Zootopia (Howard 2016) is an animated film of Zootopia’s first ever bunny cop, who overcomes various obstacles, while working with an edgy, prideful, con-artist fox, to uncover a conspiracy. I will argue that formal elements, including low-key lighting, mise-en-scene, editing, and framing portrays real world issues of how discrimination and stereotypes affect people, or in this case, predators. Throughout the film, predators are marginalized and affected by various stereotypes, the press conference scene proves this argument.

Many films that are created have multiple thematic driving forces that are consistent- sometimes hard to differentiate, this can make a film lose a large amount of its emotional impact… Treasure Planet uses a unique method of intervening two separate integral thematic forces.

We accompany a boy named Jim Hawkins on his journey to find Treasure Planet, a childhood dream that was forced by a fateful encounter with someone bearing a map. A map to the “Loot of a thousand worlds.” Throughout this thrilling adventure, you also learn about Jim’s family situation, his father leaving, and how it affects the way he

In the book Life of Pi the author Yann Martel wrote about a young boy named Pi Patel surviving on a lifeboat by himself. Throughout the entire book Pi was very close to religion and in the end his religions were the main reason he had survived. At the start of the book Yann Martel introduces three religions, Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. There are three main points that aided in Pi’s survival. One being that Pi was open to religions and started to follow the Islamic faith. The second reason is that Islam believed that one should pray five times a day, and Pi did exactly this. The last reason is that the religion

Life of Pi begins with an unique hook in its author’s note. In the author’s note, the fictional author is struggling to come up with a new book concept. He travels to India for inspiration and this is where he meets Francis Adirubasamy, or better known as Mamaji in the book. Adirubasamy claims that he has “a story that will make you believe in God”. After he recounts on the story, the author is determined to meet up with the main character, and he was reeled into the amazing world known as the Life of Pi. As the author listens into Mr. Patel’s adventure, his main objective was to believe in God and this was obviously completed from a quote in the author’s note. “...I agreed with Mr. Adirubasamy that this was, indeed, a story to make you believe in God.”

Karanvir Dhami Ms. Yu ENG3U March 7, 2011 Symbolism in Life of Pi In Life of Pi there are many literary devices used to present the different themes in the novel. The main literary device used in Life of Pi is symbolism. Symbolism is often used to represent an object to something else, either by association or by resemblance. Most of the names of animals, objects and even humans in this novel have a symbolic meaning. In Yann Martel’s Life of Pi, symbolism such as pi’s name, the colour orange and the algae island, are used throughout the novel to provide Pi with protection to help him either survive or overcome his emotional pain. The mathematical pi is undefined, infinite and unable to be understood, just like Piscine Patel.

Survival is an instinct. Often times, in order to survive, people must shed a part of their innocence. For some, it may be subtle, taken in tiny bites along the way, and for others it could be in one traumatizing moment. Ang Lee, director of “The Life of Pi,” explores this theme throughout his film. Lee shows the viewer this loss in the use of imagery, lighting, and color. He takes the viewer on a journey through the eyes of Piscine Patel as his innocence and humanity slowly get chipped away and he is forced to do what is necessary to survive and the lengths he goes to to regain that lost innocence.

As we journey through life and engage in a myriad of physical and emotional experiences, we renew our understanding of the world and ourselves.

Through spiritual revelations and realisations Ang Lee's film 'Life of Pi' reveals significant attitudes of individuals in order to survive. Similarly, the poem 'Invictus' composed by William Ernest Henley accurately explores the changes of attitudes in life through emotional and intellectual discoveries. Both composers enable great discoveries about society and ourselves through communicating

The book Big Fish and its movie adaptation shows the importance of how different factors help to improve the story. This book tells of the legendary stories of Edward Bloom, narrated by his son, William. The tales of Edward Bloom seem fictitious and far too amusing to be real. His son is determined to find the truth in his father's stories in order to understand who his father truly was behind his fantastic stories. The movie does not fail in its interpretation of the novel, in fact the movie could very well be even better. The addition of new scenes and the focus on Edward's love life help the movie tell the story in it's own way, showcasing the brilliance of the art of cinematography. Although the movie takes a different approach from the

Most of the science fiction works contain a crucial message that the writer wishes to convey to the viewers. There are two categories of film message, one is positive and the other is negative. A positive message is one that is expected to have favourable outcome to the audience, and continuously aiming to promote better societal changes. In contrast, a negative message is one that could deliver threats or unpleasant information to the audience, which could have significant impact on the normal order of the society. This essay will argue that if the message contains positive elements, then it is not a bad sign to embed science fiction works with a message. First, this essay will suggest that the well-integrated message within a particular

I believe the film version went above and beyond in its adaptation of the novel ‘The Maltese Falcon’. Both versions maintained similar word choice and overall atmosphere, though the two differed in how they provided the plot information and how scenes transitioned. The novel was well polished, but the film was able to narrow in on the unspoken qualities of the story pertaining to the characters’ reactions and the underlying emotion that had been limited in the novel. Two advantages the novel had were its length, which allowed for more developed characters and backstories, and its ability to use chapters, which broke the plot into more digestible portions. However, I feel the film overall possessed more advantages and ultimately provided a better portrayal of the story of the Maltese Falcon. The film adaptation used a mixture of written word, added emphasis, and audio to establish a more intense and engaging experience. Because of this visual and audio advantage the film adaptation maintained, deeper comprehension was possible without risking completely changing the feel and style of the story.

Inside the setting of film industry, the film Titanic by James Cameron has a place with epic sentiment/disaster sort. The movie, released in 1997, was a worldwide film industry hit because of the fact that the director gave measure up to significance to history, fiction and sentiment. To be particular, one can see that the film's plot depends on the historical background of RMS Titanic. On the opposite side, the primary characters including the protagonist and the woman of courage (Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater) are fictive characters. Plus, the component of romance between the primary characters (Jack and Rose) is the movie’s fundamental attraction.The film uncovers the critical and ramantic story of two young people, Jack Dawson and Rose Bukater who while on Titanic ship from the shoreline of England to the United States, began to fall in love at first sight regardless of their diverse social classes.
