The Goonies- Cinematic


      The Goonies-Cinematic

            This 1985 adventure comedy is a movie that is well known for its cinematic aspect. This movie is directed by Richard Donner and written by Steven Spielberg. It stars Sean Astin as Mikey. Also Josh Brolin as Mikey’s Brother Brad, Jeff Cohen as Chunk, Corey Feldman as Mouth and, Jonathan Ke Quan as Data. Mikey, Chunk, Data, Mouth and the rest of the Goonies set out on an adventure that changes their lives. On this remarkable expedition to fine One Eyed Willy Mikey and the gang encounter many challenges and risks. They sounder on to find the loot of One Eyed Willy and escape the evil enemies also known as the Fertellies. This whole film has a great concept but the main factor to focus on is the cinematic effect.
            One aspect of the cinematic part of this movie is the camera work. The Cinematographer of this film was Nick McLean who did a splendid job on this film. The camera angles in this movie were magnificent. If a movie is shot from just one angle the movie would be excruciatingly boring. In The Goonies almost every angle was shot. For example when Chunk and Sloth had conversations the camera shot viewed them both together then each one of them separate. The close up shots in this film were very unique due to the fact that when the close up shot was shown the characters expression was addressed to the audience very well. Even though this movie is quite old the camera shots were magnificent.
        The lighting in this movie varied between the moods of the scenes. If the mood was suspenseful then the lighting made it look suspenseful and vise versa for the rest of the shots. For example when all the Goonies are hiding in the basement of the Fertelliess restaurant and they are listening in to the footsteps coming from upstairs then the lighting is portrayed as though something is going to happen. All the lighting in the movie brings out the feeling of the scene. Like when the Goonies are in the basement there is hardly any light, but when they are outside then it is very bright because they have escaped and they are very happy. When Mikey and Andy have their first kiss, the room is very light and all you can see is their shadows, this is yet another usage of light in this movie. Using lights counts as a cinematic effect because it is what makes the movie interesting.
        Camera work and lighting are one of the two major aspects of this film. These two things are what make the film intriguing and likable. The Goonies had many people working on light and camera, these people made a drastic change in this movie because they all contributed a lot to the cinematic compartment of this film. The cinematic effect of this film is what the viewers want to see. Lights, camera action, this is the slogan that suits The Goonies.

The lighting when The Goonies are underground. Very dark and suspenseful.

  1. An adequate response that could use some mechanical revision and better word/phrase choice. Also, the blue-on-white text makes this literally painful to read. Please choose a better font colour for future responses.

  2. movies365 - The acting, screenplay, and direction are all atrocious in this unwatchable and boring film. Spielberg's cliché-ridden story seems to be made up of leftover ideas from "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The script is amateurish and has no rhyme or reason. It's as if they made up the story as they went along. The kids are simply obnoxious; they talk non-stop and don't say anything interesting. This film is supposedly targeted at youngsters, but it has crude sexual "humor" (not the least bit funny) and tasteless violence directed at children. Rather than direct it himself, Spielberg brought in Donner, presumably to spread the blame, but the latter does nothing to save this sinking ship.
