Exam Movie Review

Review of a Movie

1. MOVIE REVIEW EXAM SOUTHEAST UNIVERSITY Presenter Md. Rubaiet Ibn Raihan Department of Textile Engineering www.linkedin.com/in/rubaiet-raihan-a1a57a12a

2. Eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation. Entering a windowless room, an invigilator gives those eighty minutes to answer one simple question. He outlines three rules they must obey or be disqualified, first of all they should not talk to him or the armed guard by the door, should not spoil their papers and do not leave the room. He starts the clock and leaves. The candidates turn over their question papers and recognize that the paper is blank and simply it is a white paper. After the initial confusion has subsided, one frustrated candidate writes “I believe I deserve…” and is promptly ejected for spoiling the paper. Candidates soon figured out that this is not a piece of cake and they also figure out that they are permitted to talk to each other, and they agree to cooperate in order to figure out the question. At first they suspect the question may be hidden in their papers like a security marker in a credit card, and they figure out ways to change their environment to expose the hidden words. But light, liquids and other plans all come to naught. They tried every possible ways they can go through. Soon enough, the candidates begin to uncover each other’s background, prejudices and hidden agendas. Tensions rise as the clock steadily descends towards zero, and each candidate must decide how far they are willing to go to secure the ultimate job and at the end one of the candidate figured the question out. SYNOPSIS

3. Single-set movies are very hard to pull off, but Mr. Hazel dine's, which runs 100 minutes, does it surprisingly well, visually and verbally, making good use of every one of those minutes, ratcheting up the suspense inconsistent increments, while constantly subverting our expectations until he takes us to a place, coming out, that we would never have imagined going in.   And what he does with his ending is so much better than anything else I've seen in this genre (genres, really), that I can recommend the movie highly enough. So I choose the movie as a part of my assignment. REASON OF CHOOSING EXAM

5. ---The Invigilator (Colin Salmon) --- Blonde (Nathalie Cox) ---Deaf (John Lloyd Fillingham ) ---White (Luke Mably ) ---Brown ( Jimy Mistry ) ---Dark (Adar Beck) --- Brunett ( Polyana McIntosh) CHARACTERS

6. The movie shows that the CEO of the company is such a man who talks less and his character is very silent. The director could him in the room in such a way that he will confuse the candidates beyond tolerance level. But the CEO was only observing the candidates. So here there is no difference between the invigilator sitting outside the room and the CEO sitting inside the room. Expectation Unfulfilled

7. Leaving everything the movie is really thrilling. It creates tension, it is entertaining and it will definitely take the viewer to a different level of thinking. EXAM attracts viewers attention to an extreme extent. In one sentence I bet the viewer will remain confused for 101 minutes from his/her entire life. Conclusion
