Film Analysis : Slumdog Millionaire

The vision Christopher Nolan had for The Prestige (2006) was to add to the outbreak of street magician film, whilst playing a large dramatic subplot equal in grandeur to the magical performances within the film. In the final sequence of the film, I will analyse how the cinematography and sound resolves the plot so that it summarises the themes present in the film, whilst also invoking a response from the audience. Nolan predominantly uses close up shots, non-diegetic sound (music) and dialogue collaboratively to convey the dramatic, personal subplot of the characters and their relationships, whilst appealing to the audience bringing forth an emotional response from the audience. The heavy, slow, dramatic atmosphere of the ending sequence uses various techniques to summarise and uncover the underlying mysteries of the events throughout the film and consolidate themes introduced during the exposition.

We had heard about the movie “Creed” before it actually came out because of displays up at movie theaters and it caught our attention but we never watched it because we were interested in others movies a bit more. The movie is about a professional boxer's son who wants to fight like his father did even though his mother disagrees. It is actually a follow up from the Rocky movies. The main character in the film is the son of Apollo Creed whose rival was Rocky Balboa which is also who trains the main character. The reason Apollo doesn't train his own son if because he met his death in a boxing match in Rocky 4. When it eventually came out on DVD we bought it and we didn’t watch it for over a month until after it came out.

The pivotal scene that will be thoroughly represented and analyzed is from the movie 8 Mile, directed by Curtis Hanson, and released in 2002. 8 Mile is a semiautobiographical film based on the life story of the iconic rapper Marshal Mathers, or better known by his stage name Eminem, and how he began his journey into the hip-hop industry. In this film, Eminem plays himself, as the main character named Jimmy Smith Jr.; however, throughout the course of the movie, he is referred to as Rabbit more than anything else. Rabbit lives in a very rough part of Detroit known as 8 Mile, in a mobile home with his single alcoholic of a mother. Their financial situation is dire and Rabbit decides he needs to find a different occupation. Rabbit works at a factory to barely make ends meet; however, the amount he makes is abysmal compared to what he needs. Rabbit has a passion for music, specifically rap. However, this is a challenge because at the time the rap genre was predominantly occupied by African-Americans. Despite this, Rabbit continues on in his pursuit of making a name for himself in the rap industry. He enters rap battle competitions in hopes of getting noticed. He runs into a group of local amateur rappers known as “Leadaz of tha Free World”. The leader of this group is named Papa Doc and he is portrayed to be Rabbits greatest adversary.

While the criminal justice system can be viewed as on whole entity, there are different levels of organization. Within these different organizational levels comes varying degrees of functionality. The three organizational levels include local, state, and federal police functions. Each of which are responsible for certain aspects pertaining to the criminal justice organization. As the organizational levels progress, the functionality and responsibility of each grows. Each level has a little more power than the one

Strategies are formulated at the Top while implemented at the lower levels in any federal, state, or private level entities. In order to run all the operations and administrative tasks according to the mission and objectives of the entity, the Top level executives are expected to formulate effective strategies and plans. To accomplish the set objectives in a well-organized manner, they provide effective leadership in all the day to day operations. The same is also true for the leadership at any criminal justice agency. Such agencies or entities work at both federal and private levels and primarily work for the elimination of injustice and criminal acts from the society. Criminal justice agencies also require an effective leadership in order to perform their duties and responsibilities as per the Law enforcement work environment prevailing in their country.

Nevertheless, modern police departments are bureaucratic organization because it is the most efficient way to develop organizational structure and directing different activities in complex organizations because they must perform many different tasks to purse a common goal. The organizational structure is hierarchical to make communication efficient as it flows up and down the chain of command between lines of operational services, authority figures, and administration. Tasks are usually separated into divisions and responsibilities are delegated to lower ranking officers so there is a clear chain of command to indicate who is responsible for supervising employees and the task at

A candidate's image is important in politics. The films "Primary" and "The Candidate" emphasize that point throughout the film. Both films are documentaries but of different kinds. “Primary” is a direct cinema, whereas “The Candidate” is not. “The Candidate” seems to be more of a “mock-umentary” of “Primary”.

Apocalypse now illuminates the horror, and the atrocities of what war can cause. It showed how one can go in a normal citizen and return unable to make contact with the world without feeling out of place. As the characters move forward into metaphorical fog and darkness,the film introduces the idea that war reels in a darkness hidden within. In the first scene Willard is introduced as an already broken man, he’s back from his first tour and already feels compelled to start his second. Questions about his sanity begin to rise, how far has he been pushed off edge? Shattered mirror, and divorce papers by his side only maximizes the realization of how distant he is from his old self. This illustrates how war is capable to change an individuals

Obviously the boss was at the top of the structure and was the leader. He would be elected by the members of the gang based upon his previous experiences in organized crime and that he had spent time in a Russian prison (Grennan, et al., 2006). The elected leaders had control over their organizations’ activities and profits (Grennan, et al., 2006). Even this early structure was designed in a way to protect the leadership from outside threats such as law enforcement. Often times lower level members were “unaware of their [leaders] identities” (Grennan, et al., 2006, p. 410). This provided the benefit of preventing law enforcement officials from gathering criminal activity intelligence from the lower level members when interrogating them after they were arrested and in custody. Beneath the boss also known as “pakhany”, in descending order were the lieutenants, workers, apprentices, and legitimate citizens (Grennan, et al., 2006, p. 408). The textbook does not go into much detail for the roles of the lieutenants and apprentices. However, the textbook goes into a great deal of detail on the legitimate citizens and the workers. The workers were tasked with various things. A few of

On December 7, for our last lecture class, we watched Timbuktu. Similar to the film we watched last week, Fruitvale Station, this film’s purpose is to expose an aspect of society instead of entertaining their audience. Like most media, it has the power over the general population’s opinion and insight. For example, after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, because of American media, Muslims and Middle Eastern have been stereotyped in terrorists. While this is the far from the actual truth, American media has successfully scapegoated this group of people. By making movies that actually portrays the truth, public opinion can change about this population.

Analyze This is a hilarious, feel good movie about two men from different backgrounds living completely opposite lifestyles.

One gangster goes back in the café to get a toothpick and at the same time the other gangster is killed from a drive-by shooting. The movie’s plot is based upon the surviving gangster seeking out a psychiatrist to help with his emotional

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.
