Singing in the Rain and A Clockwork Orange are both Classical Hollywood films. However, singing in the Rain closely follows what classical Hollywood film is supposed to be and A Clockwork Orange definitely tests the idea. Classical Hollywood Cinema is a type of traditional studio based style of making films in both the sound and silent periods. The directors of these types of films want you to simply watch and not worry about why the characters are doing what they’re doing. They want you to enjoy what you’re watching. They are also filmed with a sort of structure in the beginning the characters are all introduced to the viewers. There are then complications or conflict added to the plot. Then the resolution occurs where the conflict of the film has a confrontation and the protagonist ways his or her options. Finally, all major conflicts and issues in the film are resolved and generally the protagonist lives happily ever after. While the protagonists live happily ever after the antagonists of the films are punished from their actions throughout the film.

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.

Nathanial Ayers portrayed the “textbook” diagnosis of schizophrenia appropriately throughout the movie. During The Soloist, Nathanial experienced hallucinations and delusions. Individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia can experience symptoms. Nathanial would hear voices inside of his mind, telling him he was not talented enough to perform at Julliard. Nathanial also had delusional thoughts about his family trying to poison and kill him. There are positive and negative symptoms related to schizophrenia (Reed, 2014). Nathanial displayed signs of more positive symptoms of schizophrenia rather than negative symptoms. Nathanial would get overly excited about Beethoven and classical music. When Nathanial talked about

Humorous, energetic, enjoyable and all-around fun, Legally Blonde: The Musical captured my attention from the get-go. This comical yet heartwarming musical portrays the story of a young woman following an ex-love to Harvard Law School only to realize the potential she possessed within herself and in the new life she creates for her own. After viewing this hit Broadway production, I am fascinated with how this theatre play was brought to life on stage with the lighting, sound, spacing and overall entertainment from the cast to the costumes. Altogether, this play is one of my all-time favorite productions and it is one that keeps my attention from the moment it takes off to the closing of the curtain at the end.

“Do you ever feel like there is a different person inside of you just waiting to come out?” Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) says to her friend Taylor Mckessi (Monique Coleman) after receiving a call back in the Twinkle Town musical in the 2006 film, High School Musical. High School Musical is a romantic musical drama about a group of high school friends who stick to the status quo until the new girl comes to East High. This movie will have you tapping your toes and singing its tunes well beyond the theatre.

Overall, I believe “Loving” was a fantastic movie. I enjoyed watching it, and it was fascinating throughout. I was very interested to learn the story behind Richard and Mildred Loving and the pivotal struggle they had to face in their lives.

Ludacris does a remarkable job of portraying his message about the struggles that some adolescents are faced with. “Runaway Love”, by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige (2007), represents the theme of struggle through hip-hop and rap music. It is about little girls who are “stuck up in the world on their own.” They have to take care of themselves because the people they are around do not care about them. They range from nine to eleven years in age, and their goal in life, at such a young age, is to run away from home. Ludacris is trying to get the listener to realize the struggles that even children have to face because adults are not the only ones who have problems, like most people believe. He is very successful in

Throughout the history of the world, societies have always tried to imagine a utopian way of life and/or society. But in other cases, the use of raunchy apparel and countless bottles of alcohol are used to deny the idea of an uprising of a totalitaristic government. This is a brief summary of the two-hours and four minutes of the musical drama Cabaret, directed by Bob Fosse.

In 1941 Rodgers was approached by the Theatre Guild to write a musical version of a show they had previously commissioned, Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs.

The song "The message" by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five depicts the struggle of young black adults growing up in society. The struggle to make it out of poverty can be compared to survival of the fittest in a jungle. Only the strong would survive and adapt to the changes to fit in. Trying their best to make a betterment with whatever little society offers. Being a young black African American in the early 1980's was not easy. It was easier to live the fast life and gain fast money by being part of the drug community. Drugs, guns, and money was glamorized and this is what the young adults looked at as a means of getting rich. In the songs, a young man talks about how he is trying hard to hold on to the little bit of sanity he has left in his soul. He talks about the struggle he endures while trying not to get pushed over the edge. He was born an innocent child who's blind to the ways of mind kind. Growing up he faced many challenges and had to fight

The movie, The Breakfast Club, is a movie about five students who get Saturday school and become friends as a result of it. The characters were: Allison, the quiet girl who would sit in the back and refuse to talk; John, the troublemaker who always talked back to the teachers; Claire, the popular girl who always got what she wanted; Brian, the nerdy student who only cared about having good grades; Andrew, the wrestler who was only focused impressing his father. While watching the movie, I mainly related to Brian. He is pressured to have good grades by his parents and is labeled as the nerd because of it. I am also pressured to have good grades; however, I am labeled as the smart kid in many different classes, but I’m not classified as a nerd.
