Based off Charles Webb’s 1963 novel by the same name, The Graduate is an American romantic comedy/drama released in the United States on December 21, 1967 starring Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, and William Daniels. The film was directed by Mike Nichols, produced by Lawrence Turman and the screenplay written by Buck Henry and Calder Willingham. The film was produced by Lawrence Turman/Mike Nichols productions starting in March of 1967. Mike Nichols has also directed other well known films such as Catch-22 (1970), Working Girl (1988), and more recently Closer (2004).

Levine, the films executive producer, also claims production/distribution for other hit films such as Godzilla, King of Monsters! (1956), The Fog (1980), and Prom Night (1980). The movie was well received due to its $104 million dollar box office opening tab. The score was produced by Dave Grusin and the songs written by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.

The past decade has seen superhero movies rise to box office dominance. This is a new trend. Batman and Superman movies found success early, but the surprise blockbusters Spider-man and X-men at the turn of the millennium revealed that the market for comic based entertainment was not yet saturated (Fritz, 2014). Looking back a decade and a half later, consumer demand has clearly spoken: six of the last ten highest grossing movies were based on comic books: Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man 3, The Avengers, Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen, The Dark Knight, and Spider-Man 3 (Lev-Ram, 2015). Today, studios have demonstrated confidence that this trend will continue. For example, movies set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are scheduled out until at least 2019, with Inhumans set for release in June of that year (Marvel, 2015).

The Frontline film Separate and Unequal discussed about creating a new school system; however, there are opposition by others who wants to maintain the current school system. If we look at the perspectives of the two groups, it is understandable in why there is support and opposition from the people of the city. The supporters of the new system wants a system that can provide better opportunities for their children without any violence. As the film claimed “the school was not teaching and were only babysitting the children”, which was likely a reason why there was a need for a new school system. With the chaotic and uncontrollable situation in the current system, many supporters have push forward the idea of a new system in a new city. From

Upon looking at films that typically earn profits in ancillary markets, they have high potential with video game sales, novelization, and toy sales. Unfortunately for the producers of the film, Get Out will not be made into a video game or toys. The target audience is certainly older adults, so the only potential for a supplemental release would be the creation of a novel. The limited possibilities of further releases in the ancillary markets limits the potential for growth after theaters, so this will be important to track over the film’s

According to the text, education is defined as the social institution responsible for the systematic transmission of knowledge, skills, and cultural values within a formally organized structure (Kendall, p. 462). Every human has a right to an education. Despite this definition, evidence of inequality based on race, class, and gender can be seen in the system despite good intentions to promote awareness of and appreciation for cultural differences.

All of these films were very successful that resulted in record box-office revenue. The New

This paper will show how by analyzing some relevant evidence of the Star Wars impact on different industries. To help me in this task I chose three reliable sources of evidence, the first one is about the turnover generated by the movies, for that purpose I picked the information from the specialized website Box Office Mojo. The two others refer to the relevance of the Star Wars franchise for other related industries. First of all, we have to consider the amount of the turnover generated by the film franchise for over forty years.

The motion picture industry is a competitive business. More than 50 studios produce a total of 300 to 400 new motion pictures each year, and the financial success of each motion picture varies considerably. The opening weekend gross sales ($millions), the total gross sales ($millions), the number of theaters the movie was shown in, and the number of weeks the motion picture was in the top 60 for gross sales are common variables used to measure the

It taught students that death is around every corner they turn around in their lives. The concept of the love and sex stories taught the students that how far people will risk in order to get affection from other people.

In Elijah Anderson theory of “The Code of the Street”, he talks about the street codes in poor inner city African American communities, where he specifically talks about African American men being under pressured by responding to certain disrespectful situations with violence. His theory reflected not only my neighborhood, but the movie “Juice”, where four childhood best friends from Harlem are looking for a way to get power and respect called the “Juice”. In the movie, they all are in high school. Q lives in single parent household with his little brother.

There are many different types of film and film genres. A film can fit into more than one genre, but there are some genres that are more general than others. Some examples of film genre are animated, science fiction, documentary, comedy, and historical fiction. Within each genre, there are also specific characteristics that help support themes and story lines within that genre.

Superhero movies have become increasingly popular over the past two decades. From the success of comic book adaption movies such as Batman in 1989, the 21st century could arguably be called the age of superhero movies. Nowadays, comic book companies such as Marvel and DC Comics are making much more money from motion pictures than from actual comic books. As University of Calgary professor Bart Beaty (2016) states, “… it has become clear that [superhero comic books] are no longer a significant popular cultural phenomenon in their own right; rather, superhero comic books have become the source material for more lucrative media forms ranging from movies and television, to video games and licensed properties like toys and t-shirts” (p. 318). In fact, three of the top ten highest grossing movies of all time (Iron Man 3, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and The Avengers) are based on superheroes (All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses). Ever since the inception of superhero movies in the nineties, film companies saw the potential to making a lot of money by capitalizing on bringing the many stories of various superheroes to the big screen. However, with film companies so focused on financial gain, it is easy to unintentionally disregard context and deep characterization in favour of big action set pieces. While the superhero genre brings fresh and creative ideas to the cinemas, since they are initially created due to profitability, most comic book adaption movies are poorly-written and
