Low angle shot, where a camera points upwards from below, generally make people or things look bigger, more courageous and important. However, same angle shots sometimes will be chosen to emphasize different effects in one film. In the movie “Night of the Living Dead,” the director George A. Romero uses low angles for different purposes.

As time goes on, history has a way of getting distorted from its most truthful form. Time causes people to drift away from accuracy and become more interested in what they want to remember. Hollywood has a reputation of creating films that cater more to the average viewer, rather than the history buff. Inglorious Basterds, by Quentin Taratino, take very liberal liberty with a history story, and creates a story that will sell to the crowd. This may seem dubious, but it is often not such a bad thing. Hollywood can take a story that may have one connotation, may it be serious or dreary, and turn it into something that evokes different emotions, will still addressing historical issues or topics. Taratino chooses to film a movie of this type

Requiem for Detroit? is a historical documentary, released in 2010 and directed by Julien Temple, about the decline and collapse of Detroit, one of America’s largest cities. It chronicles Detroit’s journey through its success in the automobile industry all the way through its urban decay and industrial collapse to the present day. As the film draws a close, Temple also suggests some ways forward for Detroit. He presents possibilities and clearly shows which he thinks is most likely through his use of interviews with subjects and visual representations of these offered opinions. The intended reading that Temple offers viewers is a complex one, with many anti-consumerist and anti-corporate ideas and leanings. Despite the ‘doom-laden’ feel of much of the text, Temple paints optimism for the potential for a progressive and productive future for Detroit. Throughout the documentary he clearly expresses this intended reading through effective use of motifs, shown by visual and sound techniques, music and interviews with both privileged and non-privileged characters.

The film Django Unchained (2012) by Quentin Tarantino defines the historical issue of institutional racism that existed in the antebellum era of Southern slavery. This unique perspective on history defines the struggle of Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christopher Waltz) to save Django’s wife, Broomhilda Von Shaft (Kerry Washington) from the evil southern plantation owner, Calvin Candie (Leonardo Di Caprio). Candie’s presence as the primary patriarchal figure in the story not only defines the dominance of white racism in the south, but the class-based elitism of the “southern plantation owner” as the apex of the institution of slavery in the antebellum era: “The transition from two 18th and early 19th-century models—the genteel

Facing Death is a compelling documentary on, oftentimes, the final journey patients and their families will venture through together in life. The documentary seeks to capture how the patients and their families respond to the inevitability of death. The film includes families who respond to the issue by allowing their family member, the patient, to pass through the door of death without aggressive care, while there are yet other families who insist on everything being done to delay the moment of death. This topic of fighting death is attributed with producing much debate. On one hand are those who do not see the point of fighting death, however, on the other hand, there are those who believe that delaying death and staying alive is what ought to be done. Personally, from what I understand of either party, I think that I am a part of the later party. In addition, this issue naturally delves into what one believes occurs after death, as it is an issue dealing directly with death. This also compels me to view this topic from the viewpoint of the later party.

1968 was the year that North Vietnam launched the Tet Offensive against the United States and South Vietnam, the year that Martin Luther King JR and Robert Kennedy were assassinated, the year that started student protests and riots, the year that Black Power salute occurred and finally, the year that Night of the Living Dead came out. You may be wondering why a film would have anything to do with these historic events that occurred in 1968. Well, Night of the Living Dead is a zombie horror film directed by George A. Romero, this film that Romero created was a game changer for the film industry it lead to something bigger than purely entertainment. Romero’s goal behind his low budget black and white film was to construct subtext about social issues such as the Vietnam War and many other issues that went on during 1968. Romero’s zombie film’s present a sense of the failure of human co-operation.

Me Earl and the Dying Girl, a novel written by Jesse Andrews, introduces Greg Gaines, a 17 year old loner, has miraculously passed through high school under the radar and without a scratch. Greg is clumsy, awkward and he sticks to his method of not being included in any social group at school, but knowing at least one person from each group. The only person Greg spends most of his time with is Earl whom he makes “really bad” films with. Earl, who comes from a wild and broken family speaks more wisdom throughout the novel than Greg who remains cynical. Greg refuses to call Earl his friend but rather his “co-worker” in respect that Greg stands by the fact that he doesn’t have any friends because he isn’t worthy of them. In a way, Greg seems very self concerned and doesn’t really pay attention to the issues of others.

In its opening credits, Spike Lee’s Clockers features photos of dead young black men sliding across the frame. These images of lifelessness are paired with a somber ballad with lyrics pondering a place of solace and understanding, a place inaccessible to the black male despite compliance or revolt. The viewer is confronted by this slideshow of bloodied black bodies for nearly three minutes. There are cuts to crowds at crimes scenes. People stand, talking or looking on in silence, seemingly desensitized to the spectacle of a dead youth, separated only by the yellow tape which commands them not to cross. The front cover of a newspaper appears on the screen, “TOY GUN, REAL TRAGEDY”-- a young boy killed in a case of misunderstanding. This evidence of a robbed childhood establishes the reality of the community depicted in the film. A community stricken by poverty the fear of imminent violence, it is home to main character Strike, and many other young men who are yet still boys. Clockers stands with other independent films in their allegiance to what critic Manthia Diawara terms “New Black Realism” (594). These films aim to translate authentic interpretations of black life, many

The cinematic film Get Out, directed by Jordan Peele, presents a scenario in which African Americans are targeted by white people mainly for their physical advantages. The plot follows Chris Washington, a professional African American photographer who goes away for the weekend to visit his white girlfriend’s family. Chris’ best friend, Rod Williams, is a TSA agent who is concerned about Chris going to a white family’s estate. Throughout the movie, Chris discusses to Rod the strange events that occur in the Armitage house. Get out displays how two people use their intelligence and ability to identify social cues to escape from an arduous situation.

The Get Down establishes inherent norms over time, creating rules that viewers internalize as defining the show’s storytelling strategies. For example, how each episode starts off with Zeke’s older self rapping a recap of the prior episode in a front of full audience at Madison Square Garden in New York. Being defined as a musical comedy and gritty prestige drama , if there was an episode in The Get Down where Shaolin Fantastic is not spinning turntables, Zeke is not rapping, or Mylene isn’t singing, it surprises the audience. Episodes that violate these norms stand out by in violating fan expectations. Because this is a common for the first half of the first season, viewers would expect music and drama in the second half. To understand The Get Down in its narrative importance, viewers must be operationally familiar to the show’s storytelling norms and consider the importance of individuality inside a formal narrative system, positing claims about how dysfunctional and dramatic it was to be a teenager of color in the capitalism dominated society of New York.

Nothing will ever go according to plan. Tests are failed, people are changed, loves are lost. As is the case with Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride, following the story of an elegiac young man, the son of newly rich fishmongers. Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp) is betrothed to Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), the daughter of penniless aristocrats, to heighten both of their families, and despite his initial terror, he falls in love with her. Unfortunately, Victor has a horrible time at the rehearsal and cannot remember his vows, leading him off into the words where, while practicing, he inadvertently puts the wedding ring on the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a young woman who was murdered on her wedding day for her parent 's money. Victor’s adventures in the land of the dead tear him between his new wife and his intended bride, while teaching him more about himself and those around him. Throughout the film, the elegantly lifelike clay figures portray the lifelessness of the living juxtaposed with the liveliness of the dead in Victorian Europe.

After slavery the second most controversial damaging system of oppression to a targeted race is the tragic killing of Jews called the Holocaust .After World War 1 Germany’s economy was shattered due to the Treaty of Versailles where Germany was forced to pay for all the expenses and damages from the war. Chancellor of Germany and dictator of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler believed that the extermination of Jews would lead to a prosperous Germany. He believed that the Jews in Germany were useless, worthless, and animal like. Adolf Hitler was a key factor and leader of the Holocaust; He led Germany’s military in the Final Project, killing 6 million Jews. Movies like Schindler’s list and Life is Beautiful are based off of the Holocaust. While Life is Beautiful and Schindler’s list both displayed the strife experienced by the Jews, Life is Beautiful included a fairytale story line for mere entertainment. Both movies depict the various stages of oppression experienced by the Jews and the unconscious fall into denial. However the movies differ considering point of view; Life is Beautiful is seen from the Jews view while Schindler’s list is seen from the eyes of a Nazi Entrepreneur. And lastly the presentation of violence was far more vulgar in Schindler’s List rather than Life is Beautiful.

Tarantino intentionally chose to create a film around despising Nazis because Nazis are a group that all the world agrees to hate, and agree that their actions and beliefs were evil, which makes Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime the gold standard of evil, that is why when people are referred to as Nazis, it’s not exactly to say they want to lock Jewish people up, it’s because the word Nazi itself has become synonymous with evil. So, to say Inglorious Basterds is a character centered historically inaccurate movie that uses war and Nazis as a backdrop to tell a narrative of evil being subjective.
