During the end of the 3rd Century, the Playwright Plautus wrote many of the first Roman comedies. A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a musical comedy film adaptation of Plautus's comedies.Set in ancient Rome, many aspects of Roman theatre, including stock characters, were included in the film’s production. While the film is based off of multiple comedies, Plautus's Pseudolus character Calidorus is nearly identical to the film’s Hero.

Room is lasting because it will live forever, and in its endlessness, it will continue to motivate generations after we are all gone. It is one of the best films of the new millennium and after its two superior hours, you turn out to a person who has a new appreciation for the tiny miracles of life that are usually ignored. Room is a transitory moment in time and I will always remember it with affection because of there is no way in hell I am watching it again. Jack’s relationship with his Ma that gives both personifications of Room their force of feeling, and on these terms the movie is entirely successful. Larson drew well-deserved praise for her breakout performance as a counselor for troubled teens in “Short Term 12,” and the demands of that role, with its balance of tenderness and tough love, were in some ways an ideal warm-up for the startling display of mama-lion intensity she unleashes here.

Exit Through the Gift Shop is critical of how our culture values and judges artwork because of the degree to which expectations and others’ beliefs manipulate our interpretations of reality. The documentary demonstrates this phenomenon concerning art, but it also applies to all subjective experiences. Through Thierry’s opening gallery Life is Beautiful, Exit Through the Gift Shop shows how expectations and conformity manipulate our experiences.

Can you imagine being trap in one room with only a skylight as your source of the outside world? In “Room” directed by Lenny Abrahamson, a young mom and her five-year-old son being trapped in a room by her kidnapper. People seem to think this movie’s main character is a young child named Jack, but if you look at a different angle you can see that the mother is the main character. Her acts of heroism and ability to think for herself and her child show that she is the secret hero in this movie. Toward the beginning Jack is telling the story of his time in “room”; but without his mother’s story of getting taken and put in this “room”, he could not form his story.

Whether it is painting, drawing or sculpting, marginal art forms have become commodities. In addition, artists are becoming more popular for their fame rather than the content of their pieces. As artists have gone from creators to celebrities who happen to create, they are able to use their artwork to their own selfish benefit. In the Banksy film, “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, these issues are brought to life and help viewers realize that art as a commodity is not necessarily a good thing. When a marginal art form becomes commodified and a cult of celebrity emerges, the art loses its value and the genuine purpose and priorities are altered.

The way I see is that Americans are truly the villain in The Host. Americans do illegal, dangerous actions in Korean, which causes the monster, so Koreans did not like and support how the US operates in their country. For example, in the opening scene, an American ordered his Korean subordinate to dump all the dusty bottle into Han river. It is so crazy and irresponsible. Through the rest of the movie, there is an American doctor with a cross-eyed. That character looks like an idiot, and by extension make the country he represents look idiotic too. Finally, when the US Military in the film decided to use Agent Yellow to cleansing the area and to kill the monster. Koreans organized demonstrations to against the release of Agent Yellow by the

Conversely, the wide angle shots in the film provide viewers with a look at the superstar this is Madonna. From shots of fans waiting outside her hotel room to sweeping corridor shots before a performance that highlight her extensive crew, it is hard to Keshishian to escape using these shots to show viewers Madonna’s daily life on tour. When it comes to filming her live performances, however, Keshishian is unable to use any other shot because of the theatrics of the performance. Madonna herself acknowledges that her tour is like going to the theater, but as much as Keshishian tries to diversify the shots of her on stage, it becomes impossible. This only further plays into her larger-than-life persona, by providing viewers with a better understanding of why so many crew members are needed to bring this show to life and why so many fans appreciate her work. Every wide angle shot of her performance still manages to cut off some of the relevant details, whether it be dancers or background images. Her tour is unable to be fully captured on screen, much like she is unable to be fully captured on screen. Though Keshishian tries to include everything, it becomes impossible, a sentiment that viewers are forced to accept throughout the film because of Madonna’s popularity. Through the use of close-ups and wide angle shots, Keshishian is able to showcase ways viewers can differentiate between the performer Madonna and the person.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
