Bang Gang Film Techniques

When you picture a teenager you picture fighting, drinking, or answering back, am I right? However, this is simply not the case. Sure there is the minority of trouble makers. However this minority is exaggerated due to the news showing only this behaviour. This stereotyping has found its audience and crept into television shows and series. This has led to the creation of a mockumentary called “Summer Heights High” which has unfairly represented teen

Teens are rebellious troublemakers. It’s just something that’s in their blood. Each one shows it in a different way. There are many movies that show teens coming of age and going through this phase. “Rebel Without A Cause”,“American Graffiti”,  “Breaking Away”, and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” all show how teens are growing up.

It shows us how these values and ideals can be achieved, however, IMO, lacks to focus on anything that may entice teenage thought.

The first theme explored by voguel is infidelity. The father, played by Paul Bisesi, is essentially ‘removed’ from the family, as his focus and desire lays in his mistress Sheila. Where the children are represented by puppets, directly influenced by Japanese

Throughout the film, common tragedies of a black community plagued with gangs are shown, such as violence, police brutality, poverty, and racism. Because of this, Boyz N the Hood initially appears to just be another typical film about the perils of black communities and a character’s mission to escape. However, it is seen through the main characters that Singleton places an importance on the role of fathers and the lack thereof within black families; this is still relevant today as

A concept of a stereotypical teenager in the 20th century was to grow up through childhood but not surpass the values, beliefs and attitudes of a typical adult. In the 1998 film, the audience is shown a great selection of characters, symbolism and setting which reinforces the idea of a teenage role that shows a new perspective that affects society.

It has not been too long ago that I still remember my adolescent years. I always remember the unintelligent things I did that I wish could change, but this Psychology class made me realize that all adolescents go through the same things I experienced. Adolescents are known to try to find their identity, go through peer pressure, make mistakes, and try new things. The move I picked that closely represented what adolescents go through was “Mean Girls”. Some of the scenes in the movie seem a little exaggerated, but it has happened in certain high schools even though I had not experienced it personally.

It’s a very difficult thing for adults to write accurate and believable teenage characters. Often times, people my age are written to be significantly too stereotypical. Apparently, the middle aged white men who write most of these movies think every single teenager in high school is either an athlete with no passions other than sports or a nerd who has never looked up from a book. As someone who has only been out of high school for 6 months, I feel pretty confident in saying those stereotypes rarely exist in real life.

The film is suitable for a wide range of age groups, as anyone can enjoy the genre, however is targeted at adolescents (12+). This is because anyone can enjoy the genre of crime movies, however features which target it at adolescents include popular, well known actors, and an enticing and gripping story line.

Teenagers are more than capable of achieving great tasks in the future as well as causing great destruction with every skill stapled in their mind as they grow. Good and evil will determine the effects of which path a young mind its taught so that’s why parents must educated well with good intensions for a better future. The age of a teenager shows history how it transformed the world including the United States by family values, the high school, and dangerous adolescences etc. What teenagers did was start a fashion changing the world and its rules, becoming rebellious toward their parents values for

The movie gives the message that women must do acknowledge their responsibilities towards themselves, which can and should never be neglected or postponed for the sake of anyone or anything. Nothing in this world is worth sacrificing your own aspirations for. A person’s greatest assets are self-respect, dignity and individuality. Woman should safeguard her identity by not letting her individuality get submerged and by keeping her priorities intact all her life and creating a place for herself.

She grew up in Africa and was home schooled her whole life untill one day her family moves back to the States and she enrolls in a high school in a suburb outside of Chicago. This funny movie shows the thoughts of a girl who has lived in the jungle, and comes to a reality where the jungle seems to be civilized as she is involved in a variety of situations where it is played with psychological warfare, and social rules. Although it is a fictional film, the resemblance to reality is very close. Moreover, the film addresses the main issues that arise in a real high school such as; friends, boyfriends, betrayal and superficiality, elements that allow us to interpret reality. This film is an example of a coming-of-age film as the protagonist is trying to find belonging in her new

Just as there is a male gaze, there is also a female gaze. Mulvey argues that, “... such arguments don’t consider how insistently women are presented as sexual objects” (Monash). And yet many continue to argue that genres such as romantic comedies invalidate the male gaze’s offensiveness because it sexualizes men in the same way women are. In response Mulvey points out that, “... female viewers are not invited to desire male bodies, instead, they’re positioned, to identify with a heroine that is desired by a man” (Monash). Take the widely popular Love Actually. One of the most prominent romantic comedies in the industry, it follows several storylines of characters falling in love. Though good natured in spirit, the movie’s assigned gender roles pose a problem. The relationship between the latina maid, Aurelia, who doesn’t speak English, and novelist, Jaime is purely physical. Due to the language barrier, they never have an actual conversation and in fact Jaime doesn’t even admit that he’s in love with Aurelia until she strips and jumps in the lake to retrieve his papers. After Jaime leaves, Aurelia learns English, but doesn’t pursue a better situation, instead choosing to wait for him to return. It displays the woman as dependent with a future dependent on the man. Prime Minister, David, and house staffer, Natalie’s, relationship should also be examined. The romance plays on the boss/subordinate trope. It
