The movie “Wild” is based on Cheryl Strayed’s autobiography about her trek along the Pacific Crest Trail in 1995. The story is set on the Pacific crest trail, including a wide variety of climates including: deserts, snow covered mountains, and tropical forests. Along her journey on the trail, the movie flashes back to several traumas that drove her into the wild, in order to reinvent herself as a strong independent woman once again, no longer bound by guilt, shame, and regret. This is a movie that embraces the healing values of nature and how it can help an individual gain a broader perspective on life.

At a very young age of eight, David Fincher’s passion for cinema grew when he was inspired by the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). Born in 1962 Denver, Colorado, David Fincher moved to Ashland, Oregon in his teens, where he graduated from Ashland High School. During high school, he directed plays, designed sets, and managed lighting after school. One summer, he and a friend attended the Berkley Film Institute’s summer program, where he hoped to learn film as a true art form but instead was taught the technical production. Either way he was happy to engage is this and as his early film industry career started, he was a production assistant at his local television news station. Years went by as he directed propaganda films followed by becoming a well-known music director until his first movie feature debut Aliens 3 in 1992. However, the American director David Fincher didn’t become a modern 21st century visionary until his creation of the film Se7en (1995). The huge success from this film started Fincher’s popularity in the film industry. From there he continued to make ironic movies we know today such as: Fight Club (1999), Zodiac (2007), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Social Network (2010), Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

John Ford built a standard that many future directors would follow with his classic 1939 film “Stagecoach”. Although there were a plethora of western films made before 1939, the film “Stagecoach” revolutionized the western genre by elevating the genre from a “B” film into a more serious genre. The film challenged not only western stereotypes but also class divisions in society. Utilizing specific aspects of mise-en-scène and cinematography, John Ford displays his views of society.

Disney has faced a large amount of criticism from critics over the tropes and stereotypes that it portrays in its animated films. This is not a recent event however. One of Disney’s most notorious and controversial films, Song of The South, was released in 1946. Song of the South, set during the Reconstruction Era, focuses on a young boy named Johnny who learns that his parents will being living apart for an unknown amount of time, moves to a plantation in Georgia, while his father continues to live in Atlanta. Depressed and confused over the recent events Johnny decides to run away to Atlanta, but is drawn to the voices of Uncle Remus, an ex-slave living on the plantation, telling stories of Br’er Rabbit. Although it is implied that the African American workers are no longer Johnny’s family property, the black characters are still wholly subservient and are happy to be so. James Baskett plays Uncle Remus as a blissfully, happy companion ready to please. Due to this “magical negro” trope, the characters’ ridiculously stereotypical voices, and the unrealistic happy and joyful relationship between the white landowners and their black help, Song of The South, is one of Disney’s most offensive, racist, and fictitious film. Disney’s portrayal of Uncle Remus is his veiled justification of the mistreatment that minorities received before and after the Reconstruction Era.

The Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a Visual text about a 13-year-old boy named Ricky. Ricky changes and develops in the bush and at his new home throughout the whole story. He had never had a real family; he'd been thrust aside, from home to home, getting pushed to the side and abandoned. He never knew what it was like to have a real family who loved him. Since he never felt loved it caused him to retaliate and do many bad things.

The world of film has changed dramatically over the last fifty years, both in technology and perceptions on how the industry should work and how it is viewed by the public. The ending of the production code in Hollywood started the cultural change in the industry. With this restrictive institution gone, many directors chose to take advantage of this in many different ways. My favorite of these is Mel Brooks; he chose to break and push boundaries both socially and comedically. Brooks’ style often includes crude humor inlaid with deeper jokes and meaning, many fourth wall breaking moments such as the “We’re in now now” scene of Spaceballs, to stand out in the world of comedy. His masterpiece, Blazing Saddles, is one such film that did just that. Through its new found sense of humor in the post production code era and its twists on common genre tropes of the time, Blazing Saddles was able to find its place into the New Hollywood Cinema.

The western movie I pick is John Ford’s movie Stagecoach (1939). The movie is about a group of people traveling together by stagecoach from the town Tonto to Lordsburg. The people traveling together are a diverse group of people. All of them have the specific motivation for going, but they all share the same goal reaching to Lordsburg. The characters are Dallas who’s a prostitute, Mrs. Lucy Mallory who is the wife of the Army Cavalry officer, Ellsworth Henry Gatewood who is a banker, Hatfield who is a gambler, Samuel Peacock who is whiskey salesman, Doc Josiah Boone who is a alcoholic doctor, Buck Rickabaugh who is a stage driver, Marshal Curley Wilcox who is a marshal riding shotgun, and Ringo Kid who is an escaped outlaw.

This film August: Osage County tells a story about the women of Weston and how their lives flipped outside down with a family crisis. In Lieu of an untimely death it brings all of them together under one roof, where they are forced to face some unwanted truths. The film depicts the effects of prescription pill abuse on a family unit and the ways that each individual character copes contributes to the family system.

Book by James Lapine was a great story overall. I truly enjoyed watching the show especially when the Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim played perfectly during the show. Director Eve Himmelheber was able to put out a such an amazing show. I really enjoyed watching Into The Woods because it was colorful, every character was really great with their role, and so much more. I could not be more amazed of how beautiful the production came out. Musical Director Mitchell Hanlon was really great with every musical that played throughout the show. He was always in time of making the sound when a character would kick the floor or any action that was necessary during the play. Scenic Designer Mauri Anne Smith and Ashley Strain created such an amazing setting for the production. The scene looked very realistic, which is really great because it gave me a different feel of the show. Costume Designer Michelle Kincaid created such beautiful costumes for every single character. Whether the costumes were bought, hand made, or both it still came out pretty good. The costume definitely matched the theme of having several characters from different show. Lighting Designer Ben Hawkins made the interior and

For this paper I want to focus on some important points of the movie McFarland because this movie for me has some really important topics it addresses. In addition, one of the these important topics that I am going to be emphasizing on and elaborating more, is on the issue of language assumption due to race. Furthermore, another significant issue that I will focus on is on how having teamwork/hard work can bring so much success and achievement not mattering in the situation you are in. These are some of the most essential issues that I found to be more shown in this movie, therefore wanted to expand on them a bit more.

Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book, and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other, but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar, Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who, after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990, gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following his dream of living off the land in the Alaskan wilderness. McCandless made it to Alaska, but died shortly after taking residence in an abandoned bus; he probably passed from eating the wrong deadly plant or possibly from starvation. The book was

Collin, great job on comparing Anthony Bourdain No Reservations and the River Monsters TV shows, I never connected the act of participant observation with the media of television, but it makes perfect sense. It brings to mind the television show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern and parts of the cult classic film, The Faces of Death. Both of which reveal norms in other cultures that would be 100% taboo in western culture, such as eating dog or horse as Houk wrote about. The only difference that came to mind over and over as I was reading was, I could not help but realize that our survival instinct would win out over our cultural beliefs every time if we were pushed to the extreme of being forced to choose between the two. As was the case with

The movie “North Country” is based on a coal-mining town in northern Minnesota. Josey Aimes leaves her abusive husband with her two children and decides to move in with her parents. Josey started with a job shampooing in a nearby hair salon, but it was not enough to support her family. Therefore, she decided to take a job at the coal mine where her father works also. Her first few days working in the mine seemed to be okay, but she then realized the women were targets of discrimination and sexual harassment.

Within the mind, we have thoughts and triggers that set our fears. Fear is the number one thing that can cause us from doing things in life. No matter what time frame we are in, on this planet, we learn that fear is worth controlling in life. One spectacular movie that inhibits fear and control so well in our human nature is The Village by M. Night Shyamalan. Mr. Shyamalan shows so much potential in this film with ourselves and the viewing of certain scenes that trigger the mind with control and fear. A few of the scenes in the movie inherit the cultural background with the late 1800’s time frame and sets a real tragedy throughout the film. In this motion picture, we learn certain things that fear some of us and have plot twist actions that make the movie so spectacular. As we approach the plot twists; fear, themes, and control for this video, it is a life lesson in most cases maybe for those who are in-love or just looking for a movie to open our minds.
