Source Analysis The primary source that I have chosen to analyze is a scene from the movie Grease. This movie was released in June of 1978 and is about a so-called good girl named Sandy falling in love with bad boy greaser Danny over the summer. Once it’s time for class to be back in session, they find out they attend the same high school and challenges face them as to how they can rekindle their prior romance with the eyes of their friends focused on them. Sandy is the typical good girl who obeys
barely-legal Disney stars, turned bad. Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine and James Franco, this film isn’t actually about spring break, rather it pokes fun at contemporary pop culture, while revealing deeper, underlying themes of racial and social roles. Spring break is merely a setting for the murderous, illegal activities that take place within the 94 minutes of runtime. Deeper connections are presented upon every view of this film; perhaps infinite perceptions
La Jetee is a science fiction short still picture film that was made by Chris Mark. The film is about "a man that is scarred by his childhood memory", which was set in World War III. The war takes place in Paris, France, where a bomb was dropped (Mark, La Jetee).

Since the beginning of time, there has always been gender roles in society. Back then women are supposed to stay home and do housework, are not supposed to work and have power. Slasher films are sub-genre of horror films that involves someone who is psychotic that stalks and murders random victims (typically women or teens) a day.

Introduction The fictional genre of post-apocalypse has been around for decades, going as far back as 1968 with the original Planet of the Apes. Since the inception of the genre, post-apocalyptic movies have offered a unique perspective on how civilization will carry on after near-extinction. Humanity is even a historic treasure trove of extinction like events. Looking back to 1347, it’s said that “As much as half of Europe may have died in a span of only four years” (1) during The Black Death. But
Mean Girls Analysis Mean Girls, a popular comedic film, is about high school drama in its highest form – wanting to be popular. It mainly follows a girl named Cady, a new student looking to make and please friends. She agrees to spy on one of her new friends’ enemies, Regina George, to help destroy her life. However, along the way, Cady finds herself becoming more and more like Regina George and the rest of the “plastics” or the mean girls. In this paper, there’s going to be an analysis of this
An Evaluation of Grease My film that I choose was Grease because it contains music, dancing and humor. It is a cross between comedy and teen movies. It is a tribute to the Broadway show of the 1950's. It was directed by Randal Klieser and was released on July 7th 1978. The music and dance scenes are what attracted me to Grease. My favorite characters are John Travolta and Jeff Conaway who play Danny and Kenickie. I like these two because they are your typical high school
two females this time are fifteen-year-old school girls. That description, true as it is, does the film insufficient justice – in fact it is, in a sense, misleading. We all have seen plenty of sensitive adolescents, especially girls, and in terms of content or plot, this film has little new to offer. Yet it is a small prize.” (Kauffman 2012) This film is much more than two Mexican females growing up in the district of Los Angeles. These young girls are demonstrating two total different lifestyles

movie Out of the Past directed by Jacques Tourneur fits within the traditions of film noir because it has some similar themes associated with it, such as doomed love. Robert Mitchum plays the doomed, double-crossed , ex-private eye as Jeff Markham. The femme fatale is played by Jane Greer as Kathie Moffat, who is trying to escape her future. Kirk Douglas as Whit Sterling plays the ruthless gangster czar in the film. The formal cinematic elements in the movie are used to vividly describe the movie
