Moulin Rouge Film Analysis

The movie Napoleon Dynamite directed by Jared Hess and released June 11, 2004 is a comedy about an awkward teen that has trouble fitting in. Napoleon (Jon Heder) the main character, lives with his grandma until she gets into an accident and his life is immediately made worse when his uncle Rico (Jon Gries) who is stuck in his high school football “superstar” days knocks on their door and is there to keep an eye on Napoleon while his grandma is getting hospitalized. Napoleon has a red afro, wears moon boots, and is constantly practicing his atrocious ninja moves. Napoleon has a best friend in high school names Pedro (Efren Ramirez) who decides to run for class president, and it is up to Napoleon to step out of his comfort zone to help Pedro win, and get his information out around school. Napoleon Dynamite was excellent because it met the criteria of humor, acting, and the profound message.

Moulin Rouge(2001) is an Oscar winning master piece from director Baz Luhrmann. It followed the success and recognition of Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Strictly Ballroom (1992). All three films were recognized for Luhrmann’s characteristic style. His films feature stylistic choices such as blue and red lighting, the use of rapid cuts and vibrant, period accurate costume. To analyze Luhrmann’s use of the four elements of the stylistic system, I will consider two specific scenes from the film, namely El Tango De Roxanne and the first meeting between the Duke, Christian and Satine. Although they both feature singing and dancing, the mood evoked by each contrasts completely.

Casablanca, the crowning achievement of director Michael Curtiz, which was released in 1942, is a film that had to work against the pressing concerns associated with World War II to stay relevant in both cinematic and general audiences. The writing, which was done by Julius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein, and Howard Koch, had to be inspirational yet uncontroversial. With actors like Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund, Claude Rains as Captain Louis Renault, and Paul Henreid as the French revolutionary Victor Laszlo, Casablanca has a respectable cast. The movie initially appears to fit the film noir genre because of its smoky backdrops with muted colors,

     “The Omen” is a 1972 American classic horror movie directed by Richard Donner. The movie stars Gregory Peck (Robert Thorn), Lee Remick (Katherine Thorn), David Warner (Jennings),Billie Whitelaw (Mrs. Baylock), Harvey Stephens (Damien), patrick troughton (Father Brennan).  In the bigen of the movie, the Pope priests in Vatican rush completion signals advent a demon to Earth to destroy religion.And repeat the mysterious mishaps and frightening emotional begins to doubt this eccentric child says scary incidents appear in an emotional place goes. For the film he took horror formula except that the Director wanted to deliver a message deeper than that which is Politician.

Jean Cocteau gave the public a fairy tale that combines the romance of the musical production and the classic plot. A memorable romantic story, very beautifully made and with a deep meaning. What does the fairy tale teach us? What is important is not external beauty, but what is inside is feelings and love. It is love that can turn a monster into a human being, but it can also make a monster out of a person. Belle does not admit her love for the Beast, and he does not build himself as a perfect aristocrat. On the contrary, he shyly regrets in his own wretchedness. And at the same time, the film is full of shades of poetized feelings such as rapture, horror, devotion, envy. From the inevitable overcoming of contradictions, slowly the union of

The 2001 Baz Luhrmann Moulin Rouge production is assembled like a bunch frenzied snapshots of what a drug induced erotic encounter would look like, or what we would imagine it would look like. The film does not depend on dialogue but on the way you imagine a fantasy from one angle and then another with all of extreme contrast between dark and light colors and the fast movement of the film. Luhrman uses many different techniques to convey images to his viewers. Examples of these are mise-en-scene, cinematography, and editing. All of these techniques are used to draw you into the film; the uses of these together make a fantastic story about love.

During the duration of the film there were some key parts that truly stuck out to me. Moments that I will never forget for as long as I live. These key moments are when Frida was involved in a bus accident, Diego Rivera cheating on Frida, Diego fighting the men in NYC, and Frida's baby coming out in pieces. The bus accident was what got me hooked to watch the movie, it was mind-blowing to see her survive after a tragic accident. Then to see Diego fighting the men in NYC made me feel some type of way because he worked hard on the painting and too see them just knock it down because of one detail was also mind-boggling. The next scene was when Diego cheated on Frida because it bought out a lot of emotions from Frida which brought empathy towards

Les Miserables is a prime example of two individuals conflicted by the “letter of the law” and the “spirit of the law”. The two main characters, Jean Valjean and and Javert, have two different views on morality. There is a difference between the “letter of the law” and the “spirit of the law”. Obeying the what the laws specifically says defines the “letter of the law” and obeying the overall message of the law defines the “spirit of the law”.

I will analyse the stills relating both to the abstract art form and also images that focus on realism, showing how the piece uses multiple film methods to create and enhance the music video’s narrative whilst also discussing the meaning within the imagery and how specific techniques were used to convey a certain message or emotion. Through the imagery, specific focuses will be made relating to the cinematography, the use of colour and the intention of the shot, this will then be expanded into how this is relatable with earlier and modern forms of cinema. I will also discuss how the images have similarities to avant-garde and surrealist films and whether animated characters can relate to live action performances within film.

Romero (the movie) is a biopic movie released in 1989 American biopic which depicts the life and death of the Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, who led peaceful protests against a violent military regime and made sure the people knew the truth, even though this ended up costing him his life. He is portrayed in the movie by Raul Julia.

There is a common phrase that says, “Every mind is its own world” and although it’s a short phrase it has a strong meaning. Sometimes the population is fast to judge someone that believes in something outside the “normal” common things. Every year around the world we have the opportunity to learn about the many different traditions that other countries practice. While those traditions might be different than what we are used to, every tradition plays a special role in their hearts. The film Coco (2017) was released a couple months ago and everyone was amazed by the message that it delivered. It shows the importance of appreciating other worldly traditions and being able to understand what it represents for them. Just like Halloween has become a tradition in the United States, El Dia de los Muertos is a tradition that is recognized and appreciated in Mexico. Every year during the first days of November, most families get together and build an altar for their beloved deceased family members. Appreciation is a characteristic trait that was definitely displayed in this film. Editing and Sound, Acting and Cinematography were three elements that really supported the message that the director intended to deliver.

In Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky details the fall and redemption of a former student, Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov. Raskolnikov leads a fairly ordinary life, but makes a terrible choice which will haunt him for the rest of his life. He murders a pawnbroker in her apartment, and his mental health consequently spirals into a dark and chilling state. Through finding love and religion he becomes a better man, and decides to turn himself in for his crimes. During his time spent in jail, Raskolnikov learns to achieve happiness, and strives to have a better life after his release. Likewise, in Les Miserables, Victor Hugo uses the fictional story of Jean Valjean and his redemption to persuade those in power to change things for the better, using the four “so long as” statements, the trials of Valjean and the people of France, and the solutions that they come upon.

Moana was officially released from the theatre on November 23, 2016, in the US. The main character in the film is a girl called Moana, who struggles to restore the heart of the goddess of the island.

Be prepared to enter the doors of 2001, with the wise words of Moulin Rouge and the latest popularity at the time. Also ’01 was the year I was born; to be exact on January 10th; the same week that a gunman opened fire on a family. The shooter was identified as Ki Yung Park; he owned a convenience store and was mentally disturbed. The reason he started firing at this family was due to him, accusing that Chung Chang (another business owner) that he was wrecking his business, meddling with his marriage and even having an affair with his wife. Ki Yung Park started by shooting the couple’s daughter then the father as he tried to escape. After that he shot the mother and put her corpse in the stores cooler, then lastly tried to leave the scene of the crime. Yet he was caught by an officer who was showing up due to report he had received. Then the murder barricaded himself until the SWAT team shows up and realizes its game over. He takes the gun and shoot himself and it’s all over; this all happened the day before my birth in Houston, TX. This was all mentioned in the newspaper the “Los Angeles Times”. However, ’01 had its good and bad moments; especially in movies.

“One for all, and all for one!”(Herek) The most famous and noticeable line in the Three Musketeers folklore legacy whether it be from the films to the original book by Alexandre Dumas. Although this famous line has been used throughout many reworks and adaptations of the three musketeers, many films have not followed in the footsteps of the original book and have changed things to best appeal to the audience. Most noticeably we see this in the 1993 Musketeer movie directed by Stephen Herek that proclaimed that the main character D’Artagnan, father was killed to set a tense mood. However, with that being said, there are also many things that reflect the time in which the book was written and also the social and political hierarchy and structure
