Culture is one the most important aspects in a society. A person’s culture influences their life from the day they are born to the day they die. It has a major impact in every indivuaduals life. Culture impacts the decision of what a person is named, to the language they speak, how they speak, how they dress, how they look, what they believe in, what they value, and so much more. Culture is what makes the world unique. America is known for its variety in different cultures. The nation is known for its opportunity of prosperity to every. It’s one of the few nations where thousands can say they came with nothing but the clothes on their back and the “American dream” in their hearts and successfully can say they “Made it in America”.

Dialogue is the "meat" in a screenplay. The role od dialogue is to push the story forward and shows us who the characters are. Seeing is believing in film. It os called visual storytelling for a reason. I didn't realize how much could be wrong with one's dialogue. For the short, Intercambios the dialogue was on the nose. One technique that comes to mind is K.IS.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid." This film kept me engaged and emotionally invested. The subtext was wonderful and I knew what the characters meant by something that was not said. The script on paper was very clear. There were no extra lines or "talking wallpaper." The dialogue describes Cristina as an honest and hardworking daughter, helping to support her struggling family in another country. She saved eight thousand dollars to help them and went to the bank to wire the money to surprise them. The subtext shows who she is and so does the script. She calls her mother being so happy and humble. It indicates that she is hardworking. From the prepaid cell phone to the mattress that lay on the floor, I knew she was honest. However when she meets the

The event I attended was a movie called The Hunting Grounds. It was about sexual assault on campuses all over the United States and how many campuses had been ignoring the fact that there were assaults on their campuses and blamed it on the fact that the victims were dressed a certain way or that there was alcohol involved. The general idea was that it was the victims fault that they got assaulted, and the college or university had little to no consequences for their perpetrator. This event was of interest to me because I had heard good reviews about the movie, plus it was a learning opportunity to see what the process is like for other schools who have to deal with sexual assault. It was interesting to see how each school had a different

I completed the Human Rights and Social Justice Pathway. From the courses I took for Pathway, I was able to make several connections with my fellow classmates. Especially for the classes that required working with groups, I got along with several of my classmates and have been able to create social networks. Even after some of those classmates have graduated and moved away, we still keep in touch to talk about social issues that occur, events that may interest one of us, or just to help one another through difficult times. Personally, I do not think I would have been able to make these connections if I had not joined Pathways. I originally was only a psychology major, but after joining Pathways, there were several sociology classes that interested me, therefore, I added sociology as my minor. Many

In the case of Alicia Huberman (Ingrid Bergman), her father’s prison sentence leaves her skeptical of others, yet longing for a new companion in her life. She has a reliance on alcohol to wash her troubles away. R. Devlin’s (Cary Grant) a stranger from the party, a very mystery man. The Party takes place at Miami, FL. The camera pans right across Cary Grant’s back and comes to rest behind his right shoulder. The camera is placed behind and to the right of Cary Grant who is sitting and facing away from the camera. In the immediate foreground masking out a small portion of the bottom left corner

A few mouths after arriving in Hollywood at the age of 21(JAZZ MASTERS) to study his passion, dance, on the Gi Bill Luigi was a passenger in a automobile that slammed into a telephone pole, throwing Luigi from m the car, hitting the curb head first. After the accident Luigi remained in a coma for two mouths, waking to discover that the right side of his body and the left side of his face paralyzed. (IS DEAD) His doctors told him he would not walk again but Luigi was only interested if he could dance. Stating, “I don’t care if I can walk, I want to dance.” By repeating the three simple words “ Never stop moving” (JAXX MASTERS)

Imagine that two men, ragged and exhausted, have found their way onto a cold shoreline and collapse. Having witnessed death and feeling like death, they had finally returned home. These two men had just returned from the Crusades, where they had initially acted out of their religious idealism and returned with that idealism destroyed. The viewer cannot say for sure what these two men had witnessed, or what they had done, all in the name of God. All that can be established from these opening, dialogue free scenes is that both men have returned damaged men, men who have seemingly lost some sort of will, and most possibly some sort of faith. These men have arrived home, but their home has now been hit by fear and disease.

So, I’ve decided to start watching films by themes every week. Forcing myself not only to put a break to the insane amount of TV shows I have been watching (I’m back on the TV binge again, I don’t know how it happens, but I always go back to it) but to also analyse patterns within the film industry.

The classic Hollywood movie was dominated by a misogynistic view of sex and gender. The Hollywood film rose rapidly as one of the highest earning industries in America in the early twentieth century. As a result of the traditional patriarchal society of the era it was the men who owned the studios, the men who wrote the scripts, the men who worked behind the scenes, and the men who held the leading roles that dominated the industry. In this paper, I will discuss in brief my experience in viewing the short film by Tracy Moffatt (2003). Second, examine the feminist theories of Mulvey (1975) that provide a psychoanalysis of the ‘male gaze’ and how these views of sex and gender were placed in the movie. Finally, I will provide a counter

The movie Into the Wild is about a young man who finished his university education and through everything away. He did this because he wanted to go into the wilderness to find answers to his questions to his life. There are multiple scenes that moved me when watching this movie. The first scene that moved me was during a campfire scene with Jan and Chris. They were talking and Jan said that “You look like a loved kid, be fair.” Chris answered “Rather than love, in money, in faith, in fame, and fairness. Give me truth.” This scene is significant for me because what Chris is saying. He is saying that all he wants are truthful answers about life. This is basically what my self discovery is about because I honestly do not know

Ever since I could remember, I have been interesting in films and film memorabilia. It didn’t even have to be like legit props that were used on set of the films either, tie in products tickled my itch also. I vividly remember in 2007, having my mom drive me an hour away just so that I could get my hands on a box of Krusty-O’s that were a 7-11 exclusive cereal to promote The Simpsons Movie. I still have the box sitting on my shelf of important trinkets in my room, next to my Burger King exclusive glass goblets issued in 2001 for LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring, and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull Popcorn cartons that were sold at Blockbuster in 2008. I leave no rock unturned.

When deconstructing the aspects that render someone a human being, a logical conclusion that one would arrive to is the concept of love. The film Her is a vivid portrayal of the possible intimate relationship between humans and machines because it evaluates the idea of love and the emotions associated with it as being not just exclusive to humans but is really an intangible, and universal force between two parties. A depiction of a man’s relationship with an artificially intelligent being, on the surface, is a problematic emblem stemming from misconceptions and cultural taboos, but at its fundamental core, the phases of the relationship are no different than what is normally experienced between two humans. From the idyllic beginning, to the maturation of the connection between Theodore and his Operating System (OS) Samantha through intense passion and the coming to terms with each other’s flaws, to the bittersweet end when two individuals eventually grow apart, the film Her gives an honest portrayal of love between two beings as representative of the larger more intimate impact that technology will play in the future.

Culture in my opinion is a peoples’ way of life. Our culture permeates into every detail of our daily lives and we seldom notice it. Our culture celebrates independence with explosions in the sky on the fourth day in July. It is our freedom to practice a faith of our choice. It is hot dogs and hamburgers. It is a firm handshake and a 26 letter phonetic alphabet. All of these things help to define us as Americans and make us who we are. They are all a part of American culture. There are thousands of different cultures and subcultures in the world. Some of them share some customs and ideas, but they are all still very different and distinct from one another. One of the most unique cultures on our planet is North Korea.

One day in class we watched one of those god awful behaviour videos produced a decade old. All the youngsters in these educational doldrums had fluffy feathered mullets and strong cockney accents, film locations were churlish high-rise council blocks that surmounted concrete doom in its infrastructure. And a cast of dreadful actors so utterly depressing to look at you had to wonder where their future in acting ended up. We had to view these insipid films on a geriatric Sony trinitron, snuggled in a cardigan of wood, volume exceedingly loud you could hear a margin of white noise and lastly, hatred for the continuous disappointing VCR for never aborting the tapes as they were playing in her ethical conundrum belly.
