This paper explores the Movie “It’s Complicated” a 2009 romantic comedy film, based of the novel written by Nancy Meyers. In this movie Jane and Jake Adler are a divorced couple of ten years. They start a secret love affair in New York, at their son’s graduation. While Jake is trying to have a family with his much younger wife, Agnes. I will be looking at if this is a possible mid-life crisis, genetics, or if it a developmental issue of Jake for wanting to be with his first wife, Jane.

Throughout the film Do the Right Thing, we continuously observe racial conflict that builds up to such an extreme point that it leads to a fight for power. This movie portrays the struggles and realities of a neighborhood with white and black African American people. This can be seen in many instances for example when Buggin ' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal 's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Another vital instance shows the height of power struggle. It is when the huge fight starts in the street and results in Raheem being killed by a white police officer.

O Brother Where Art Thou? The movie is set in Mississippi in the late 1930's, with The Great Depression looming in the background. A condensed plot, are that the three main characters Ulysses McGill, Pete Hogwallop and Delmar O'Donnell are convicts that break away from a chain gang. They break away because they're on a quest to find the treasure that Everett hid. As the three men go along in their literal chains, they run into a ton of problems and interesting characters like The KKK, a campaigning governor, a robber, and a blind prophet. From the research I have done, the popular opinion is that this film is loosely based on the book, "The Odyssey". The overall tone and mood is somewhat goofy, but it has some heavy topics behind it like The

Besides being a great film, Good Will Hunting offers a great basis for which linguistic studies regarding dialect can be done. The film offers a great contrast in characters from “Southie” to prestigious high-class individuals. While there is a noticeable difference in the dialect used, the focus is primarily on stereotypes between the lower and upper-class individuals. Language and dialects help to reinforce the stereotypes regarding socio-economic classes.

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.

Movies that fall into the genre of comedy are made to amuse and entertain just in the way the movie Tootsie did. Tootsie is a classic example of a comedy with its exaggerated situations and witty dialogue. The director Sydney Pollack was able to bring his lead actor, Dustin Hoffman, and his lead actress, Jessica Lange, together in this gender-bending comedy.

I found the play to be far superior in comparison to the original film version as the movie's writing glorified modern American consumerism. A post war financial boom brought a great amount of advertising and promotion, and the movie was overflowing with blatant celebration of products. The presence of sexism as well of the obvious lack of racially diverse main characters, was a big problem for me in my terms of likability of the movie. The play was able to strip itself of the gaudiness/lack of diversity and that left room for a brilliantly crafted sub-plot with a well rounded cast and smartly written script.

In the movie Silver Linings Playbook, by David O. Russel, depicts two main characters, Patrick Solitano Jr. and Tiffany Maxwell, that both struggle with psychological disorders. Patrick Solitano, who was a former high school teacher, catches his wife in the shower with another man (the history teacher) while his wedding song was playing, therefore instantly becoming violent. As a result of going berserk on the history teacher, he has to spend eight months in a psych ward, and is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. On the other hand, we have Tiffany Maxwell, who is thrown into a sea of depression due to a sudden car accident that kills her husband.

When it comes to the film industry, entertainment is the tool used to acquire what is desired, money. The main goal for filmmakers when they create a film is to attain money in addition to the money spent to make the movie. Therefore, in some films that they like to base off of true accounts, it is somewhat necessary to dramatize or embellish the story to really tug at the heartstrings of the films audience. They achieve this goal by the use of dramatic music, ambient lighting, and a small amount of tweaked diction. The Fighter is an excellent example of this dramatization in action because throughout the film the characters are faced with a multitude of decisions that must be made. The choices they make require the characters to choose

The Mighty overall was a very good film. It was cute, sad and funny, and the film had a good message. It was almost as good as the book, but the book had more detail than the movie. I enjoyed the the images in my head from reading the book become pictures. My first impression was that the movie wasn't going to be good at all, although it was better than I expected. Seeing Freak die in a movie almost made me cry, and when it happened in the book I really wasn’t sad at all. I really enjoyed the film overall.

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.

Dances with Wolves, is a standout amongst the most imperative films to ever leave Hollywood. For all its inadequacies, the film still goes far in bringing a preview of Native American society into the aggregate cognizance of prevailing America. The screenplay advances a more noteworthy comprehension, acknowledgement, and sensitivity for the Lakota society. There are numerous scenes inside the film that appear to support this thought. The humankind of the Lakota individuals and the familial obligations of tribal life are made open through these minutes moreover. I am thinking particularly about the different scenes in which "gift giving" is seen. The giving of gifts happens when Dunbar, prepares coffee for his visitors at the trooper stronghold. As the scene winds down, we see the warriors abandoning him with new coffee tin and mugs strapped to their backs and through a voice over portrayal, it is uncovered that he has additionally issued them some coffee and sugar to take back to their camp circle with them (Costner, p.23)..

The film “The Prestige” is one of many masterful Nolan films that walks the line between being a meta film about the film industry, and being focused on immersing the audience in the actual content of the film. At a close inspection, comparisons to the film industry can be seen, but they are not so obvious to distract the audience from the central conflicts that are at the forefront of the film. The subject of the film could most easily be defined as surrounding the topics of obsession or fame. More specifically, the obsession of fame, and the illusion of happiness that fame projects. The main characters of the movie both urn for the fame of being the world’s most successful entertainer, even if for different reasons.

The movie that I chose to analyze is The Hunger Games. This movie is about a girl, Katniss Everdeen, who volunteers as tribute for the seventy-fourth annual Hunger Games in the place of her sister, Primrose Everdeen, whose name was picked and announced at the reaping.
