Ladies and Gentleman - DANNY BOYLE
Born On: October 20, 1956
Born In: Radcliffe, Lancashire, England
Nationality: British
The reason I picked Danny Boyle was mainly on the grounds that I loved 127 Hours. I'm not much of a movie watcher, but this movie was one of the best I had seen in a long time. After watching other films of his I found that he had a style I enjoyed. I love that the story keeps moving, and I also really like his use of colour and interesting, out of the ordinary camera shots.
I have decided to review 127 Hours, because it was highly acclaimed and I enjoyed it a lot. I also will do Slumdog Millionaire, because it is one of his most highly acclaimed movies. I am going to review Millions as my third film, because I found many of the film techniques used were similar to the other two I am am doing, and I really enjoyed it
