Half Nelson an American Drama Film
Half Nelson an American drama film was released in 2006. The director Ryan Gosling did a great job at portraying an inner city high school teacher, Dan with a serious drug problem who forms a friendship with one of his students Drey. When I read the article I couldnt visualize the characters so after watching the movie I had much better understanding and could put it all together.
I felt that the shooting wasnt done by a professional cameraman. The shots were too close up and came across as unprofessional. It made me feel that I was so involved that I could hear every breath Dan was taking and I felt as it I was right there in that movie. It felt as if someone took a camcorder and went to an inner city to record everything that was happening. The cameraman was constantly zooming onto the person very closely and it was making me feel very tense throughout the whole movie as I felt I was there and everything was really happening. It was
