What Makes A Great Film

I feel that aspects that truly contribute to the overall success of a movie are the the emotional connections to the characters, costume design, and special/digital effects. An example of an endearing emotional connection toward a film's characters is displayed in The Titanic with the development of Jack and Rose's relationship, such as during the festive dance in the belly of the ship and Jack's sacrifice. As for costume designs, Pirates of the Caribbean utilizes 18th century apparel to further bring the audience into the actual story and make them feel as if they are watching recaps from the actual time period, such as the scene where Jack Sparrow is being prepared to be hanged. Transformers uses digital animation and special effects in the creation of many of it's characters and the action sequences in an authentic looking manor, and the realism in the way the Autobots mechanically transform, such as when Bumblebee first transforms to protects Sam from the hostile Decepticons. Overall, these aspects shown in these array of movies help to capture the audience's attention by appealing their senses and emotions.
