[.ca] An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

an occurence at owl creek bridge review:
I am a high school review and yesterday was the first time i saw "an occurence at owl creek bridge". I really disliked this movie because it lacked any excitement in my opinion. The one part of this movie that excited me was the end of the movie. In a way I do beleive that the director did give clues to the ending due to all the unrealistic things that happened to the man. There is very little dialogue in this movies and i think that is something that contributed to making this such a movie. In the movie the only type of music was an old, boring type of singing which added to making this one of the worst movies i have ever seen.

a faithful interpretation to the story:
People who dislike the movie, dont understand its meaning. They lack the ability to observe the meaning behind the "old" musical choices which then wasnt so old, considering the age of the film itself. They also lack the ability to appreciate the importance of the little dialogue used. It was done this way to emphasize the few words that were spoken so that the viewer would understand deeper into Peynton's character. Great short film, definately a classic.

Another Generation:
I am a high school English teacher but I also remember watching this movie as a freshman MANY years ago. I always make it a point to share the movie with my students, taking the time to watch parts of it twice so that they can see how cleverly the "clues" are hidden. My students grumble and complain about the fact that they have to think to discover thet truth, but they always appreciate the story. But be prepared if you share the movie with others--they often want you to tell them what is happening instead of waiting to think it out on their own.

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge:
This short film was not real interesting to me because it had very little dialogue. The surprise ending was not real good. The director did give a few clues away for the ending. I think the film could have used more dialogue. The film needed more speaking and less music. I would not recommend anyone to get this video. I would recommend someone to make the film better.

An Awesome French Film:
In my opinion, the short film, "An occurence at Owl Creek Bridge", was one of the best movies I have ever seen. I admired the filming style and the unique way the director put everything together. The surprise ending was brilliant, and if you look for clues, you may be able to tell the movie is going to take a twist. The silence of the movie added to the film's unique presence, and adds to what is going on in the prisoner's mind. The small amount of music used was just enough to key you in to the prisoner's emotions and feelings from scene to scene. I highly recommend this superb adaptation of Ambrose Bierce's story.
