Gravity is a film produced by Alfonso Cuaron and main character acted by Sandra Bullock. This film touches me a lot. It is nothing similar as other science fiction film, the producer focus on depicts the real and actual humanity emotion, allowing the audience to have the same feeling facing by character. Another thing to be mentioned is that, the first 1:37min of the film (refer to the Youtube clip underneath) is a one take shot (or called “long take”) which is a representative technique of the producer Alfonso Cuaron. We can also discover there are many more scenes from the film apply the long take technique. Such technique not only enhances the compact, it also let the audience to experience the tension feeling when you are alone in the space.

Iron Man is a combination of high action, sci-fi and adventure movies. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Shaun Toub and Gwyneth Paltrow. The whole movie had created the responsibility, wisdom and sense of power of salvation hero image. It was also an American superhero film in 2008 and the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic.The hero overcome the difficulties and prevent the evil plot. Although the plot is relatively simple, but it is easy to understand. This movie using  variety of special effects to make the fantastic sense.

Therefore, the interesting movie should have the proviso that at least the plot story that you can be simple or complex. Some complex story make people found inconsistent, illogical."Iron Man" is the case that with a simple story, all viewers can be caught there eyes.
