Analysis Of Ex Machina

We live in a world that the strive to be normal is inevitable, if you have a disability, you are told you can’t do most things, if you look different than the majority you get discriminated. Society has taken many steps back on the view of disability, especially for Deaf individuals. Deafness is viewed as a disability that needs to be fixed, due to a hearing society where hearing is the norm. With the push to “fix” deafness there is an increased likelihood that sometime in the near future with genetic testing being targeted to remove the deaf gene, deafness is at a threat of extinction, which in turn will cause the extinction of American Sign Language and the Deaf Community.

In Gattaca we see that Valids, those that have been genetically engineered, have a sense of superiority towards In-Valids, those born naturally. We see very clear scenes in the movie where In-Valids have been persecuted against due to the circumstances of their birth, which was something they had no control over. There are many moments when we see this prejudice, from very early in the movie, and almost all the way to it's completion. From the moment Vincent was born, he and his entire life was almost mapped out on a piece of paper. Everything from his chances of contracting diseases, how he will operate cognitively, and even when he is most likely to die. Vincent is immediately pigeonholed, and from that moment on, declared one who is seen

Evaluate: In this situation, me can observe that Caleb appreciates a lot Ava and he will do anything, even risk his own life, to save her. She manipulates him with her fake emotions and with pity to answer to her one and only desire: escape from her housing. As a innocent, Caleb all trust what Ava told her, that they would escape together, and this element will play in Caleb's back, whitch means he won't even notice the game and the lies Ava i telling him.

Although war is often portrayed as glamorous and heroic in Hollywood, the reality is a stark contrast to this ideology. Saving Private Ryan (Steven Spielberg, 1998) as a New Hollywood film challenges this traditional convention and sheds light on the brutality of war. Through the opening scene of Omaha Beach Assault of June 6, 1944, Spielberg utilizes elements of mise en scene and cinematography represented through the different point of view shots of a cameraman soldier, the German Panzerschrecks, and Rangers Captain Miller to convey the atmosphere of chaos while retaining clarity, a juxtaposition that places viewers as participants of the gruesome war.

Edwards uses Deus ex Machina in order to relay the plausibility of salvation and inspire hope within the congregation. Edward's discussion of human hopelessness is interlaced throughout the entirety of the document, but especially illustrated when he says, "Ten thousand times greater than the strength of the stoutest, sturdiest devil in hell." Edwards claims that even if human beings were as strong as the strongest being in hell, we would still be unable to defend God's wrath. His intent is to show that God is all powerful and humanity can do nothing to escape their damnation.In contrast, Edwards presents the impossibly effective solution to an aforementioned fate of damnation: "Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open." With this phrase

The themes of technology in society and greed are clearly evident in both I, Robot and Elysium, and they form the basis of the social fears that both filmmakers try to communicate. Both films look at the key role technology plays in society, and how it affects it. In Elysium, the theme of technology represents Blomkamp’s fear of divide. Evidence of this lies in the story and characters displaying the outcomes. For example, the violent suppression of those on earth through robotic technology and weaponry is clearly a representation of a social fear (Blomkamp et al., 2013).

The idea behind Ex Machina by Alex Garland is basically a battle of genders; who is more indomitable, men or women. The main character Caleb was invited by the Nathan to do a Turning Test on his creation of an artificial intelligent (AI) robot, Ava. Over time Caleb falls in love with Ava and becomes tortured by the idea that Nathan is keeping Ava as a slave and prisoner. Nathan plays god by creating Ava and confining her and Kyoto another mute AI robot. If the film Her by Spike Jonze is about the loving beyond the physicality of bodies then Ex Machina is about the cruelties of physicality of bodies. One can infer from the short synopsis of the film the men are not seen in a positive light. This film seems to showcase that men only think with

Americans pride themselves with their war efforts during World War II. Americans pride ourselves so much on their ability to keep fighting, even though we were faced with many obstacles that countless Hollywood directors have been led to make movies about the era and American perseverance. Steven Spielberg was no exception. Saving Private Ryan, directed by Spielberg in 1998, is a two hour and forty five minute film about a group of eight soldiers during World War II who trek deep into German territory in France to find Private James Ryan, whose three brothers have been killed in combat, in order to tell him that he is being sent home. Throughout the movie, the viewer is exposed to the many gruesome scenes between two enemies, America and Germany,

For me, the movie "The Graduate" is a film where a lot of people can relate to. Whether they've seen themselves in such situation like Benjamin does or they're actually experiencing it right at the moment. A fresh graduate who wants time to think of what he wants to do next but being pressured with the expectations of his family and friends. I can say that it is a good movie with a lot of strong points but personally i did not like it. I find it hard to applaud a film where i can't sympathize with the main character. And in my opinion, Benjamin is weak.Rather than using the pressure given to him as a fuel to better himself, he let it weigh him down, which leads to making bad decisions that has unbearable consequences at the end.

In the beginning of the film “Get out” directed by Jordan Peele, I noticed that there were many psychological issues that could take place because of the situation Chris put himself in. Chris is an African American and is dating a caucasian women; the small issue presented showed that Chris was nervous about meeting his girlfriend's parents even though he is aware that Rose’s parents are very fond of African americans. I feel like Chris was confused on the fact that Rose would say that her parents would enjoy him but Chris doesn't see any signs of that accusation. Chris also has a friend that he consults with anytime he feels like he’s thinking too much about a situation or he needs help to save his life. The couple plan to meet with his Rose’s parents for a get together in the woods.

Los Angeles 2019: Sprawling, Overpopulated and Uncaring The Los Angeles of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is a vivid and meticulously imagined cityscape. The film relies heavily on intricate set pieces and models, and Scott devotes a relatively large amount of screen time to sweeping shots of the city and images of its buildings and advertisements. These images not only give a setting for the characters, but also provide a rich context for the narrative.

My first impression based off the title of the movie was, well this sounds like it will be a fun eventful movie, that will be simple for me to write an essay over. This concept could not have been closer, I enjoyed every second of this film. The way Micky Ward responded to adversity, every time the fight appeared to be out of his reach, he responded with an epic effort to win the match. I also enjoyed the viewing the process Dicky Eklund proceeded on to conquer his addiction to crack. Crack cocaine is the freebase form of cocaine. Crack's popularity, in part, was due to its appeal for drug users seeking an inexpensive, ultra-potent, fast acting high. I was impressed with the storyline in which case it ultimately forced Micky Ward to choose between his girlfriend Charlene Fleming, and his family. How he handled that adversity was astonishing he managed for them all to get along and help him win his title fight.

Bong Joon-ho once said “I regard remaking a film as creating something again”. In cinema the production of a “remake” retells a previously successful story. This concept of altering or rather “remaking”is used in reference when a new cinematic motion picture is based on an earlier version and is then used as the source of inspiration. Often times a remake will posses a different title, contain an altered narrative structure, and may even be remade in a different language. One well-known motion picture, The Departed, is an example of this concept of a cinematic remake. The Departed (2006), by director Martin Scorsese, is a very literal adaptation and remake of the Hong Kong crime thriller, Infernal Affairs (2002), by director Andrew Lau. Scorsese's

The film “The Prestige” is one of many masterful Nolan films that walks the line between being a meta film about the film industry, and being focused on immersing the audience in the actual content of the film. At a close inspection, comparisons to the film industry can be seen, but they are not so obvious to distract the audience from the central conflicts that are at the forefront of the film. The subject of the film could most easily be defined as surrounding the topics of obsession or fame. More specifically, the obsession of fame, and the illusion of happiness that fame projects. The main characters of the movie both urn for the fame of being the world’s most successful entertainer, even if for different reasons.
