🔴 🎞️ **In The Heart Of The Sea**
Earlier today, I watched '_In The Heart Of The Sea_' which was directed and co-produced by Ron Howard. The film was recommended by an acquaintance as one of his personal favourites. Having now watched the film, I can see why it was considered one of the leading cinematic flops of 2015.
I am not a film buff nor a cinema critic; however, I did not find it captivating. I believe CGI may have been used in it's production, which from a personal perspective, I find irritating. Although CGI has progressed greatly in recent years, I do not think it is good enough yet to represent reality in a film production. Furthermore, I do not think that CGI can add anything to storytelling in a film that cannot be added by other means; sometimes, CGI is used to cover up lack of talent in other areas such as acting or direction.
Another irritating aspect of the film was how the camera kept jumping from shot to shot. I assume this was done to portray excitement and as a show of a fast-paced story. It had the opposite effect upon me, as I found it difficult to keep up with what was being said and the constant changing of camera shot left me bemused.
Do you have any favourite recommendations of films set in the past?
