Kingsman and Moonlight comaprison


Kingsman(2014) shows the journey of a young man from a working class family transform into a sophisticated man of power. Similarly, the 2016 movie, Moonlight shows us Chirons journey through life. Both movies have similar characteristics, one being both male leads come from broken families. It could be said they faced the challenges they did because of the fact they had no real father figure in their lives. Although Chiron had Juan and Eggsy had Harry they both died leaving them to face their obstacles by themselves.
Masculinity plays a big part in both movies, Eggsy and Chiron both have quite big transformations before their seen as "masculine" and taken seriously. Eggsy changes up his style into a more formal attire of a suit and tie whilst Chiron is seen to have bulked up quite a lot from his younger years. This representation of masculinity sticks to the basic stereotypes of the qualities associated with the word. We can see form Eggsys behaviour at the start that he's quite comfortable with his masculinity before he changed whereas Chrion was very reserved due to the bullying he recieved because of his sexuality.
Use of camera angles and shots in Kingsman sticks to those of a general action, comedy, movie with the fast paced shots and zooming to capture the major action scenes. Moonlights camera angles are quite close up making it more personal and as if we are experiencing Chirons life with him. 

Kingsman: 7 wins and 26 nominations
Moonlight: 215 wins and 259 nominations

Estimated Budget:
Kingsman- $81,000,000
Moonlight $1,500,000
 Kingsman; 15 filming locations
Moonlight: 5 filming locations

Kingsman had probably aimed for a very wide audience of Comedy and action fans, and perhaps Colin Firth fans while Moonlights targeted audience may have been

weekly news

 weekly news.


Following on from my last weekly news about the famine in Somalia and the hashtag that was spread to raise money to fill the plane that would be sent to somalia, the people who created it have reported that 60 tones of food was able to be brought with the money that was raised. After 50,000 people particpated and over £1,500000 was raised, over ten planes were able to be filled and instead of just food, a long term solution for sustaining water supplies is being organsied. There will also be a documentary created where we will see the whole journey and see the good that the money raised is doing. I think its really amazing what good social media can actually do sometimes, without it I don't believe that they could have raised as much money at all. Its also good that we will be able to see what the money is actually going towards and if its making a difference. Its nice to see that people on social media with a large following are using it for good. Compared to some charities, i feel as if its much easier for people to trust these online influencers as if they've been following them for a long time they may feel as if they've grown to know them. Also when they keep everyone updated its easier to see whats actually happening whereas i don't think some charities show people the end result of the chairities work.
