A Film Analysis Of The Movie Gothika

Helena Bonham-Carter was indeed casted well for her role. As Ophelia she had one of the most difficult roles in the film to play because her character who's gone mad can no longer deal with the others. Bonham-Carter does an outstanding job and making you think she has actually gone insane. However, as far as Glenn Close goes, her character Gertrude just appears to be a crazy school girl dazed with love. It is clear that Close gave one of the most over exaggerated death scenes I’ve ever

The movie Before Night Falls directed by Julian Schnabel offers viewers a glimpse of how the homosexual community in Cuba was being mistreated under Fidel Castro’s regime. The true story is told in the eyes of Cuban poet Reinaldo Arenas. The film depicts Arenas life in Cuba and all of the awful experiences that he had to deal with as a homosexual. Eventually he was arrested for false accusations of being a molester, however, he was actually under arrest for being a homosexual. Between the 1930s and 1990s, the Communist Cuba was abusive to the LGBT community as shown in their actions of harassment towards homosexuals, imprisoning the homosexuals, or sending them to re-education camps.

Films are created for many reasons. Some of these include to entertain, inform, and raise awareness. Whilst the film ‘Kokoda’ is entertaining, it also has some value as a historical source. However, its information is limited and some aspects of the battle are not portrayed. The battle conditions for Australian soldiers in Papua New Guinea is presented in an informative way in the movie yet it does not cover the conditions the Japanese soldiers had to face as well. The portrayal of the conditions for the 39th battalion full of Australians is depicted effectively in the film through scenes that emphasise the struggle and difficulties the soldiers faced due to them. We can see the tough terrain in many scenes in the movie such as when the

“Insidious” is a 2010 horror movie centralizing around the lives of protagonists Renai (Rose Byrne) and her husband Josh (Patrick Wilson). The movie mainly focuses on the supernatural activity going on within the house, and it is later revealed that the cause of the hauntings is due to demons attempting to take over the body of their unconscious son, Dalton (Ty Simpkins).

The History of Arlington begins with George Washington. Custis built the Arlington House to commemorate George Washington and his wife Martha Dandridge. The land once belonged to George Washington Parke Custis. In 1831 Mary Randolph Custis married Robert E. Lee. A property tax on the house caused Lee to leave Arlington. The plantation was set aside for a military cemetery thus creating Arlington National Cemetery. William Christian was the first military official to be buried in Arlington in 1864. That same year a man named Montgomery Meig appropriated the grounds in June 15, 1864 as a military cemetery so Lee couldn’t live in the Arlington House.

The movie is very engaging and had an auteur that made this movie stand out from other movies. While watching this movie over and over throughout the years, I would notice more detail. The fight scene in which I have chosen to analyze caught my attention each time. This one scene included hidden details that can only be noticed if paused and analyze the scene closely.

I chose Mean Girl because is a comedy full of notable quotes, funny characters, and is a very entertaining film. However what many individuals may not recognize is that film it shows several psychological concepts like parenting styles, adolescent egocentrism, role identity, and orders. Mean Girls takes places in the high school scenery. It all being with a girl name Cady Heron from Africa that has been home schooled her entire life until her family and herself move to Evanston, Illinois. Cady had to start high school life all over, and learning many things about her self and others, she also needs to make friends and try to blend in. She made friends with two classmates Janice and Damien who gave her all the details about the cliques and hierarchy rules at their high school. Which lead them to talk about the “Plastics” which involve the three most popular girls at their high school Gretchen, Karen and most importantly the queen bee of the school Regina George. Everyone wanted to be like the “Plastics”. She becomes involved with a well know school clique called “The Plastic” and this is how everything started. This film shows very funny but real life

In the film “Lars and the Real Girl” it uses a form and style that describes what Lars is going through. Throughout the film we can see Lars avoids people who try to show him loving emotions and physical contact such as touch, as when we see the psychologist touch his arm and he becomes uncomfortable. We can also see that Lars acts like a little boy in some instances throughout the film. An example of this is when we see Lars at church playing with action figures and when he drops one he realizes he is causing a disturbance during mass and he clearly becomes shy and embarrassed. Another example is when Lars plays with Margo’s teddy bear and gives it CPR to supposedly bring it back to life. During the film, we can also see many repetitions of

My initial reaction to the film itself was quite positive. Before watching the movie, it wasn’t positive. The story line, when I had read about the topic, seemed repetitive. I didn’t want to hear and see the same things over and over again. I had thought that that was what this movie was going to be. But going and watching the whole thing, and getting to see a different part of the story, was very interesting and I ended up liking it much more than I had thought at first.

The film is very touching, whether in an inspiring way or a sad way, you where touched by it. The acting in the film was unbelievable. Emilie

The film overall was a bit of a let down. It has a slow build up - we only get to see Juniper halfway through when the whole move was basically about her. I feel as if for example she is getting hunted down you don't really get given a reason why she is being chaised. She

Black Girl Magic Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, also known as Queen Bee, released her sixth studio album in 2016 and she still has the whole world buzzing about it. At first glance it seems like the album is centered on Jay-Z's infidelity as the accompanying film goes through the twelve chapters of grief one experiences after dealing with an unfaithful partner: intuition, denial, anger, apathy, emptiness, loss, accountability, reformation, forgiveness, resurrection, hope and redemption. However, upon further analysis, it becomes apparent that Beyoncé opens up her personal life and makes herself vulnerable to convey a more meaningful message. Beyoncé’s well versed, informative, and revolutionary album Lemonade touches upon topics relevant to today’s

The movie Mean Girls is a good representation of topics that were discussed in class this week. The plot of the movie is about a teenage girl who previously lived in Africa and was home schooled by her parents. Her family moved to Illinois, and for the first time she attended a public high school. During school she aligns herself with a group of girls classified as “the plastics.” Members of the group have certain norms that they must abide by and follow. For example, pink must be worn on Wednesdays, pony tails can only be worn once a week, and the only day track pants or jeans can be worn is Friday. The number of participants in the group is four, however the communication throughout this group is very ineffective. Throughout the movie there

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

There are many different types of film and film genres. A film can fit into more than one genre, but there are some genres that are more general than others. Some examples of film genre are animated, science fiction, documentary, comedy, and historical fiction. Within each genre, there are also specific characteristics that help support themes and story lines within that genre.
