The film Little Miss Sunshine, Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Farris, explores the lives of a regular American family and how they change their lives in front of us in the ‘Combie’ van on the road to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant. The film examines the issues of winning and losing, and what it means to be a winner, throughout many sequences in the film as well as exploring the value of family.

The 1971 Mel Stewart film, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”, is about a little boy named Charlie Bucket, who is very poor and wants to do something to help his family. The movie starts by showing that there is a contest going on for people to win a special tour through the factory of Wonka Chocolate Company and a lifetime supply of chocolate. There are only five special golden tickets hidden inside products from the Wonka Company. When the five people have found the tickets, there is a big gathering on the day of the tour with big crowds of people and news people too to see Mr wonka come out from his factory to greet the winners. When the children and their parents are inside the factory the children sign a thing saying they will not steal or take information or do bad things and they all go on their way for the tour. Right away, it all seems very strange with coat hooks that move and weird size doors and rooms. Inside of the factory is very much a different world. The workers are small orange men who sing songs telling about the behaviors people should not have.

Suicide affects many all around the world and suicide rate keep increasing, making suicide a growing concern. In the film Cake, the main character Claire Bennett develops an odd fascination with the suicide of a woman from her support group. In this paper, I will focus on Claire.

Despite being one of the most popular, if not most popular, animated movies of all-time, Toy Story offers a limited perspective when it comes to gender because of manhood acts, homosociality, and stereotypes. The manhood acts in the film suppress women at the same time as they support the hegemonic masculinity, which is the masculinity that actively attempts to suppress women and inferior masculinities (Bird pg. 129). When the male characters in the movie do this, it approves of this negative behavior that limits the voice of the female characters. Additionally, the lack of female characters causes the film to portray homosociality, which prevents young girls from seeing a variety of representations of women in the toys. Also, the stereotypes in the movie reduce women to second class citizens. Both male and female stereotypes in the movie support the hegemonic masculinity. Ultimately, the depiction of manhood acts, homosociality, and stereotypes in the film, Toy Story, actively support the hegemonic masculinity at the expense of other gender identities.

The Australian Film ‘The Castle’ released in 1997 explores the life of the Kerrigans, a typical Australian working class family. However, their home is placed in an unusual spot; right next to Melbourne’s busiest airport. I believe that the Kerrigans are positioned by the film as being powerless. My first argument is that the Values, attitudes and beliefs that the Kerrigans follow are not really up to date. They do not have a sense of how the legal system works which adds to their powerless theme. Secondly, the Kerrigans think that it is very easy to stop a big business from taking some land. And finally; the Kerrigans have no real education so they don’t turn out to look formal at a court, they dress as if they are true Australians; Shorts and a T-shirt.

The battle with maintaining innocence is a focal theme introduced in Beah’s memoirs by using flashbacks, symbolism, and natural motifs. The first period of Beah’s memoir explores how he fought to stay alive before becoming a child soldier. His rap cassette symbolizes his innocence to a group of voluntary village guards, who question he and his friend’s status in the war, as they attempt to bypass the village. The rap cassette with the help of a Mattru Jong regular talent show attendee’s voucher is able to convince the group of guards to release the boys (Beah, 2007, P38). Jumping to the final period of his memoir, the tape and his deep affection for

I watched the movie Bad Sugar which was about Diabetes and how it was affecting the indians living along the Gila River and surrounding areas. I enjoyed this video very much and found it helpful to understand more about Diabetes and how it is affecting the native american population along the Gila River. The three most important points that were made in the video were the dollars that are spent each year to treat diabetes, how income plays a role, and how there is a strong correlation between the lack of a water supply and the significant increase of Diabetes along the Gila river .

He had a happy and a great life. In addition, he had a son who he named Lennie Jr. in loving memory of his friend Lennie. George’s son had some resemblance regarding Lennie, they both loved to pet soft animals. Lennie Jr., loved to tend the rabbits and had lots of animals just like his deceased uncle, Lennie. George remembered Lennie everyday, he remembered their adventures together and the whole life together. Even though Candy died some years before, he got to seee their successful ranch.

The film “Miracle” depicts the story of the U.S. men’s ice hockey team during their preparation and participation in the 1980 Winter Olympics. During these Olympics, the United States team was regarded as an underdog compared to the powerful Soviet Union. There were many obstacles the team had to overcome in order to defeat the Soviets. There was also a lot of political turmoil that made the stakes at these Olympics even higher.

Candy is the only other character (aside from George and Lennie) who has a companion, his old and weak dog. Carlson, a ranch hand, shoots Candy's feeble dog to put him out of his misery. Following right after the loss of his poor dog, Candy immediately agrees to George and Lennie's plan to settle on a farm of their own and even pitches in three hundred and fifty bucks.

If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey, that’s great. But its very, very unpredictable. There’s so many ways you can screw it up. And i'm afraid it might end disastrous soon. Hyung, for yours and ours sake.. we need to interrogate him again, soon." Hoseok spoke. His words were somewhat of an inspiration. Actually, all of them cherished Hoseok. They all knew he was depressed, he grew up underprivileged and in a rough area, he was depressed about not having a soulmate. Jung Hoseok would seem like the last person to say that life was wonderful.

In looking at the 1992 horror film entitled Candyman that was directed by Bernard Rose and Clive Barker, race is one of key parts of the film. Many aspects of the film were changed from the short story that Clive Barker wrote in 1985 entitled The Forbidden. Most the notable aspects of the film are missing in the original story and this brings the to mind the idea that something caused Clive Barker to change so many key features of his story as he brought the story to life on the silver screen. As mentioned by Mark Pellegrini in his article about Candyman “as he appeared in “The Forbidden” was actually a white guy with long blonde hair and incredibly pale skin. Another difference was Candyman’s garb. In the film he wears a long overcoat, while in the book he is clad in a brightly colored patchwork outfit. The actor that plays Candyman in the film is the furthest possible image from The Forbidden could ever be as a 6’5-foot African American actor named Tony Todd. Another notable change was the location of the story itself as it was supposed to be set in London, England but was instead moved to the housing project in Chicago, Illinois for the film. The film, Candyman, is notable not only as one of the few slasher films that features African Americans but it is one of the few horror movies that not only showed African Americans as racially inferior human beings and as products of victimization while also challenging racial stereotypes of the period of the late 1980s through

Cigarette Candy is a sentimental story of a young man’s trauma caused by his war experience who was forced to act heroic and end ups bonding with a rebellious girl at his homecoming party. Lauren Wolkstein’s short film is a beautifully directed montage used to evoke emotion and compassion.

In the movies, there are a number of factors that will impact the quality of the film and the story. This is because producers and directors are using different techniques that will enhance their ability to entertain. The Sound of Music is taking numerous ideas and is integrating them together.

This will be accomplished by focusing on: the storytelling, acting, cinematography, editing, sound, style / directing, impact of the film on society / vice versa, genre, application of at least one approach and overall textual themes. Together, these elements will highlight the effects of the film and how it has influenced others inside the industry.
