Dazed And Confused: Movie Analysis

Dr. Strangelove is one of the many masterpieces made by the great Stanley Kubrick. The movie was made in 1964 at the Shepperton Studios in London, UK. The time the movie was made is of great importance, in fact, it was made only two years after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kubrick pictures, in an extremely comical yet somewhat serious way, what the world would look like after one of the two forces (U.S vs. USSR) was triggered in initializing nuclear warfare.

Oh gosh!!! There were so many things wrong with this movie, I am not even sure where to begin. So, "Vacation" is the seventh in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" series, and this one should have most definitely remained in the ether. This newest offering is hallmarked by the deirectorial debut of John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstien, both of which have been tapped to write the newest Spider-Man reboot, which if this movie was any indication of what is to come, does in no way bode well for poor ol' Spidey.

The movie, The DUFF, is a typical high school movie that revolves around a senior girl named Bianca who at the beginning of the movie is completely contented with who she really was. She had two very attractive and popular best friends who were Jess and Casey. The story all began when Madison, aka the mean popular girl who seeks for attention at school invited them to a night party at her house. Well at first, Bianca doesn’t want to come. As she heard that her crush Toby will be there; she was forced to come. During the party, Wesley, who is her childhood friend whom she doesn’t like that much come to talk to her.

In the 2005 film The Wedding Crashers directed David Dobkin show many normal gender stereotypes and gender inequalities that are still present in today’s society. The film mainly focuses on two divorce mediators Jeremy and John, who enjoy sneaking into wedding parties in order to get drunk off free booze and seduce bridesmaids. Certainly, the film exposes the bromance relationship that Jeremy and John have, which opposes the hegemonic masculinity that society is accustomed to. Their attendance at Secretary Williams’s party exhibits the patriarch of a white, rich, and powerful man. And lastly the concept objectification is the way men view women that is sexually without any emotion mixed. Women are also

Two of the six movies addressed in my presentation have female writers: Mean Girls (Tina Fey) and Clueless (Amy Heckerling). All six of these movies are directed by men. This is troubling, because while there are women who could have input on how the story should be told, the plots and characters of young females are ultimately developed by grown men who have never lived though the teen years of a girl victimized by the cruelty of high school.

The movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is based in the 1970s. It depicts the highly male dominated broadcast team and shows the shake up when a woman is hired as a reporter and has aspirations of becoming an anchor the television station. The particular scene shows Ron Burgundy is flustered because Veronica Coringstone is impeding on his masculinity. Burgundy exemplifies hegemonic masculinity by explaining he is a man and a professional, when Coringstone says he his acting like a baby he takes offense and explains he is a man and he his ultimately better than a women because indeed he is a man. Burgundy states, “'I’m a man who discovered the wheel, and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am.

I would say that the genre of Clueless is a romantic comedy. Clueless starts off as mainly a comedy with it jokes and light atmosphere but later off begins to mix it up with some romances. At the Beginning of the film, story begins to unfold and has a lot of jokes in it. One example is how Cher states that once she gets her driver licenses, she would become a better person by not running over animals anymore. As the film progresses, relationships begin start or deepens with a mix of jokes here and there. An example of this is when Dionne drives on the freeway. At first Cher, Dionne and Murray begins to hilariously freak out as they enter the freeway. At the end of the scene Dionne and Murray makes out while Cher notices how important love

Clueless is a movie about a young snob, rich, and over confident teenage high school girl named

In the story of mice and men we took a look at two friends by the name of George and Lennie. George is a quick minded fellow with a loud personality but a necessarily shy attitude.

The two men knew they had to ditch town so they high tailed it south and hitched a bad bus ride which ultimately landed the two to sleeping in the woods.

There were many similarities between the books Breakfast at Tiffany’s the film. The film Breakfast at Tiffany’s was a traditional translation which is a close translation of the book, but with minor detail changes in the way the director sees fit. The director possibly created these differences to make the film more palatable and relatable to a broader audience. The film did a great job adapting the novel. Many scenes in the book were adapted exactly how I pictured it. For example, her landlord, Mr. Yunioshi, who was infuriated every time she interrupted him in her apartment by ringing his bell, they casted his role beautifully and he appeared exactly as I pictured. First I will discuss the similarities, the

(a) Description: Catch-22 has two climaxes which occur simultaneously. The first climax happens when Yossarian receives the choice by Colonel Cathcart: He can either go home, or face the court-martial. The exact details of the choice twist the decision so Yossarian will lose either way.

In order to fulfill Yossarian’s mission requirement, his unfulfilled missions will spread evenly and flown by everyone in Yossarian’s squadron. Yossarian will return a war hero, but not before forcing his comrades into unnecessary danger. If he refuses the
