Analysis Of The Movie Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid

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.

There are many theories explaining what an auteur is, but I am not going to chose a specific theory to correct or criticize, instead I am merely going to use the term to prove that Wes Anderson has been and still is considered an important director whose work is made in a consistent manner yet still manages to be new and exciting. The auteur theory for some is considered ‘outdated’, so it seems strange to be using such term to describe a director who is recognized as an indie, contemporary American auteur, however for those who choose to believe that the auteur theory is evolving, it is useful. Wes Anderson, himself, “resists overarching theories about his works” (Empire Magazine issue 297, March 2014), believing that he is not an auteur,

Butch Cassidy is the talkative and visionary leader of his Wild Bunch, an infamous group of bank robbers from the American Old West. He thinks his way out his problems, mostly through deception, and he always has new ideas in regards to heists and his own future. His partner, the Sundance Kid, is an expert gunslinger with an intimidating presence. He’s calm, stern, and willing to kill when backed into a corner, but he leaves the planning and thinking to Butch.

In the film Stagecoach (John Ford, 1939) the Western characteristics of this film are that the cowboys in the film are resourceful and restricted to no one. They are fully competent of roaming the frontier on their own without having to rely on the securities of civilization. Yet they also have a code of honor; although they are ruggedly independent, the cowboys respect the rules of society and is unwilling to exploit others or to condone the careless disregard for human life exhibited by outlaws or stereotypically Indians.

The moment you begin watching The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo or Gone Girl people familiar with David Fincher know it’s his work. Simply his lack close-ups, dark lighting values, and especially dark in visual aesthetics. Fincher’s obsession for psychological thrillers fit perfectly with his dark tones and wide shot directing style. Fincher likes to allow the audience to see everything in the frame as if the audience were there in person. That is why he rarely includes close-up shots unless it is important to the storyline.

After hearing about The Big Lebowski years back from a fellow sailor while stationed in Pearl Harbor and how he enjoyed going to The Lebowski fest, I've wanted to watch this movie and now that I have I regret not watching it sooner. I have to say that this movie quickly became one of my favorites while John Goodman's character Walter reminded me of many of my military friends. The Big Lebowski is full of some great laughs and many, many quotable moments.

Jeffrey Lebowski represented a pacifist 60’s anti-war student leader that grew up and is lost in the materialistic world. He is the zeitgeist of the 60’s, he is groovy yet also is also a lazy stoner that is usually in his pajamas or bowling shoes.” He means no harm to anyone and even attends his landlords dance recital after promises him he would go to it. Lebowski is introduced to the audience as “The Dude” and proves to be the most just and kind persona in the film; this is made easy by the shady and ploys that are only in their self-interests. He drinks often and sometimes smokes away his daily pains, and is continually confronted even when he trying to just chill. Infact there are nine separate time throughout the movie where he goes

Steven Spielberg is one of the most successful directors in history, his movies have changed the way to make movies and also have given people the type of movies they want to see. Spielberg has touched the life of many people through his movies, it is probably the outcome of being passionate about his work and loving what he does (“Steven Spielberg as a Role Model”, 2007). His movies are full of human relationships and connections between people, and that is probably what it has influenced nowadays’ cinema (Stephens, 2010). People want to feel emotions and see themselves reflected on the screen, people having troubles and getting over them, people connecting with other people and having emotions like real human beings. Steven has focused a

David Fincher is a well-respected and established director known for his unique visual style and for being one of the biggest proponents of the digital film movement. He started his career in music videos after leaving Industrial Light and Magic. He uses Darkness is a staple to his style and his signature color scheme is filled with these dark tones of earthy colors. Fincher’s use of color is not solely based on aesthetic but because it brings an additional layer of meaning to his films that amplify the emotions/feelings of the characters.

Reading on this question reminds me of watching old westerns with my Pepaw back in the day and of the Wild-Wild West, John Wayne, and none other than my favorite Wyatt Earp. These people in these movies as this history lesson reads were of a half-hazard way of life as the West was being developed. These people who moved this direction all thought they knew best, were the boss, and had no intention of letting anyone tell them otherwise. This is why the East had to try to force some govern control over this vast land of the West (Schultz, n.d.). Mostly on the way the whites were taking control, as the southerners always thought they could, by just pushing others around. The whites were taking land as if it were theirs for a life time to developed
