Film Analysis Of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange

The Blade Runner film clip begins with a sound similar to an emergency vehicle’s siren, followed by the sound of background music, with a slight overlapping between the two sounds. Both of these sounds are nondiegetic, because the sounds don’t appear as a result of the action of the movie. The director could have incorporated the sound similar to an emergency vehicle’s siren in order to reinforce that some sort of emergency is occurring, seemingly the explosions on the buildings.

A suspenseful tale built on illusions and trickeries, “The Prestige” has been established as one of the most criminally underrated movies of the century. In this filmic masterpiece, director and writer Christopher Nolan, plays a magic trick on the audience and misdirects the viewers, but also hides the secret obviously in plain sight. Co-written by his brother, Jonathan Nolan, and adapted from a novel by Christopher Priest, this film is set in the nineteenth century London, and deals with an obsessive rivalry between two magicians that are willing to sacrifice everything they have to create the ultimate illusion. In this movie, Nolan leaves the audience guessing and gasping at its twists and unexpected turns, with a dauntingly brilliant script, thought provoking narration, unique cinematographic details, and a beautifully talented cast.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind is one of the only romance movies that i actually find entertaining. The movie has believable characters with real emotions and problems. Joel is an antisocial person that seems to usually try to avoid people, He has trust issues and he isn't the generic knight in shining armor protagonist that you see in so many romance movies to day. The way the camera angles usually feel fitting, you can tell they had a great cinematographer. There is also a lot of imagery in the movie because for most of the movie he is unconscious going through his memories which gives the movie a lot to play with in terms of imagery because you are in his mind. Throughout the film Clementines hair colour changes according to the time in the story to show continuity and her emotions. When her hair was red she seemed to be more of an angry person but there were also good scenes with the red hair, representing anger and love. Than later in the movie when it shows how they met you can notice that her hair is green and she seems to be more of a calm, explorer type person. This is shown in the film when they go exploring and find the house. And finally her blue hair which i like to think through the film represents the sadness and emptiness in her life without joel even with patrick(who uses joels techniques with her because he had heard everything about the two). Along with the way they do the memory sequences it's

“Little is left to the imagination, and little is left up to the viewer.” Neisha Ulrey, a high school English professor, mentions this quotation in her article, “Do not look at the paper: imagine it”. It defines a glimpse that correlates between the story and the movie and keeping us as “readers” to envision beyond the aiming in both. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 1892 Story, illustrates the story of an unnamed narrator and her husband “john” who were on a vacation, for the narrator to relax, because she was suffering from psychological issues. However, the movie has a different approach. On 2012, Logan Thomas has adapted the story of “the yellow wallpaper” manipulating the central idea which focuses on the existence of a supernatural force that

The film Rear Window came out in 1954 and was directed by Alfred Hitchcock; it’s clever storytelling quickly made it an instant classic. The film itself was unlike anything the famous director had done before, it was seen to be a comedic romance with a twist of mystery. Hitchcock was known to tell stories that haunt you rather than teach you how to live in the real world, but Rear Window blended those two elements into a film and allowed the audience to follow the protagonist’s journey in a unique way. Peeling back the layers of this film shows a whole new side of the story, it’s juggling of different narratives and opposing cliché classic Hollywood tropes cemented it’s influence in film forever.

“Orange is the New Black” is about to welcome “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner as a director in season 4.

Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times” shows a multilayered social concern ranging from alienation to the modern age. It also reflects the psychological side of human being that undergoes exploitation for prolonged period. The movie underlines the deterioration of the human mind under the pressure of a monotonous mechanical industrial world. Psychologically, the Tramp, who is the central character of the movie, undergoes nervous breakdown due to the repressive working conditions. The movie exhibits dehumanization of human being if he is pushed to the limits. At the same time this movie is the comment on the exploitation and the domination of the working class. the movie is made on the backdrop of the great American depression, unemployment, and

The placelessness and timelessness of the film also allows the creators to disregard archaeological accuracy when drawing inspiration from Incan art and architecture for the animation of the film. The Inca civilization developed a distinct “abstract” and “geometrical” style of art (Zuidema, 2). Drawing upon this, The Emperor’s New Groove’s creators claimed to use the Inca art pieces “as inspiration and use their designs in other ways” (Silverman, 309). While the creators did base some of the film’s animations off of authentic Incan art, they do admit to altering nearly all of it. This fragments the archaeological information that could be provided by these art pieces by using them out of context (Silverman, 301). For example, using a

Alfred Hitchcock’s attention to detail in his films is one of the many things that makes him one of the most recognized film auteurs of all time. He was very particular what about he wanted seen on screen and how he wanted to get those shots. From camera movements to the things found in the mise-en-scène, Hitchcock was very precise about every little thing that is seen in his on screen worlds. He would strategically place objects throughout the mise-en-scène and have characters wear certain clothing. By doing this, Hitchcock is able to let the audience know things about the characters and the plot without it having to be said on camera. Hitchcock once said that “If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a perfectly clear idea of what was going on” (Tiffin). That’s why there’s no surprise that when Hitchcock finally made his first color film, he began to use color as another way of communicating with his audience.

The movie It was recently remastered, released a few short weeks ago on September 8th, 2017. The original It was directed by Tommy Lee Lewis and released in 1990, a horror movie that was adapted from the 1986 novel by writer Stephen King. Both the book and the movies are frightening and gory, and even some horror fans stay away. The book is an excellent tool for keeping yourself awake, and you should only watch the movies in a well-lit room and certainly not your basement on a dark, stormy October night. This paper will compare the plot of It: Chapter One, or simply It, released in 2017 and directed by Andres

Wes Anderson has done it again with his new film, The Grand Budapest Hotel. True to the style of Anderson movies, The Grand Budapest Hotel is filled with gorgeous color schemes, witty lines, impeccable scoring, and perfectly symmetrical frames. We even get glimpses of the usual crew that act in the Anderson franchise, including Tilda Swinton, Owen Wilson, and Bill Murray.

American Psycho (Mary Harron, 2000) is a film about a wealthy and materialistic Wall Street investment banker, Patrick Bateman. Bateman leads a double life as a serial killer and as the film progresses, his homicidal behaviours begin to take over his life making his psychotic nature evident to those around him. “My need to engage in homicidal behaviour on a massive scale cannot be corrected, but I have no other way to fulfill my needs.” Towards the end of the film, after breaking up with his fiancé, Evelyn “you’re not terribly important to me.” Bateman is seen running through town like a maniac, since at this point in the film he is completely unhinged and out of touch with reality. He attempts to put a cat inside of the ATM machine that reads “FEED ME A STRAY CAT.” After being caught he shoots the elderly lady who tried to stop him, the police then begin to chase him down and Bateman shoots at them, ultimately blowing up two police cars and the cops around them. He then runs into a building to hide from the helicopters and make a call to his lawyer to confess all of his killings. Although this scene does not go extremely in depth about Bateman’s psychopathic lifestyle, when analyzing it by looking at the dialogue/sound, the editng/variety of camera techniques and the mise-en-scène it is easily recognizable.

Cinematic techniques help a movie become more entertaining therefore everyone uses them. Different elements can create different moods. Directors all have unique styles of making movies. Tim Burton uses lighting and different angles to contrast fantasy with reality and show the strength of different characters.

Throughout this movie, there are many stereotypes, images, and representations of gender, class, and race and demonstrate intersectionality.

“The use of colour to express complexity of mind and to affirmatively counterpoint brutality also distinguishes the post-Strangelove films. As Sergei Eisenstein (an early theoretical influence on Kubrick) predicted, colour in serious cinema would become integral to meaning. But unlike some of Eisenstein’s ideological descendants, Kubrick did not consider beauty to be a varnish for social injustice.” (rice, pg2)
