Analysis Of The Film SinginIn The Rain

Australia’s Identity plays an important part in the stereotypes identified in the film Beneath Clouds, (2002) directed by Ivan Sen presented through violence, racism and a less than adequate education. Through Drover 's Wife (1892) written by Henry Lawson characters are depicted through one mother 's hardships and the way she raises her family in the absence of her husband. Both Beneath Clouds and Drover’s Wife explore Australian identity and what makes it, along with the integral part of any culture in a diverse way.

The “Sunny Randall” series follows main character Sunny Randall, who is a female detective. She was created by Parker so that Helen Hunt would play her in a movie, but it never happened. He kept the series going because his publisher asked him to. Both Randall and Spenser (another Boston detective that was created by Parker) have things in common, but also things that make them unique. There are six novels to the series.

Of all the different genres of movies, horror is for sure my favorite type to watch. I was looking over the list of movies for this last assignment and my eye went straight to the horror section. After looking at all of the options for the scary movies, I thought to myself that I should branch out and watch a type of movie that I don't usually watch. So I chose musical. Although I don't watch musicals often, when I do, I enjoy them very much. For starters, singing is such a beautiful gift to the ears of people, like me, that love listening to someone sing. I love listening to people sing and it gives me chills whenever a pretty song is sung. I also love watching people dance and in many musicals, there are always a choreographed dances throughout the films.

Musicals were meant to bring exoticism to people so that people could enjoy and feel like they are somewhere for a couple of hours. What people didn’t see was the deeper meaning that some musicals brought to the surface like segregation, racism, body issues and LGBT. Hairspray and West Side Story are two musicals that bring deep meaning to their musicals if you look hard enough you will find them. Even though there is race faced in both Hairspray and West Side Story that build issues, yet the both come together as a group at the end.

The artistic intensions of this film are implicitly stated everywhere throughout the film. All of the dancing, singing, acting and pretend fighting was done thoroughly and very well, although the miking and mixing during the pretend fighting did not seem realistic. Specific actors, dancers, and singers were trained and taught how to perform in order to get the message across to the audience that this West Side Story is not just a film, but a

First of all the movie won 5 Tony awards and it was number one on the Billboard charts for 12 weeks, and it was on the charts for 245 weeks. Even more, this shows that the movie was a very stupendous one if it was number one for a long time, and on the charts for a lot longer. In addition, the story that the musical has is an excellent one, and here it is. When a man named Harold Hill, who is a traveling con man comes to River City he wants to convince the people of River City to start a band, and he succeeds. He announces to them they need to purchase uniforms and instruments for the band from him, because right away after he got the money he was going to leave. When a woman named Marian starts to realize that he is a fraud, though she doesn’t want to say anything because her brother is thrilled about the new band. In the end of the movie Harold doesn’t leave town after developing feelings for Marian, and he creates the band and makes the town proud, which is where the story ends. Plus, the set of the movie was made to create a town set in the time of 1912, and it came out in 1962. The movie took 18 or more sets to make the movie that it was. For example, The set wasn’t the only thing that took a while, the scenes did too. Also, one of the scenes took eight hours of straight filming for two days, to film it. Lastly

The film Moonlight was released October 21, 2016. Moonlight is all African American cast, and was awarded over 25 awards including the Academy Award for best picture. This film is a coming of age story that follows the dramatic ups and downs of the life of Chiron, a young Africa American man growing up in Miami. The plot begins from the time he is in elementary school to the time he reaches adulthood. The plot is structured in three stages of the life of Chiron and touches on the topics of the struggle of dysfunctional households via socialization, sexuality and sexual identity, physical and emotion abuse, and the process of accepting ones self.

Not all films which adhere to the classical Hollywood paradigm eschew issues. The film Singin’ in the Rain follows Don Lockwood, a popular silent film actor, as he attempts to maintain his star status during the advent of “talkies”. Lockwood’s journey manifests fame’s capricious temperament, the studio’s commercial interest, and the influence of outside variables on a film. Singin’ in the Rain uses Lockwood’s struggle with celebrity to expose the importance of public image and self esteem.

Singing in the Rain is everything that a Classical Hollywood film is supposed to be from the mise-en-scene, narrative and editing in the film. Throughout the film unobtrusive editing is used for easy viewing for the audience. When Don Lockwood is singing “Singin’ in the Rain” while he is dancing in the rain is a perfect example of mise-en-scene. This specific scene captures all the talent and visualization that went into

This is a criticism of Moonlight, a film directed by Barry Jenkins. It is a coming-of-age story, telling the journey of a young gay black man named Chiron. Through linear character development the film follows a young Chiron from adolescence into adulthood while growing up with alpha males in Miamis black ghettos. The Story is told in three parts, with a different actor playing the lead role in each section: a young Chiron named “Little”, as a teen named “Chiron”, and an adult named “Black”. Despite a compelling lead performance by Mahershala Ali and Naomie Harris, and its great soundtrack, Moonlight falls flat and never gets out of the shadow of its typical cliche plot, all the while, the film continued to never overcome the obstacle of

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.

The musical film has always held a special place for me. From my time as a drama student in high school, my eyes have been opened to the amazing world of the musical and especially the musical film. The musical film is a film genre in which the characters sing songs that are integrated into the overall story. Since musicals first began in theaters, musical films usually contain similar elements. These elements often simulate that there is a live audience watching. In a sense, the film viewers become the audience members, at a theater production, as the actor performs directly to them. Due to the popularity of musicals in the theater, the style was quickly brought over into film. In 1927, the musical film genre began

Sankofa is an Ankan word which means, “We must go back and reclaim our past in order to move forward ( Diop, 2014).” The film Sankofa was produced in the year 1993 in Ghana directed by Haile Gerima. It is based on the Atlantic slave trade. It is the story slavery from the point of view of Africans. In the film, all characters represent an element of African American culture (Gerima, 1993). It also shows the traditional racial scale with the whites at the top followed by Half-castes in the middle and blacks at the bottom.

The importance of music in movies is highly regarded for manipulating the viewer’s emotions and helping them immerse into the story. Music is one of the prime elements in cinema. Without it a movie would feel dull and unexciting. There are three elements in a movie: one is acting, the second is picture, and the third one is music. It is a holy trinity; if incomplete, there would be a lack of sensation and excitement. Both acting and picture can stand independently from one another, but music is the one that makes the movie memorable.

A musical film is a genre of movie where songs sung by characters are added into the storyline, occasionally complemented by choreography. The musical numbers in these films do not always develop the plot and characters, but they do give the films a more exciting quality. The primary difference between musical theatre and film musicals is the use of extravagant scenery that would be extraordinarily unreasonable for a stage performance. While making movies, the individuals involved have the luxury of being able to shoot multiple takes and have the time to move backgrounds around or change their entire location. Stage performances, on the other hand, must have scenery that can be easily and efficiently moved on and offstage when it is needed. In order to be able to thoroughly comprehend this relatively recent- in the grand scheme of things- form of entertainment, one should understand the history behind these musical films, be aware of some of the “big names” that are well-known, and recognize major titles that revolutionized musical film forever (Scaruffi, P., 2005).
