The Dictators

Paragraph 1: Offer your overall impression of the film while mentioning the movie’s title, director and key actors.

My overall opinion of  The Dictator (2012) was a mildly inappropriate humorous film. Sascha Baron Cohen and Anna Faris star in the film. The outrageous comedy plays on wildly unreal government set up but nothing unreal for a Sascha Baron Cohen film.  It not something I would pay to watch but what can you do when it a Red Box movie and friends. 

Paragraph 2: Summarize the plot of the film. 

The Dictators begins with a Republic of Wadiya became in the state that it is currently in. The Dictator, Aladeen is extremely wealth and crazy ruler. If his people do not appease him then he will have you killed type ruler. Aladeen has to make a trip to the U.N for address his country nuclear weapons issues. Aladeen advisor makes a plan to have Aladeen assigned and hires a double that he will use a puppet once the treaty is signed. The advisor plans go awry when Aladeen is still living and planning to regain his title back. It is made difficult to regain his status because he lost his bread. 

Paragraph 3: How did the actors portray key character roles? Did they fulfill your expectations?

Baron Cohen portrays Aladeen is his typical fashion as an outrageous and inappropriate standard character. He is overly sexual and outlandish as he is in the rest of his movie. He reminds be if Will Ferrel because his character is always the same.    

Paragraph 4: Were any particular film techniques used in key scenes? How did the film techniques and music enhance the setting and themes of the film?

The film to me did not have anything special film techniques but music was used to escalated emotions during the scenes.  

Paragraph 5: Offer a decisive factor that tells the reader to attend the film or not.

It is a situational film. If you want a good laugh and do not want to think about the characters then it is a decent film. Like I said I would not pay to see it but Red Box yes.
