Analysis Of Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

In the film Green Mile, different sociological theories and concepts can be useful in considering how societies rule our behaviors in life within different cultural places and times. A theory developed by sociologist Emile Durkheim known as the functionalist perspective profoundly applies through out the film. Concepts that are also seen in the film includes: human agency, norms, folkways, mores, and master status with a few theories and concepts of deviance.

Oh gosh!!! There were so many things wrong with this movie, I am not even sure where to begin. So, "Vacation" is the seventh in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" series, and this one should have most definitely remained in the ether. This newest offering is hallmarked by the deirectorial debut of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstien, both of which have been tapped to write the newest Spider-Man reboot, which if this movie was any indication of what is to come, does in no way bode well for poor ol' Spidey.

The movie “John Q” narrates a story of the financially constrained character John Quincy Archibald who ensures that his nine year old son at the brink of death, secures a heart transplant by any means possible. Throughout the movie, there is a compelling display of the love shared by a family and this is seen in the great lengths John went to save his son, however unlawful. The main characters are John, Michael and Denise Archibald, Rebecca Payne, Doctor Turner and Lt. Grimes.

As a young adult, it is difficult to grow up without parents and still be tough and brave. In addition, teens can be emotional and overreact at times. In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, a fourteen-year-old kid named Ponyboy Curtis feels different emotions that make him stand out from other Greasers, or “hoodlums”. Ponyboy, the youngest of all the Greasers, is a great example of a teen who feels isolated, brave, and emotional throughout the novel.

Sabina Berman is a notable and critically acclaimed Mexican playwright. Berman’s notable work includes her first published play, Yankee (1979). In Adam Versényi’s translation of Yankee, Berman explores the relationship between the individual and identity. Through the three main characters—Bill, Alberto, and Rosa—we see the continual conflict they face as they aspire to achieve their respective objectives: to feel nurtured and loved, to have peace and quiet, and to feel loved and acknowledged. But it is Berman’s interjection of juxtapositions that forces us to analyze the relationship between the main characters. More specifically, Berman focuses on the impact Bill has as an intruder, and how he highlights the national identity incompatibilities between North American and Mexican cultures, to expose the serious social and political problems between the nations.

The movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is based in the 1970s. It depicts the highly male dominated broadcast team and shows the shake up when a woman is hired as a reporter and has aspirations of becoming an anchor the television station. The particular scene shows Ron Burgundy is flustered because Veronica Coringstone is impeding on his masculinity. Burgundy exemplifies hegemonic masculinity by explaining he is a man and a professional, when Coringstone says he his acting like a baby he takes offense and explains he is a man and he his ultimately better than a women because indeed he is a man. Burgundy states, “'I’m a man who discovered the wheel, and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am.

I have watched a considerable number of movies this semester so it was hard to choose which one to analyze. It came down to “Remember the Titans” or “Good Will Hunting”. However, the movie that I will be analyzing is “Good Will Hunting”. The reason I chose this movie is that it can be analyzed in many different ways. I will be analyzing different scenes of the movie and analyze them from different angles. I will be analyzing about the symbolism that is happening in the movie. I will be analyzing many different things about the movie. The first thing I will analyze in this movie is the symbolism of things, objects, colors, and

In the movie Wit, Vivian Bearings is a well-known and accredited professor that teaches 17th century poetry. Vivian is diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She is convinced to try an experimental chemo treatment; which ends up failing. During the movie Vivian narrates her experience with her, chemo treatment, the medical staff, and the different stages of dying. Other supporting characters include Dr. Kelekian, the lead doctor who informed her of her diagnosis, Dr. Jason Posner, the clueless fellow and Susie, her sympathetic nurse. The complete lack of professionalism and bedside manor from the doctors and hospital staff is what stands forefront in this film. While hoping for a successful resolution to Vivian’s sudden predicament, we watch as everything we all hope to never have to encounter while fighting such a debilitating and demoralizing disease. Wit (Bosanquet et al., 2001)

Good afternoon and welcome ladies and gentlemen to the annual English language conference for 2015. Today I will be addressing the topic of texts in the modern English classroom, and will explore the use of film as an accompaniment to complex texts. Through the study of the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and the sci-fi drama film, Equilibrium, it is evident that film can enhance the understanding of complex texts.

The Incredibles(Bird, 2004), while more progressive in its message than previous Disney projects, fails to fully embrace progressive ideas in its characters or how they affect the story. The Incredibles when seen through its adherence to gender roles and inability to put real influence in its female characters removes possible story strength when given to a female audience when put in comparison with the story structure of Frozen(Buck & Lee, 2013). In Frozen, the two most influential characters are women and sisters in contrast to the focus being put on the patriarch of the family. Some may look at The Incredibles as equally as progressive as Frozen given the family dynamic changes to put a more equal weight of responsibility across gender lines, and allows the female characters to show strength while the male characters can show weakness. When compared to Frozen, The Incredibles does not fully embody progressive ideals. This is primarily due to the differing family dynamics in each film and the dependence on patriarchal characters for substantive plot development in The Incredibles.

Bordertown by Gregory Nava is about the brave story of a journalist, Lauren Adrian who risks her life to save Eva’s life and investigates the murders of young women in Juarez, who are in a modern type of slavery, which makes people work long periods of time without proper remuneration. The director brings to the screen the immorality and inhumanity occurring in Mexico to these young women. In addition, his message illustrates how democracy in Mexico is not being taken as serious as in other democratic nations and how the American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has disadvantages. For instance, rich and powerful families exploit poor individuals with the government’s consent and with the help of United States through NAFTA. From what I have seen in Nava’s movie, I agree with his message.

Brokeback Mountain is a short story written by Annie Proulx in 1997, which portrayed two Wyoming ranchers, Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, engaged in a homosexual relationship that started in the 60’s and lasted through the 80’s. This short story gave people a different look into the cowboy society and how the rugged men of the frontier possibly sought out love and affection.

The film Forrest Gump uses a lot of information and historical events and expresses them using aesthetic techniques such as sound, cinematography, editing, etc. The director Robert Zemeckis uses form to explain the overall meaning of the film specifically with symbolism from popular phrases and gives visual examples throughout the story.

Southpaw is a beautifully illustrated film about a fighter, who once felt as if he was on top of the world. Throughout the film, the character Billy Hope is put through extreme circumstances that cause the man to go from on top, to the lowest depths in a matter of moments, or so it seems. As Hope loses his wife in a terrible stage of events, because of his career choice, and enemies; he’s left feeling alone. Due to the loss and extreme heart break he begins to make bad life altering decisions that result in his child going into foster care which only made it worse. Billy decided to get his life together and began working hard to get his daughter back although their family can never be the same. The movie itself portrays how quickly life can change for one person, but how it isn’t impossible to recover from horrific events although it is very difficult.
