     The following paper will analyze the movie, “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Stanley Kubrick” and “The Centinel” by Arthur C. Clarke. Although there are many themes present between the story and the film, the following are the most dominant. I will be discussing Scientific themes, Religious and Moral Themes, and Clarke’s development of the short story into a full-length film.

Arthur C. Clarke, an award-winning author, in his novel, 2001: A Space Odyssey, suggests that human evolution would not have been possible without the help of extra-terrestrial beings and the use of tools. Clarke is able to support his suggestions by narrating the influence the extraterrestrials have on humans and by describing the importance of the tools humans utilize. His purpose was to share his take on the final frontier in order to help readers make their own opinions and conclusions on evolution and deep space. Clarke utilizes a direct and scientific tone with his audience in a way to help them follow along, so that they don’t lose focus on the important themes throughout the novel.

Another sub-audience who needed more guidance and consolation were the schoolchildren, especially those watched the disaster live. He briefly changed his tone to that of a parent and tried to ease the children’s fear by explaining “sometimes painful things like this happen”, but nonetheless we will continue our space exploration because “the future doesn’t belong to the

“The Mission” is a film that gives a historically accurate depiction of the events that took place in South America around 1750, displaying the jesuit missions and their attempt at expanding missionary ventures in the area. These missions foresaw the Jesuits going to uncharted areas of the jungle inhabited by the Guarani people, demonstrating the significance assimilating the Guarani people meant to the Jesuits. Additionally, the Guarani people were accurately displayed as a self-sustained society where basic components such as: productivity, protection, justice regulations and a form of a leader was evident in the form of their King. Nonetheless, the Guarani were an isolated group of individuals who were secluded to the outside world; their only contact with outside personnelles were slave traders who would put them into forced slavery for personal benefits. Not to mention the “Treaty of Madrid”, which resulted in the social and political disputes between the, Portuguese, Spanish and Catholic community; manifesting in the form of territorial conflicts and misunderstandings amongst the three vigorous societies, where each have a different purpose for the Guarani people.

Domestic violence, sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, sexual harassments and rape are all forms of violence against women. These atrocious acts against women and children have been dated back to when African Americans were apart of the institution of slavery. Compare to males, female slaves are subject to have sexual encounters with their masters. In Harriet Jacobs, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, we are able to witness enslavement in the perspectives of a female slave. Moreover, it unveils how masters felt like they had total control over a female slave’s mind and body. As time progressed, women became more empowered and independent in the Unites States. However, women are still subject to violence and gender inequality in many parts of the world. The film, “Half the Sky” portrays how women and girls in poverty-stricken countries such as India and Vietnam, face a plethora of hardships that prevents them from obtaining an education. They are inferior to men and are expected to stay at home to care for their family. The film also depicts how women and children are trafficked for the purpose of sexual and labor exploitations.

The Dawn of Man. Four simple words introduced what is remarked as one of the greatest films of all time. There is no spoken dialogue within the first 25 minutes and the last 23 minutes of the film. “2001: A Space Odyssey” is an ambiguous film. The broad range of audience captures various interpretations of the film. The main theme seems to be about the evolutionary process of mankind interwoven with elements of a higher or extraterrestrial entity guiding this evolution. There are some film theories that suggest this movie was all propaganda used in conjunction with the space race that occurred during World War 2. Some even go as far as to say that the same set used in “2001: A Space Odyssey” was used to fake the moon landing of 1969. However, theories with more evidence suggest that the iconic monolith doesn’t represent aliens or “God”, but instead represents the cinema screen of which we are viewing. The artistic importance of “2001: A Space Odyssey” is derived from its ability procure various conclusions.

Let yourself be transported to the future where drought, famine and disasters run rampant on Earth. The only way to ensure that the people of Earth survive is a journey into the depths of space. A story of survival, hardships, and triumph this is Interstellar. This film was directed by Christopher Nolan in 2014. To fully understand how this film uses the fundamentals of moviemaking to make a complete and complex film I will be discussing the elements of narrative, mise en scene, cinematography, acting, editing and sound.

‘Touching The Void’ is a documentary based on a true story about two men called Joe Simpson and Simon Yates who climbed on the west face of Siula Grande (6,344m) in the Cordillera Huayhuash in the PeruvianAndes. The first five minutes of the documentary is very effective because it draws you in and makes you want to watch the rest of the documentary, the director does this by using a lot of effective techniques. The techniques used are Photography, Camera angles, Music and sound effects, Narrative, Language, Tone and Structure.

In contrast to a utopia, according to the power point provided in class a dystopia is “an imaginary place where people live dehumanized and often fearful lives.” The movies The Matrix, 1999 and Avatar, 2009 overall seem to me as dystopian films. To show how each film portrays the different aspects of perspectives on the future, and a dystopia, I’m going to use the settings, actions, and outcomes of each film.

Christopher Nolan is credited as being an illusionist in the way that he directs his films. Inception and The Prestige are two of his films that will keep you pausing and rewinding for the duration while you try to keep up with the complex story lines and mind bending conclusions. Both films share a dark and sinister vibe,putting them amongst the neo noir genre of films, and The Prestige being set in an ominous, turn of the century London, and Inception based around extracting thoughts from the depth of minds it is no wonder they follow such shadowy themes.

The film “The Prestige” is one of many masterful Nolan films that walks the line between being a meta film about the film industry, and being focused on immersing the audience in the actual content of the film. At a close inspection, comparisons to the film industry can be seen, but they are not so obvious to distract the audience from the central conflicts that are at the forefront of the film. The subject of the film could most easily be defined as surrounding the topics of obsession or fame. More specifically, the obsession of fame, and the illusion of happiness that fame projects. The main characters of the movie both urn for the fame of being the world’s most successful entertainer, even if for different reasons.

To begin, the advancements in the movie are somewhat comparable towards today’s technology, but there are a few fixations that we are far off from doing. The movie gives us an insight look of what could be accomplished if we turn in the right direction. “Interstellar” (Obst,Thomas & Nolan, 2014) shows space stations that sustain a large amount of human life to create or prepare for the next generation to come. They show how robots can help grow and maintain crops, and they are also now companions on space
