Movie Analysis : ' Rush Hour 2 '

The 1946 film The Killers is a renowned film noir based off of Ernest Hemingway’s short story of the same title, focusing on the detailed backstory and investigation for the motive of the murder of Pete Lund/Ole Anderson, commonly known and referred to as “The Swede.” A film noir is a term made originally to describe American mystery and thriller movies produced in the time period from 1944-1954, primarily marked by moods of menace, pessimism, and fatalism. Although the film does not focus on the war itself at all, it still puts forth interesting new ways in how gender relations can be stereotypical as well as divergent proceeding the Second World War.

Paul Haggis directed an Oscar winning film in 2004 called “Crash”, this movie basically talks about racism and the impact it has on the lives of people in Los Angeles. This movie got a good response from the viewers, as it concentrated on some real harsh realities of racism and asked some hard questions which are generally avoided in movies. This movie clearly promotes the a very delicate issue, and hence requires some detailed assessment. I personally feel the movie was good and it portrayed some very common events of racism, I think “Crash” shows realities, but in a not-so-realistic way.

Die Hard, a film directed by John McTiernan, successfully utilized several aesthetics, which offered viewers various meanings throughout the duration of the film. Although the diverse meanings grasped by viewers may differ, it was clear to me that McTiernan effectively applied elements of cinematography and mise-en-scene that resulted in viewers being allowed to interpret a range of different meanings or functions of the elements.

O Brother Where Art Thou "O Brother Where Art Thou" is a comedy that was directed and written by Ethan and Joel Coen. The Coen brothers, who are sociologists, wanted to conduct a film that portrayed the south. The scene I have chosen that contributes to the overall theme of the movie is the Klan rally. It begins with the of the rally members and in a three shot, Everett, Delmar, and Pete rise up from behind the bushes in blackface to find that they've stumbled across a Klan rally. Forming geometric shapes, the Klan members were marching and singing in unison.

Paul Haggis directed the Oscar winning film Crash in 2004, a movie based around race, class, gender, ageism, and institutional discrimination. The movie was located in Los Angeles, which many of us know is a giant melting-pot for stereotypes. Culture is a set of human-made objective and subjective elements that in the past have increased the probability of survival and resulted in satisfaction for the participant in an ecological niche, and thus became shared among those who could communicate with each other because they had a common language and they lived in the same time and place. The they show a diverse variety of cultures, from American to Chinese, including White, African American, Chinese, Hispanic, Muslim, Christian, wealthy, poor, law makers, law enforcers, law breakers, and more. These people are who they are because of how they were raised, their experiences, and the values, rituals, and beliefs of their culture that they grew up with.Throughout my final paper I will be explaining how the movie tied into our class discussion specifically towards race stereotyping and prejudice shown throughout the movie.

Before one can examine the methodology of ethnic and gender portrayals displayed in the film, one must first understand the context in which it was made. Directed by American director Brett Ratner, the sequel to the popularized film Rush Hour was written by American screenwriter Ross LaManna. This is an important notion to consider because it presents an immediate bias as to the accuracy of ethnic representations that are conveyed in the film. The partnership of Jackie Chan’s character Lee and Chris Tucker’s character Carter, may seem as a progressive leap into

Seeking redemption is not always easy, but hard work, time, and effort will assure that redemption is achieved. During Paul Haggis’ drama film Crash, there were several scenes that showed racial tension and redemption in a Los Angeles neighborhood. It is never easy for someone to redeem forgiveness from someone they have harmed recently, but it is all about the effort one puts to change into a better person they want to be. Even though some may never forgive someone who has done them wrong no matter the circumstances, it takes determination, commitment, and time to achieve redemption, because you have to acknowledge the harm you caused the people around you, it is one-hundred percent your decision whether you go through with it, and if you want to be forgiven.

Rear Window directed by Alfred Hitchcock is revered as one of the greatest movies in American Cinema; every shot and plot point in the story considered a work of art from the creative mind of the ambitious director. Due to this, it has been referenced many times in pop culture, TV shows, amongst other forms of media. One of these TV shows is the long-running titan of cartoons, The Simpsons. The episode “Bart of Darkness” is a parody of the whole movie, using the camera angles and plot points from the movie for comedic and mocking purposes, yet in its own peculiar way pays homage to the source material and Hitchcock with respect.

I’ve always had a particular fondness for movies that made me think. I love long, drawn out movie scripts that include lots of plot twists, where the movies intent and message is not always clear right up front. This particular reason is why I chose to evaluate the movie American Hustle. I really enjoy watching this movie because of the overall story, the characters, and the actors that were cast in this production.

Many movies try to tackle huge issues that face society in hopes that the ideas presented will encourage society to change. In Crash directed by Paul Haggis, he tackles the idea of racism through cause and effect between multiple groups of people in the different races. The world has been racist and intolerant of people different from themselves. Millions of people have suffered due to the prejudice of people that couldn’t understand the change of differences among one another. Long time ago, in the United States people who were not straight white, that didn’t have blue eyes or blonde hair but had darker skin were classified as inferior to anyone else. Racism has been a problem since the very first day two men of different races met. Even now, racism is still considered a big issue in our society. The movie Crash shows good examples of how racism against oneself is caused by fear, misunderstanding, deals with the issue of stereotypes and the idea of innocence and has an element of kill or be killed with the imperfections of life.

The comedic movie “Rush Hour” is known for its clever humor and intriguing diversion of two extremely different cultures. The movie Rush Hour, is starred by the actor Jackie Chan and famous comedian and actor Chris Tucker. James Carter played by Chris Tucker, as a Los Angeles police department officer is given the role by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, also known as the F.B.I., to babysit Inspector Lee and keep him out of the ongoing kidnapping investigation. Jackie Chan, known in the movie as Inspector Lee, is a private inspector from China that is sent to the United States by the Chinese Ambassador to help find his daughter who was kidnapped. These two characters with two mismatched personalities, are forced to work together to solve the case that will ultimately lead to the rescue of the Chinese Ambassador’s daughter.

I recommend 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016), directed by Dan Trachtenberg for its effective use of elements that are important to the structure of a Horror story, such as the characteristics of the sublime, strong characters and the incredible ability of John Goodman to create an atmosphere that compels one to believe the situation they are presented with, and its ability to create a thrilling, suspenseful, and frightening story for its audience.
