Interview with Bradley Cooper 

This is an interview with Bradley Cooper and it has been shown below verbally where there interviewer asks a questions and after Bradley Cooper answers. 

The interview is an extract from http://www.indielondon.co.uk/Film-Review/limitless-bradley-cooper-interview and all credits go to them 



Q. Unlocked potential is an endlessly fascinating subject, so would take the pill that could allow you to access 100% of your brain and what appealed to you about the role?
Bradley Cooper: 

"I would take it. As for the appeal, Leslie Dixon wrote an incredible script that was just sexy, cool and it moved like a house on fire. It was based on a novel that an Irishman named Alan Glynn wrote in 2001, previously called The Dark Fields. But Leslie just wrote this story that it was hard to pinpoint what genre it was. It had a great concept, which was what would happen if you took a pill that could unlock your complete potential? It’s just a great hook… if you could change the neural pathways in your brain so that you could recall everything you’ve ever heard, taste, smelled or touched, basically from the womb on, and use it at your disposal, that’s an interesting concept."   



Q. How faithful is it to the book?Bradley Cooper: "It’s very faithful to the character. In fact, I found it to be an invaluable source material. It’s written in the first person, so it’s basically Eddie’s journal you’re reading. It’s a journal that he’s writing in a motel in Vermont, at the end of his life. But things don’t go as well for Eddie Spinola [as he is] in the book as they do for Eddie Morra [the film character’s name]. So, it’s a completely different trajectory. And Lindy, the character that Abbie Cornish plays, is actually Carl Van Loon’s daughter in the book, which changes everything. There’s also no ice skating rink scene in the book, which is my favourite scene, and no blood drinking, which I love. The hope is that it would invoke a reaction of: “Oh my God, is he really going to do it? I hope he does because I want him to survive, but I can’t believe…”  



Q. Do you think the film serves as a comment on drug dependency?
Bradley Cooper: It uses this idea of taking a pill as a way to drive the narrative. It’s the hook by which we tell a story about power. But because that is the hook, that is the subject matter, it hopefully will, like any piece of art, provoke discussion. There Will Be Blood, for instance, is an entertaining movie about this guy’s greed, but it’s also about what happened agriculturally to California, it’s also about zoning rights and property and fatherhood. You know what I mean? So, this movie is a fun ride and it’s about power and the abuse of power, what you do with it. But it’s also about drug addiction, politics, the political structure, the investment world… 


Q. You have an executive producer credit on Limitless, is that a sign of doing more in the future for you?Bradley Cooper: I hope to, I really do. It was a nice gesture for Relativity to give me that credit. I don’t really think like an actor, I really do think in the way of the whole film, so any part that I could play collaboratively, outside of just me in the role, I love.

Harry Potter, Mission Impossible and Thor 

Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part2
Critique review by Adam R.Holz


"Harry Potter. The boy who lived, come to die." Those chilling words from Lord Voldemort bear the truth of the eighth and final installment in the Harry Potter franchise. But they also hint at a lie. "



Thor
Critique review by S.Jhoanna Robledo 
"Armed with lessons about international politics and diplomacy, this is an entertaining, surprisingly astute film defined by top-shelf special effects and a compelling, if crowded, storyline."


Mission impossible ghost protocol- 

Critique review by Empire

"Still not an essential series like Bourne or Bond, but this entry has a refreshingly light touch and some of the best action of 2011. See it at an IMAX for optimal vertigo-inducing effect."








                                                                            

Purpose of my magazine article

Introduction

My magazine article is mainly focused on film actors who are portrayed as very cool or intelligent.The intelligence can be clearly observed  when the cover page of my magazine is entirely focused on the movie 'Limitless';where the movie is about a person called  Eddie Morra( Bradley cooper)who takes a pill and instantaneously gains the ability to unlock his subconscious mind and therefore showoff his incredible skills simultaneously.Before taking the pill, his life was miserable and his transformation after can really create an inspiration, especially on the younger generation as he fluctuates into a living genius.The motivation in the film has an incredible affect on youths making them realize that failure really isn't the end and I believe that this magazine can attract the teens instantly, as some teens are placed in a relatable situation in comparison to the movie.In addition. the magazine also includes bloopers of the film, interview with Bradley Cooper and most importantly a completely opposite movie to Limitless - ' Hangover Part3', where Bradley Cooper once again portrays his incredible acting ability.This magazines' focus is not just concentrated at Bradley Cooper role in movies but also other action movies like Thor ,Harry Potter,Mission Impossible and Thor which where also released around the same year.Leading to the point, the main goal of this magazine is show off skills of actors who are thought to have extraordinary skills, such as Thor being shown as a godly character or Harry Potters' bravery in the Deathly Hallows; and I hope these movies can boost motivation and make teens realize that even fictional characters can be taken as real life role models and one day make the movie characters a reality.

Commercial Radio

Commercial radio ( also referred to as radio spots or advertising jingles) is a radio station which gains profit through advertisement. Companies use this strategy as they consider that commercials are a good medium to send their message across to customers. The main goal is to  focus on a particular age group and this can be exemplified by companies broadcasting the type of music the current generation of youths listen to. We can link this to the past where in 1477 William Caxton printed out which could be described as Britain's first advert , for a book called The Pyes of Salisbury. This simultaneously emerged alongside  trading through a simple a strategy of displaying his new book. You can find commercial radio in application which can be downloaded to your smartphone  or can be listened through the use of FM radios ; leading to the most popular BBC radio.  The quote by Peggy Noonan states that; "TV gives everyone an image , but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains".

In conclusion , commercial radios is prominent as it spreads the news in a constituency  and it used in an everyday situation such as in a car where you get informed about everything happening in the world.
