Fast Five Movie Analysis

On November 8, 2017 the Office of Social Justice and Activism hosted their Under the Lights: Diversity in Sports Series. This presentation mostly focused on team logos that are offensive and the diversity of players on a sports team. As someone who does not care about sports in any capacity, I was not excited to attend this presentation, but it still taught me a lot.

Firstly, I would like to say that overall the film by all standards was not at all bad. When one thinks of a foreign film you might think of a really bad, poorly edited, or low funded film. With the major reason for it being foreign, the obvious reason being that it was not made in Hollywood. However, this movie takes all of the preconceptions about foreign films and turns it upside down. With a budget of nearly 5 million dollars (Instructions), and only being filmed in two locations in Mexico the movies overall quality is actually quite astounding. Furthermore, I would like to commend the directors and editors on doing Hollywood level job, creating and making the final product as it is better then something you might see in a low budget jaws knock off made here in the United States.

Little is known about the production process of This Film Is Not Yet Rated, other than it

Die Hard, a film directed by John McTiernan, successfully utilized several aesthetics, which offered viewers various meanings throughout the duration of the film. Although the diverse meanings grasped by viewers may differ, it was clear to me that McTiernan effectively applied elements of cinematography and mise-en-scene that resulted in viewers being allowed to interpret a range of different meanings or functions of the elements.

Fast and furious 5 was a very successful movie that was released by universal studios. It was a release to a very successful series of Fast and Furious movies. The movie trailer for the movie was a very catchy and attention grabbing trailer. The Fast and Furious 6 trailer was successful because of using ethos, the soundtrack heard, and its use of displaying what’s seen.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

The movie “Wit” was a very touching story about 48 year old English professor, Vivian, who was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer. Her physician convinced her to agree to undergo an aggressive chemotherapy treatment which was also a research experiment. Vivian was told that the experimental therapy was the best way to cure her cancer. Consequently, Vivian endured eight months of rigorous and often extremely painful experimental treatment, particularly within the final weeks of her life. One of her former students, Jason, was a researcher on the medical team. Jason was very intelligent person but unfortunately insensitive to Vivian. He would always come into the room and ask the same question, “How are you feeling today?” This question lost its meaningfulness and effectiveness and soon became a mundane routine. On the other hand, Vivian also had a primary care nurse named Susie who showed genuine compassion and a regard for a code of ethics that brought her into conflicts with Vivian’s physician from time to time.

There Will be Blood was released in 2007. The director and the screenwriter was by Paul Thomas Anderson. Some of the tremendous actors in this movie are, Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Dano, and Dillon Freasier. I would say this movie really set the tone for the American dream, even though it wasn’t really thought of during the movie’s time period. It really shows hard work, greed, lust, and trickery. Overall this is a good movie, with a very slow start. It is filled with drama, mystery, and action. If you are for those kinds of films this movie is right up your alley.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is a compelling tribute to its predecessors, but George Miller intensifies the madness of this sequel to a whole other level. The thirty-year gap in the original Mad Max trilogy to this new sequel allowed for Miller to create a thrilling action movie with very little CGI. Computer-generated imagery, CGI, is commonly used in many sci-fi and action films but Miller brought in cinematographer John Seale to contribute to making this film authentic. Together Miller and Seale brought to life a desolate waste land created by mankind’s own greediness and thirst for power. This type of post-apocalyptic genre has been done before involving zombies and aliens, but the fear that this movie gives the viewer is not one of fiction,

According to the Atkinson-Shiffrin Theory, memory involves three related processes; Sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory. Together these processes provide the pathway for environmental information to be received by the senses and either put to use, store for later use, or neglected altogether. Sensory memory allows environmental information to be retained, which then stores brief sensory events such as sights, sounds, and tastes. Sensory memory allows our brain to make quick reactions and judgements without having to wait on the information to be processed by conscious thoughts.

The first wave knocked out all of the power, then the 2nd wave hit. I Zac Fearon watched the 5th wave and will be reviewing the movie. This movie I watched was in the movie theaters during February of 2016, almost one year ago. I only watched this movie one time but it was still the best movie I had ever seen. The 5th Wave trailer is why I watched this movie. My friend also told me that he really enjoyed it.

Mad Max: Road Fury has been consider one of the best movies of the summer. It is the fourth installation in George Miller’s Mad Max franchise. The most interesting thing about this release, however, is that although it is the fourth movie of the series, it come almost thirty years after the release of the last movie in the franchise. The development, financing, and eventual production of Fury Road is incredibly interesting because although almost everything went wrong, it still became a successful movie, both critically and in the box office.

Today, a brief one. Just how does one rebuild a failed movie in such a way as to make it an enjoyable experience for the viewer? Case in point: Drive Angry. Here's what my favorite place says about this motion picture: Drive Angry is a 2011 American action film starring Nicolas Cage and Amber Heard, and directed by Patrick Lussier. It was released on February 25, 2011. Shot in 3-D, the film was met with a mixed reception and grossed almost $30 million....The film has received mixed reviews from critics. It currently holds a 45% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 111 reviews, and an average rating of 5.3/10. James Kendrick said it was 'loud, vicious, tasteless and inane'. He then went on to say 'it thunders at you from every direction with a wild abandon that is more irritating and desperate than enlivening'. Mark Jenkins from the Washington Post commented that 'Even at its most lurid, though, the movie is a little dull. It only gets less compelling as the back story fills in.' Thomas Layer from the Toronto Telegraph said the film was an "abysmal nightmare" and that this film was "more evidence that Nicolas Cage is a monotone, uninspiring thespian whose films should be avoided at all costs". On the other hand, Elizabeth Weitzman from the New York Daily News wrote, "Drive Angry is pure grindhouse, so committed to its own junkiness that it is, in its way, a pleasure to behold." The Evening Standard film critic Stewart Pulsey praised the film for its "resilient desire to unmask

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.
