Analyzing The Movie 'The Magnificent Seven'

On November 8, 2017 the Office of Social Justice and Activism hosted their Under the Lights: Diversity in Sports Series. This presentation mostly focused on team logos that are offensive and the diversity of players on a sports team. As someone who does not care about sports in any capacity, I was not excited to attend this presentation, but it still taught me a lot.

Studios know that if a movie does well the first time, it is likely to do well the second time and even the third time. King Kong is no exception. Producers can presume that the glory of the original will pass on to the remake since audiences hope for that feeling again. Whether the movie is better or not doesn’t matter. Audiences will go to see King Kong over the years because the remakes are associated with the original.

In my opinion, I feel that this movie, compared to today’s standards, is poor quality. From the 1980’s to the current time, the Hollywood industries and other movie producers have made astronomical improvements with every film released, and ever since

Should the narrator of “The Seventh Man’ forgive himself for his failure of saving K?

Imagine the world is invaded by aliens. Some of them eat humans, some live among humans, and others live outside of our world. You don’t know it, but many of the people who have shaped our lives and our culture aren’t even human themselves. This is the world of the 1997 film Men in Black, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Men in Black is a sci-fi comedy about a group of enforcement agents defending and regulating aliens from invading Earth. But if you take their costume off, Men In Black can be seen as far more than a comedy about space aliens. Under the lens of postcolonial criticism, the film reveals itself to be a veiled, political commentary on immigration. A lens is a way for us to look at a piece of literature in a whole new depiction that we may not have thought of the first time we had read or watched a piece of literature. Through the postcolonial lens, I can see the movie as a biased contrast between the immigrants and the immigration police. Interpreting the movie through this lens allows me to see that the Men in Black are the immigration police, and are considered to be the protagonists of the film. On the other hand, the aliens, or immigrants when looking through the lens, are the antagonists of the movie; The Men in Black protect the US from bad aliens, giving immigration police the positive reinforcement of the brutal evictions immigrants received in the 90s.

I believe that this action packed blockbuster that gave Leonardo DiCaprio an Oscar is boring. I believe this not because it has a poor scenery or bad acting, the acting is phenomenal and the scenery and special effects are very detailed and

The documentary “13th” is a film that focuses on how the prison system is another form of slavery in the United States. It's informative interviews and discussions surrounding the hidden clause in the thirteenth amendment seek to reveal the covert racism that plays a huge role within the prison system and how it has impacted black communities.

The movie “Gone with the Wind” is about a rich southern girl named Scarlett O’Hara and her life hardships set during the time-period of the Civil War. In the story, Scarlett is forced to watch helplessly as her family’s wealth and lives fade as the confederacy loses the Civil War. Even though, the movie is mainly centered on the dilemmas of Scarlett’s love life, there are many historical accuracies that immerse the viewer in the southern mindset as well as the timeframe. The portrayal of class structures and the confederate attitudes before the Civil War are both accurate and engaging details that the movie successfully implements. In the film, these examples are displayed mainly through the dialogue and setting.

Western and cowboy movies are two of the oldest types of movie genres ever made. People have long had a fascination with the wild west and its lawlessness and often like to revisit it by watching these kinds of movies. So many have been made that at times it might feel like nothing new can be added to these stories and an attempt to do so is just revisiting old hat. The Magnificent Seven makes an attempt at not only adding to the lineage of western movies but also retells a story of a movie considered by some to be a classic. The Magnificent Seven might not live up to the original movie in the minds of movie critics and typical western movie fans. To the nontypical western fan that did not see the original it can still hit all the right notes of action, slight comedy, and violence to keep their interest. Add to that fact we end up watching a truly diverse group of misfit cowboy grow together to become heroes for a small western town. The total package is enough for

The movie I will be analyzing’s is the Incredibles I will be using this one because it has many communication concepts in it. The scene I will be using is the dinner when they all sit down and talk about there day. I will also be using the scene when dash and his mother are called in to meet the principal. I will be discussing these five communication concepts such as script, environment , stereotype ,interruption, and stimuli. Both these scene can help me prove that through out my paper. I will be talking about the parent methods of the Incredibles through and how they get caught in situation because of there environment.

Secretariat was a American Thoroughbred stallion, born on the 30th of march 1970, who had his owners Penny Chenery and Christopher Chenery, his Trainer Lucien Lurin, his carer Eddy Sweat and of course his jockey Ron Turcotte. He won the triple crown which means winning the Kentucky Derby, the Churchill Downs and Belmont Stakes in a row, which was held by his mother ‘Something Royal’ who held that record for twenty-five years. Secretariat suffered a degenerative disease of the inner tissues in his hooves called laminitis, which is a very painful condition and usually cannot be cured. Secretariats father was a hall of fame American race horse ‘Bold Ruler’. Later on, in the years Secretariats time was over he then sadly passed away on the 4th of October 1989.

You think you know the movie The Incredibles where Buddy Pine tries to destroy the city and kill everyone in it well you’re wrong cause you haven't heard my side of the story yet. You think you’ve heard the right story about what happened I was only trying to save the city not destroy it The Incredibles have the story all wrong I am the good guy and they are the bad guys and i'm gonna tell you why. This is how it all started when I was 10 years old I got to meet Mr. Incredible and he was my hero and all I wanted was to work with him and be apart of his team. Mr. Incredible yelled at me back and said “No one wants you dumb kid I work alone..” That destroyed me as a kid and like they say sometimes your hero turns into your enemy and in this case that is true.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

The Incredibles(Bird, 2004), while more progressive in its message than previous Disney projects, fails to fully embrace progressive ideas in its characters or how they affect the story. The Incredibles when seen through its adherence to gender roles and inability to put real influence in its female characters removes possible story strength when given to a female audience when put in comparison with the story structure of Frozen(Buck & Lee, 2013). In Frozen, the two most influential characters are women and sisters in contrast to the focus being put on the patriarch of the family. Some may look at The Incredibles as equally as progressive as Frozen given the family dynamic changes to put a more equal weight of responsibility across gender lines, and allows the female characters to show strength while the male characters can show weakness. When compared to Frozen, The Incredibles does not fully embody progressive ideals. This is primarily due to the differing family dynamics in each film and the dependence on patriarchal characters for substantive plot development in The Incredibles.

The movie in which I chose to do my movie analysis on was not one from the list provided. However, it is one of my all-time favorite movies The Band of Brothers a miniseries by HBO. I chose to do this one over the other because not only is it very entertaining and keeps you want to watch more, just to see what happens to everyone invaded but also because of the history be hide the story. The fact that they used real life experiences to help make the film just made it that much better. I watch The Band of Brothers at least a few times a year so I was happy to do this assignment.
