A red Camaro sits somewhere rusting in a police lot, a tree having grown up in the middle of it, yet still oblivious as to the grief it has caused. Sometimes it’s something as little as a car to make people do things as atrocious as taking another life. In his film, Into the Abyss, Werner Herzog does more than just explore the murder case against two boys, Michael Perry and Justin Burkett, but rather take into account the complexity and reasoning behind the murders, along with the morality behind the death penalty. The film refuses to use any graphic images or over-the-top scenes to drive its point across, but rather creeps along with its own unique imagery, complex subject matter, and Werner’s ethical compassion about how people and their motivations.

The movie Bashu: A Little Stranger, is a heartwarming commentary written and directed by Bahram Beizai in 1989 on the effects of war, love, and racism in a small village community in Iran. Beizai challenges the widely accepted Iranian identity through stars Susan Taslimi as Naii, Bashu’s adopted mother and Adnan Afravian as Bashu. The film boasts a simple plot, yet the societal critiques are strong and apparent. It takes place during the Iraq-Iran war, a war brought forth from long standing border conflicts and fears of revolution. Many critics agree that Bashu is a timeless film. Although produced in 1989, this situation could happen at any point in time.

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.

Post-war Japanese society is a world where High and Low art is blurred together by otaku, such as anime, and social class. However, Takashi Murakami straddles the line. Murakami spills a mix of Nihanga and Otaku into the canvases, plastic toys, handbags, shoes, etc; endorsing his own theory/style named “Superflat”. Using strategical subject matter such as popular Japanese comic figures combined with ukiyo-e(traditional Japanese block prints), and addressing these contrasting qualities to outside cultures; Murakami intensifies what Pop Art accomplished, art versus material. On other feelings, one could argue that “Superflat” isn’t a unique, Japan-identified style, that “Superflat” is a humiliation to the Contemporary Art world because of its commercialism. Lastly, that is a continuation of the already well developed Pop Art. On the supporting side, Murakami’s “Superflat” is a high-energy, cross-culture style that serves as a new way to represent the high and low of art that is considerably unique to Japan. To support this, Murakami’s past and present artwork will have to be established chronologically to illustrate how the timeline affects his work.

The Red Turtle is a film records the life of a young man who becomes marooned on a desert island about fate and family.

The director Michaël Dudok de Wit utilizes several artistic techniques to make the film insightful and interesting. Although the film is in entire silence, no dialogue, context, or even names, the artistic production and aesthetics produce information that breaks silence.

The 2005 film, Jarhead focuses on the life of the protagonist Marine, Anthony Swafford. The viewer watches as Swofford endures the vicious training to be a US Marine, which eventually leads to his deployment in Kuwait in to fight the 1990 Gulf War. Undoubtedly, many aspects of the film link back to Gender, however for the purpose of this critical review, I will be focusing on the way in masculinity in Jarhead serves to highlight key ideas about hierarchy and freedom. Although broadly defined, I have interpreted ‘masculinity’ as men being expected to behave with particular characteristics, such as being strong, heroic, protective, and rational. This review will argue that through the focus on Gender, particularly masculinity, Jarhead provides a critique of the military’s dependence on masculinity as a means of shaping the ‘worth’ of men, an aspect which often leads to emotional and mentally isolation and entrapment, as well as raising questions about the masculinity of the state. Moreover, Jarhead criticises how the repression of aggressive masculinity, as fuelled and promoted military training, can have consequences, as the men do not have an outlet for this aggressive masculinity, for example, combat.

There is a common phrase that says, “Every mind is its own world” and although it’s a short phrase it has a strong meaning. Sometimes the population is fast to judge someone that believes in something outside the “normal” common things. Every year around the world we have the opportunity to learn about the many different traditions that other countries practice. While those traditions might be different than what we are used to, every tradition plays a special role in their hearts. The film Coco (2017) was released a couple months ago and everyone was amazed by the message that it delivered. It shows the importance of appreciating other worldly traditions and being able to understand what it represents for them. Just like Halloween has become a tradition in the United States, El Dia de los Muertos is a tradition that is recognized and appreciated in Mexico. Every year during the first days of November, most families get together and build an altar for their beloved deceased family members. Appreciation is a characteristic trait that was definitely displayed in this film. Editing and Sound, Acting and Cinematography were three elements that really supported the message that the director intended to deliver.
