Ralph film review

Ralph is a dramatic romance, set in Paris in 2010, where the main character goes looking to find a number for a hotel. The focus on phone calls as majority of the lines happens around phone booths.
A theme of this is romance or love this is clear through all the film happening in France which is known for its romance and passion when it comes to love. This is one of the major parts of the film as it is also the motivation for the main character.


The protagonist is named Ralph a boy from southern England, who was most likely brought up on an estate which would explain a “street clothes” look but he is well mannered and is a patient but is also brave as he can travel with no friends just for looking for something. He is travelling alone is also not the best choice as him travelling to France yet he cannot speak a word of French so this means he had only planned up to a point. I see Ralph as a Brit abroad where he knows roughly to expect and doesn't want to cause trouble but somehow he not wanting to cause trouble, causes trouble.


In this film there is no clear antagonist in this short film but something that could be considered an antagonist is the lack of information or the wrong information as this is what gets in the antagonist’s way but if I person had to be chosen as the antagonist it would be the cafe owner who, when the waitress who was on break was helping Ralph, the owner tried to get Ralph to move and leave cause he was no longer spending money.


In conclusion Ralph is a mediocre film with it having good points with it having good acting and a good setting as well as an exceptional plot. It has good points but what lets it down is lack of music to set a tone and the logic behind the motivation is not that realistic as well as the end conclusion to the film is a bit iffy as well but ether way the film is a enjoyable experiences but in my opinion won’t be going to the Oscars any time to soon.
