1. Casting; Do the actors suit the roles that they were cast in? Are they believable as part of the reality they are in?
a. Jack Black as Jerry Gerber
b. Mos Def as Mike
c. Danny Glover as Elroy Fletcher
a. Jack Black suits the role very much. Jerry is a type of person who takes a lot of idiotic risks that leads him to cause trouble. He destroys everything around him but somehow has ingenious ideas that lead to the town reuniting as one. He was believable in the reality he was in but he seemed to be in his own little world.
b. Most Def suits his voice very well because he seemed like the type of person who looked at the realistic side of life. He seemed a bit slow with the way he talked and didn't seem to be the type of person that was very smart. He was the type of person to be a sidekick rather then a leader which suited his role because the movie mainly focused on Jack Black. He seemed to be a believable that he was someone who lived in the past because of the way he spoke and acted.
c. Danny Glover was believable as the shop owner. The vibe he gave off made it believable that he was someone who lived in the past. The way he saw DVDs made it seem that he was amazed by it. He seemed to have no idea on the newer technology out there and seemed to be someone living with older forms of technology. It made it believable in the reality that they were in.
2.How does technology impact the community at the beginning of the film? At the end of this film?
It didn't have a huge impact on the community and they always wanted to have more advance technology and didn't appreciate what they already had. The community wasn't advance in their technology, using VHS and tapes to watch their films. The environment of the whole town looked like it was old and run down. Everyone lived their own lives and technology wasn't anything they cared for much. Towards the end of the film, technology was the key factor that brought everyone together as one. It had a greater impact than it did at the beginning. It gives a message that can relate to life. In life, technology is what brings us all together. Without it, we wouldn't be able to communicate to each other as well as we do now. It's a great way of communication and a way to get informed. Films help people learn lessons on life and that's what the film did to the community.
