Eng 225 Week 3 Final Film Critique Outline

There’s no doubt that Star Wars is one of the most impactful films of all time, having changed the movie-making game ever since it premiered in 1977. It quickly became a global phenomenon and has accumulated some of the most passionate fans in the universe. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is a great example to use in order to illustrate the properties discussed throughout the course. In this paper, I will analyze the entire movie. To begin, I will start by giving some basic information about the motion picture, such as the director and type of film. Next, I will provide a brief summary of the film.

1. Why do you think so many people are diagnosed with mental illness in the criminal justice system? Why do you think so many offenders in the criminal justice system suffer from mental illness?

These characters possess more depth, such as stories ,and pasts because the characters ransform. Ford displays that westerns can be a legitimate genre laced with drama. His ability to suggest topics, rather than blatantly disobey production code makes this film unconventional and mature. Dallas’ character displays how many women have to rely on prostitution to survive because of the depleting economy and lack of jobs for women. It is not directly stated, but implied. Dallas is a complex because she does not allow her situation to hinder her from living her life. Although she escapes the western town because of local disapproval, she attempts to keep her kindness and grace. In the face of criticism, she is able to aid Miss Mallory in her birth and protect her child. Dallas’ character is able to present she is just more than just a prostitute. Ringo Kid not only challenges

The narrator decided to shoot the elephant because he realized he will lose face and be humiliated if he does not shoot it.

Similarly as with hardwood and softwood sizes, plywood sizes can be to some degree confounding. Plywood sheets normally sold as four-feet wide, yet are infrequently found in two and five-foot widths. Likewise, a plywood sheet's length is generally eight-feet, however a few suppliers convey four and twelve-foot lengths. Metric sizes are additionally accessible.

As far as the impact on society, having not seen the entire film I really cannot say that it has any impact, but from viewing the clips I would think that it would not have an impact one way or the other on anything as it is a comedy and not a documentary.

EXTRACT: INT – Sebastian’s Building, starting with the shot of Deckard climbing up the wall. Duration: 9 minutes

The director pulls the viewer into the struggle to survive and what it feels like to be hunted like animals.

While Jack Nicholson managed to create the image of a drunken psychotic writer, the other two members of the Torrance family, played by Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd, look awkward and forced. In the case of Danny Lloyd, it can be expected of him because of his age and obvious lack of acting experience; however, Shelley Duvall in this movie falls short of her best. In most action scenes, her acting looks factitious, and sometimes inappropriate, which can be irritating. This makes a significant counter balance to Nicholson’s character that is persuasive, such as in the famous scene when he breaks through the bathroom door with a fire ax. This is, perhaps, one of the best and most well known scenes in the entire

In the beginning of The Big Short movie, it explained that in the 1970s a new way to finance mortgages was created. These newly financed mortgages were now called mortgage-back secures. Michael Burry reviewed these mortgage-back securities, only to find that they were compiled of very risky mortgages. Banks started to fill the bonds with subprime mortgages, which were just bad mortgages. Seeing that a number of the mortgages were subprime home loans, he knew that there was a high chance that they would default. He found that the housing market was being supported by these bad loans which lead him to know that when these people can’t pay up in 2007, that they system was going to fail, resulting in the mortgage crisis.

I found Good Night and Good Luck to be a very interesting movie. The artistic choice of making it black and white really added to the atmosphere. The placement of that one musician fit very well with the scenes around her, not to mention she had a wonderfully harmonious voice. The quick cuts between scenes supported the speed of the movie, but the very first cut into Murray’s speech caught me off guard. I was extremely surprised that this movie had Robert Downey Jr. and George Clooney. All the actors did really good jobs, I just hope their lungs weren’t damaged by all the smoke from their cigarettes. I never realized how much people smoked then. I hate the smell. I think the cinematography was well done, shooting from different angles during the show and showing clips from the actual past added the right feeling of TV during the time. I was cheering for Murrow the whole time and felt frustrated

There are many differences between Film and Theatre, even if it is of the same story. Film offers more variety of scenes, and the opportunity to refilm something until an actor gets it perfectly right. In the same way, theatre gives the audience the opportunity to witness the story unfold live in front of them, which is a unique way to see the story. Even if it is the same story, different scenic elements and props are used, different methods of acting are used, and different characterization is used. These differences, and also some similarities, can be seen in the film and theatre productions of Legally Blonde, The Lion King, and Hairspray.

“The Film of tomorrow will resemble the person who made it, and the number of spectators will be proportional to the number of friends the director has,” a quote by Francois Truffaut. This quote explains Truffaut’s belief in the Auteur theory and how films should become more personal to it’s director. Also, he mentions that the number of spectators would be equal to the number of “friends” the director had, and I think he meant that since film’s were so personal, viewers were connected in some way when watching, therefore were considered “friends” which was more meaningful then just normal "viewers”. In Auteur Theory, the director has control over all aspects of the film, which conveys a film that reflects their consistent vision. This was true for the director Francois Truffaut and Orson Wells. During the French New Wave of cinema the directors created their films to be more self reflective and had the focus be on the techniques rather than the narrative. This new style of film made their films excel and remain very well known. This essay will discuss directors Francois Truffaut and Orson Wells, and their unique signature film techniques and elements of cinematography.

An aspiring youthful specialist, Frederick Treves searches out Merrick as a subject for a presentation to the Pathological Society and, taken by Merrick's insight and friendliness, makes arrangements for Merrick to have a permanent home on the premises of London Hospital. The film depicts Treves as protecting Merrick from a pitiful presence in the dingy wharf area, where he is beaten brutally and generally manhandled by his sideshow director,
