Analysis Of The Film ' The Lightening Of A Movie '

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.

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 filmmaker of To Kill a Mockingbird uses specifically camera angles to help develop the characters Harper Lee created in her novel. When filmmakers use close up shots on anyone's face especially with creepy music in the background people instantly tend to feel scared or creeped out. Jem and Scout felt that way when Nathan Radley suddenly came around the tree trunk to patch up the hole where the kids had been gathering little gifts Boo Radley left for them to find. The director had decided to do a close up on Nathan's face during this scene in the film to capture how the children felt at that moment. A more effective way to make people who are watching the film to feel the way the kids did is if during the close up of Nathan's face is if

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.

“Here’s Johnny!” A famous line from The Shining, when Jack Torrance goes mad and is hacking at the bathroom door with an axe to mutilate his wife, Wendy and son, Danny into many little bloody pieces for disobeying him. The Shining is a 1980 psychological horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick. Jack Torrance played by Jack Nicholson, quits his job as a school teacher and takes a job as caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado during the winter, hoping to cure his writer 's block. He moves in along with his wife, Wendy portrayed by Shelley Duvall, and his telepathic son, Danny played by Danny Lloyd. Danny is later told that he has an special telepathic ability called shining, hence the title.

After it was published, the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, was in instant success. The book showed what is was like between whites and blacks back in a time before equality and the truth about how wrongly people of color were treated. “When it’s a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the facts of life” (Lee, 295). Lee did an excellent job getting that point across. Although the film To Kill A Mockingbird is based on the novel, there are still many differences. The film producers made some changes to the order of events and how some things happened.They wanted to make the story flow more easily. So, they switched it up. The movie producers also chose to leave out some characters that didn’t have much

expressions. Lighting was used in the film to portray this. Dim lighting was used whenever

The creation of propaganda films and posters required a small amount of people to produce, but was still a key part in the grand scheme of propaganda. The Nazis had a Film Academy in which they taught new recruits how to make films and distributed the films that the experts made on their own. These films discretely captured the thoughts of Jews in the minds of Nazis, filling them with stereotypes and threats to the community. The film “The Blue Light” is a film featuring a character that depicted a Jewish woman who found herself near a cave filled with tantalizing, glowing crystals. As she approached the cave, she slipped on a cliff and fell to her death. Later, an entire village of people learned of this cave of riches. Instinctively, they took up arms to carry out an expedition on a potential fortune. Instead, the whole village plummeted to its death. These characters were depictions of greed, a stereotypical characteristic of the Jewish people. These offensive displays were part of the propaganda that persuaded France and Great Britain into declaring war to begin World War II.

Moonlight is a movie that follows the life of Chiron as he grows up. Starting from an abusive childhood at his mother’s house, and through his struggle filled highschool years, Chiron ultimately ends up an independent adult. From the beginning of the film, Chiron face abuse at the hands of his mother as well as from bullies at his school, which leads him to find Juan, who acts as a type of mentor to him as he grows up. Juan’s girlfriend Teresa also acts as a mentoring figure through Chiron’s youth and adult life, while Chiron’s own mother slips into drug use and prostitution. In Chiron’s younger years, he befriends Kevin, who remains significant throughout the film as his love interest. While in school, Chiron must battle with bullies, while growing up in a rough home situation. This constant struggle for physical safety and well as safety in his sexuality causes high tension throughout the film. As he discovers himself, Chiron looks to Juan and Teresa for guidance, but eventually lashes out at the violent bullies in his life.

In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, a central or main theme is the usage of the words light and dark, and how they are used to show other feelings. As Scout jumped into the middle of the crowd and saw Atticus, she said, “A flash of plain fear was going out of his eyes, but returned when Dill and Jem wriggled into the light.(pg. 203)” I believe this shows that Atticus is in shock because his kids were seeing what was going on, even Scout was a little confused because she jumped in the middle of a crowd of people she didn't know. I also think Atticus felt like he was seeing the light because he was so stunned that he could just die. Atticus is leaving the jail along with Mr. underwood: “Atticus and Mr. Underwood would talk for the rest

“The most exciting moment is the moment when I add the sound… At this moment, I tremble.” (Akira Kurosawa) Sound is arguably the most important concept in cinema studies, being there ever since the beginnings. It can radically change the way a motion picture is looked at and it can render what the director may sometimes find hard to depict using only his camera. Looking upon silent cinema one discovers an era which wasn’t at all silent, but rich in sound of different forms, from the simple narration of the images shown on screen, accompanied by a piano, to the complex score later composed specifically for that film. An example of that complex score is shown in Sunrise, a film by F.W. Murnau, which lies at the border between silent cinema and sound cinema. Considered to be one of the first films with an actual score, Sunrise is a great example of the multitude of dimensions and effects sound can have.

Theorist Vsevolod Pudovkin claims that narrative films are mainly a “product of construction” and cautious compilations of “selections of images that have been shot” (Renée).

Most of the movie is taken in Joel’s mind or his memory removal process. Starting from his nearest memory that they broke up till his last remaining memory of Clementine that they first met at a beach. I think the most possible reason the movie is called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is referring to the deepest memory (or say, soul) survived and reserved in their both minds that brought them back to the beach and met each other again. This title quotes entirely from Alexander Pope’s poem which know as describing a very contradictory mood from the unattainable love. So does it, the movie shows Joel wants to remove all memory of Clementine while he still loves her, but then during the process he changes mind and want to try his best to keep these memory which is the “spotless mind”. In my mind, the soul theory is the personal identity that the movie most engage. According to the soul theory, to have a same identical, it’s not necessary to have a same memory, but it’s necessary and sufficient to have the same soul. In the movie, though Joel erased his memory, he still has his soul which makes him fall in love with Clementine again, even in theory he can never love her then. On the other hand, this movie seems to intensely against Loke’s memory theory that sharing a memory of an experience is necessary and sufficient to be a same person. And I think the movie also presents its own personal identity that for one person to be identical to the other person, they should have

In Michael Gondry’s Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), the connections between people and memories become the focal point of a very unique romance. Through the use of new technology, the possibility of erasing memories makes painful relationships disappear like they never happened. The tale of Joel and Clementine allows the audience to rethink and question the process they undergo as beneficial or destructive. Though the process might be helpful in eliminating the pain caused from another person, four key scenes show how the lessons learned through relationship experiences are important.
