Film Review : The Movie ' The Film '

There’s no doubt that Star Wars is one of the most impactful films of all time, having changed the movie-making game ever since it premiered in 1977. It quickly became a global phenomenon and has accumulated some of the most passionate fans in the universe. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is a great example to use in order to illustrate the properties discussed throughout the course. In this paper, I will analyze the entire movie. To begin, I will start by giving some basic information about the motion picture, such as the director and type of film. Next, I will provide a brief summary of the film.

Mr. Norton firmly believes that he is responsible for the outcome of the narrator, while the narrator feels that he is solely responsible for himself. This difference of opinion will only end up blinding Mr. Norton, for later on, it will be discovered that his poor attempts to convince the narrator that he is a part of his fate will bitterly explode into the pathetic reality of his life. Mr. Norton exclaims to the narrator, "You are important because if you fail, I have failed by one individual, one defective cog; it didn't matter so much before, but now I'm growing old and it has become very important..." (Ellison 45). It is too early for the narrator to accept or even realize his invisibility, but it can already be determined that Mr. Norton is an insecure, inept man who is dependent on others for security. However, the

Fight Club’s continuing relevance in contemporary popular culture is primarily attributed to the relatable characteristics that the unnamed Narrator initially exhibits. Before becoming aware that the Narrator and Tyler Durden are the same person, the majority of viewers relate more to the Narrator and his admiration of Tyler as the man they aspire to

He makes you care for his character and believe his motivations and feelings for the first portion of the movie. He struggles a bit in the emotional scenes, but he still succeeds in evoking our sympathy. By the end of the film, his performance takes a remarkable turn and he becomes genuinely disturbing. It’s brilliant.

The effects of this film are huge with it now being near impossible to watch footage of any recent protests or riots without spotting at least one participant donning the notorious mask. Another piece of modern pop culture caused tons of implications in the real world that even cost people their lives. The movie in question is the controversial 1999 David Fincher film called Fight Club. This movie revolves around a man known as Tyler Durden who goes against the societal norms and fights back with acts of terrorism and political/social irony. This movie was so intense and affecting that it caused many people to mimic the events in the film. One major plot point of the film revolves around bare knuckle boxing clubs which are illegal in America due to their intense nature and the danger to participants. The film made these dangerous clubs seem cool and edgy while dulling the scary aspects of them immensely. This film caused many people to create fight clubs around the country to mock the film. One notable example of this was in the city of Menlo Park where employees of major technology companies started a “Gentleman’s Fight Club” (Chiu). This fight club was very dangerous and resembled the ones depicted in the film very

The conflict between conformity and rebellion has always been a struggle in our society. Fight Club is a movie that depicts just that. The movie portrays the polarity between traditionalism and an anti-social revolt. It is the story of man who is subconsciously fed up with the materialism and monotony of everyday life and thereafter creates a new persona inside his mind to contrast and counteract his repetitive lifestyle.

I am planning to write about the 1999 film Fight Club, directed by David Fincher. This movie is about a nameless insomniac office worker (the narrator) who has become, as he views, a slave to consumer culture. He begins attending support groups for diseases he doesn’t have to subdue his emotional state, and he begins to sleep again. He meets Marla Singer, another fake attendee of support groups, she is an incredibly mysterious woman who is obviously a bit crazy, yet the narrator seems drawn to her. On a flight for his job, the narrator meets the character Tyler Durden, a hip, stylish man who sells soap for a living. When the narrator's apartment blows up, he calls Tyler and begins to live

All of the characters presented in the movie have a distinct personality, making the viewer engage deeply in the heart pumping action and drama.

In the film one of the main actors (Tyler Durden) who is played by Brad Pitt comments on how life should be different from the way everyone is living. The quote is “We are Products of lifestyle obsessions.” He says that he does not fear the crime in the county, what he is worried about is how corporate America is holding people back, and making people think a certain way, by social norms. The film has so many different shots about this, It shows Ed Norton asking himself while he is looking at an IKEA catalog, What kind of glass wear, and furniture defines me?

The film Fight Club has generated controversy from the very moment it was released. Critics have both acclaimed and denounced this film. At the same time, it has been a fan favorite, ranking 14 on IMDB’s Top 250 Chart. On one hand, the film Fight Club lacks in its unrealistic plot.

The classic 1996 film Fight Club is a social commentary about our generation, which is in many ways devoid of spirit and marked by consumerism. It is the story of a man's spiritual journey towards enlightenment in modern society and his attempt to find his place in the world. It stresses a post-modern consumer society, reveals the loss of masculine identity amongst gray-collar workers, and examines the social stratification marked by our developing society. It follows the life of the narrator, who is referred to as Jack, (Edward Norton) as he struggles with insomnia and feelings of inadequacy in his desperate search to find meaning in his own life. The film, although

3. An inside look at director David Fincher's brilliant filmmaking. Fincher has directed films like Fight Club and Zodiac. He has a knack for taking books you'd buy at an airport and turning them into a gritty, and detail oriented piece of cinema.

Throughout the book many games are played. I chose three games that were interesting to me the game where Lolita ask for more money, the game where she seduced Humbert, and the game where she actually plays tennis. Throughout these games some of them same things appear like sexual imaginations, control, and intelligence. Lolita plays games with Humbert in order to get what she wants knowing that she has control over his weaknesses for sexual activities.

In 2009 a film was released called "The Box," starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden, but this movie was based on a short story by Richard Matheson about the human capacity for violence, weakness, hypocrisy, denial, guilt, responsibility and ethical behavior. (Diaz 2009) Matheson's story involves two ordinary folks who are given the opportunity to collect a great deal of money, but only if they push a button that will result in the death of some other human being. While the couple debated the ethical considerations of actually pushing the button, a number of considerations were taken into account. In the end, the wife, who had been leaning toward performing the nefarious deed, finally convinced herself to push the button; with disastrous results. Matheson's story is a an attempt to portray the eternal conflict between morality and evil that every human being must face in his or her life and the consequences of acting in immoral ways.
