Question 6: Favourite Actor

Tom Hanks

Sometimes you find those multi-talented actors that just seem to be amazing at everything and can master any type of role the director puts them in (subject to opinion). Tom Hanks just seems to be one of them. Just to name a few he has played "Woody" in The Toy Story, "Forest Gump" in Forest Gump, "Chuck Nolan" in Cast Away. There are multiple reasons as to why he is my all time favourite actor, and the main reason is due to the fact that he is able to make me emotionally attached, to whoever he is trying to portray in the film.


My favourite film that I have ever seen him in, is Sleepless In Seattle, staring Hanks himself, along with Meg Ryan. The reason why I really like him in this film is because he is playing a fatherly figure which he rarely plays in the majority if his films. His acting is also really convincing in this film and is certain to pull a few heart strings.

My favourite scene that Tom hanks is in, that is able to make my heart melt, is where he looses "Wilson" in Castaway.  The excellent role played by Hanks is a breathe taking moment and is able to convey a sense of desperation to the audience. The key line "Wilson, I'm sorry" always resonates with me because Hanks' character is loosing everything he had. By being able to create this empathy from the audience whilst just loosing a ball, shows that Hanks is an outstanding actor.

Question 9. Which Person, Real Or Fictional, Dead Or Alive, Would You Most To Meet?

Heath Ledger  Part of me wishes that i was older and that I could actually remember one of the greatest actors on the earth, but sadly I do not. Looking back I try and watches many videos and documents on Ledger. Theres no real reason as to why I do it, I think he was fantastic and insanely good looking. I would most like to meet him, because I just think he would have been such an imaginative, fun person and a joy to be with. The ideal circumstance, to hang out with him, i think would be over a meal. I would love to go to somewhere like Nandos ... or maybe somewhere more upscale, The Ritz? I would bet a lot of money, that he would be one of the funniest people. Setting a few questions before i went out with him would be ideal; "what was your favourite film to star in?" and personal questions that no one else would know the answers to. I think if i did actually get the chance to hang out with him, i would say something really silly and he would laugh... but not la...

Question 12. Favourite Music Video?

Sign Of The Times Harry Styles and his team created an amazing video for his debut single, Sign Of The Times and i think its really refreshing music video. The reason being it shows a music video from a different angle, and you can see the care and precision it took to make it.  I looked closer at how it was made, for part of it a stunt double had to take Styles' place and they had to make a mask from his face. This was to make it look seamless and that someone else wasn't taking his place.  Despite the fact that the video is not very action packed its still really interesting and I think that it needed to be calm and scenic or it would distract the audience from the song. The scenery is beautiful and picturesque which fits with the mood of the song.

Question 4: Which Website/News Feed Do You Get Your News From?

Image
Instagram  Catching up with the news, has never really been something that i was into, I'm the kind of person that hears whats happening through the grape vine. I wouldn't go out of my way to get the Daily Mail or the newest release of the OK magazine i just wait until the news goes down the line and gets to me.  However i do keep myself very updated with Instagram, i like to check it at least 5 times a day, which is so bad I know. But its just one of those things you just tend to do, when boredom strikes. I have to admit, its not the most reliable source and fake news is a common occurrence, but the sort of news i like to hear about is right at my doorstep.  The sort of news i like to get from my "news source" isn't the type of news that Fiona Bruce would be  talking about behind her table, normally its just the day to day stuff that i get informed with. For example; where Harry Styles went on holiday or if so-and-so are still dating.  ...
