Men In Black is on my list of movies to see before you die because of its characters. Primarily the character Agent J, and the wit and comic relief that he provides. The movie shows that even if a character is used mostly for comedic value, they can still have complex views on how things are. This is shown in the iconic ‘Little Tiffany’ training scene in which J is presented with a simulation where an alleyway is flooded with aliens, and instead of shooting them,he chooses to shoot the cut out of the small girl instead. “Then I saw little Tiffany. I'm thinking, you know, eight year old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She’s about to start some shit Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are way too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something.”

The untouchables is a movie based on the true events that occurred when the eighteenth amendment was passed. The eighteenth amendment established the prohibition of production, transport, and sale of alcohol. The Federal Agent Eliot Ness wants to stop Al Capone, who is the top of organized crime. It was a hard job for Eliot Ness because Al Capone with his money bought many policemen, politicians, and other important people, therefore Eliot Ness could trust anyone. Eliot Ness had to choose no more than twelve men to form his squad. The Untouchables were formed by Eliot Ness, and another nine men he picked, they were called the Untouchables because they never accepted any bribes. Al Capone One of Al Capone’s men offered Eliot Ness $2,000 to stop interfering with the organization and an additional $2,000 if he continued to cooperate. Eliot Ness’s plan was to make an impact in the income of the gangsters, so they couldn’t pay for protection. (Biography.com)

In 1787, Royall Tyler released a play to the newly established American republic titled “The Contrast.” This was the first play to be completely written and performed by Americans, making it the first truly American play. At this point in the early republic, there was a large movement to make the early republic separate from the rest of the word. According to Kenneth Silverman in his work “A Cultural History of the American Revolution, literature was being advertised as being written by an American or as appealing to Americans, which is a reflection for how strongly these people wanted to create their own identity. As Silverman puts it, “If often nominal, ‘By an American’ was a powerful slogan that excited the market for American poetry, multiplying the number of American poems in print and prompting the publication of collected editions of earlier American poets.” (Silverman 493) The people wanted literature that originated in the republic. American literature was what got the markets buzzing. The people valued their identity as a people separate from the rest of the world and especially from Britain. Now the contrast, as I stated, was the first American play. This was interesting namely because plays had been looked upon as being something that reflects the British ideals. As is exemplified in the character Dimple, the British identity was that of someone who revels in luxury. Colonel Manly exemplifies the American identity of someone who gets ahead through their own hard

After writing my story, “The Newspaper,” I have learned about the importance of imagery and how to describe a place or scene without running on and on about it. I would have never have had this idea about writing the story, taking place in New York, without watching the movie, Taxi, starring Jimmy Fallon. I was able to use the movie as the setting for the story. The movie takes place in New York and that is how to whole idea of “The Newspaper” came about. There is a part in the movie in which the taxi driver is running red lights and blowing stops signs to get Jimmy to the police station as soon as possible. In relation to my story, Vince doesn’t got about his day like the last, today was a different day for him because he started to realized thing he has never payed any attention to, like all the sounds of sirens and horns honking.

On the 31st of March we watched the “Woman in Black” at the Fortune theatre in London, as part of our unit two assessment.

He learns about the death of Mrs Drablow and travels to the town of Crythin Gifford. Here he meets many petrified faces, too scared to about the woman in black.

In the video, the character we focused is Sheri. She was in the prison and has a crime for murder. She go to jail when she was thirteen and she have to get fined for twenty-eight years in the prison. She lived with her mother and stepfather. They regularly beaten her, that’s why she leave her house and lived on the street. Sheri has no chance to make money, it lead to she going to stole money and sold drug. One times, when she went with her boyfriend and occurs an innocent crime for her. The people that you communicate, the affected to you. Black when near the ink, bright when near the light. Sheri’s story combines all example of sociology, such as: different association, structure train, anomie, strain and labeling. First of all, we need to define what does it means. Edwin Sutherland coined the term differential association to indicate this: From the different groups with which we associate with, we learn to deviate from or conform to society’s norms. More clearly, the different groups with which we associate give us message about conformity and deviance. Base on the Sheri’s story, the evidence support for different association that Sheri is too young, but she already have a boyfriend and she join in her boyfriend’s group. Three more years, she has become an adolescent. Strain refers to the frustrations people feel when they want success but find their way to it blocked. It is easy to identify with mainstream norms (such as working hard or pursuing higher education) when

"Talk to Her," is an emotional story of two different men forced together by fate. Movie that explores the intimate relationship of two men brought together under same situations. The movie begins with two men watching a Pina Bausch dance piece called "Café Muller," in which two unconscious females twist and turn around the stage while two males move chairs and tables out of their way. One of the men in the audience is Benigno, and another one Marco. They do not know each other, but later they both became friends.

Comedic films and theatrical productions generally focus on the average human. This excludes people with extraordinary amounts of influence or power such as kings, queens or superheroes. Grecian comedy dissects the social or personal aspects of an average human’s life and uncovers their foibles and frailties. A minor weakness will usually lead to the character falling into some form of temptation which stands as the climax of the plot. This minor weakness of the character helps develop the storyline. For example, the play, Lysistrata, centers around the Grecian army and their wives. Aristophanes presents sex as a weakness of men and women in Greece in the play. The temptation for the army wives is to relinquish the sex strike that they

Even though the two character’s kiss on L.A. Law never saw a relationship form, they got praise from one group during the time period. “The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation hailed NBC, saying the ‘historic smooch makes attorney C.J. Lamb … the only recurring gay or bisexual female character currently on television” (Hastings, par. 2). The kiss, that lasted only a few seconds, was enough to give GLAAD a reason to celebrate.

Since the dawn of film, back in 1895, directors and filmmakers utilized every worldly element they could to have not only characters and the plot tell a story to the audience, but so the things that created the atmosphere contribute to the progression of the story as well. Manipulating the mise-en-scéne, or all of the elements that contribute to the atmosphere or mood of a film, in various degrees such as camera angles, editing technique, lighting, sounds, and color, can shift the mood of a scene and alter the audiences feeling. In most films, light can be symbolic and tell a story in a way that words couldn’t. As filmmakers use chiaroscuro, the arrangement of light and shadow to tell a story in a scene or film, to provoke or portray a certain emotion ranging from happiness, relief, sorrow, and even sinister. Sound manipulation enhances these emotions and contributes to the story enough to allow the audience to foreshadow. Examples of this can be found in early films such as Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, M, and Scarface.

The room became bright as the window gleamed off the trash and whatever else was on the small floor.

The film that I am choosing for this gender performances on film response is Thelma and Louise starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis. Th film came out in 1991 and is about House wife, Thelma, and waitress, Louise when they go on a trip to the mountains that goes wrong when a man tries to rape Thelma. After which Louise shoots and kills him, they then take off and plan to go to Mexico because they are running from the law. This film was the site of controversy when it was released because it made some men a little uncomfortable, but even with that the film was nominated for six Academy Awards and it won one of them. Now it is considered an important and classic film.
