at simply laying down objectively what a text does. Later, we build in analysis. Good job, JP!
