Movie Analysis : The Lorax

A League of Their Own (Marshall, 1992) explicitly characterizes an American era when a woman’s place was in the home. Even our modern perspective implicitly follows suit. Although women have gained rights and freedoms since the 1930’s, sexism remains prevalent in America. This film offers an illustration when men went to war and big business men utilized women as temporary replacements in factories, sports, and so on. Here, course concepts, such as gender socialization, gender expressions, role stereotypes, emotion expressions, and language, correspond to the film’s characters and themes.

Pollution- The connection with pollution to which happens in the Lorax movie was clear and which was the following. When the Once-ler made his Thneeds everyone went crazy for them causing for higher demands. Thus this led to him chopping down trees with large machinery which also shown black thick chemicals get released into the atmosphere. Also not to mention when his factory gets upgraded it also increases pollution amounts.

You probably noticed changes in the environment as the Once-ler went about the business of making thneeds. You might, for example, remember that the Lorax complained about the “smoggy air” caused by the Once-ler’s factory. The smoggy air is an environmental problem. An environmental problem occurs when the condition of something or someone in the natural environment is threatened by a change. The air was clean and fresh before the Once-ler’s activities; but pollution made it dirty and smelly. That is, the

The factories in the industrial revolution were bad for the environment. An excerpt from document #11, The Conditions Of The Working Class In England, states that there was smelly puddles, unpaved roads, and filth and garbage everywhere. These things are bad for the environment and they all were created by the factories during the industrial revolution. In the photo of the outside of a factory, from document #7, you can see that there was a ton of pollution coming from the factories. There was also gunk

In the Lorax the main issue was that a big company was using all of the resources at one time. By the company using all of the resources at one time they lost a lot of the great parts of their environment. The big machines the used created smog which polluted the air. Not only did they pollute the air but then dumps huge amounts of gunk in the water sources. The outcome of that was a polluted water supply and polluted food. This story did not happen in real life (Fiction), however it was a great prime example of one of the major things that pollute our earth.

Gracie’s Choice is the true-story film based on the case of Amy Waldroop, who at seventeen years old, took on the task of raising her three half-brothers and half-sister. The film explores the different obstacles that Amy had to overcome in order to escape from a redundant foster care system, ensure that she and her siblings were not separated, and end the detrimental relationship between herself and her mother. Although some details in the film differ from the actual story, the representation of the neglected child mentality through Amy’s eyes and Gracie’s character provides an in-depth argument about what impact parental relationships have on a child, and social commentary on the growing culture of the foster care system and its faults.

Dr. Seuss once said, “I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongue” By this he means that he is trying to protect the trees because they can’t speak for themselves. After reading the Lorax, he aims for the reader to be aware of their capability of abusing natural resources. Little did you know that we can harm our environment without even realizing it. When the children’s book The Lorax is analyzed from a moral point of view; readers will discover important environmental warnings. He uses real-world issues to write about some of his children's book to make the boys and girls aware but in a kid-friendly way so they can understand.

In the story, Once-ler discovers the resource, truffula trees, and uses it as the main product of his business. After his destruction of a truffula tree, he’s then warned by the Lorax to cease his actions. Nevertheless, the Once-ler fails to recognize his concern and the dowry of his actions began to surface. The atrocities that occurred due to his operation resulted in deforestation and pollution, which inevitably created a egregious environment that was no longer habitual to the inhabitants of the area. Despite his actions, the Once-ler does

Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run (1998) is truly a brilliant film. It is very seldom that a film manages to combine the high pace of an action thriller and a deep philosophical subtext without botching it, but Run Lola Run does an excellent job at striking a balance between both. Tackling the very abstract and philosophical concepts of chance and cause-effect, Run Lola Run is truly a modern foreign classic. Tykwer manages to postulate one simple theory through the film, that the simplest of choices can completely change everything. The film is supported by stellar performances from Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu as the protagonist Lola and her boyfriend, Manni. The film’s use of cinematography to add to the narrative, clever use of the aspects of mise-en-scene and explosively-paced soundtrack add a whole new dimension to this film. One of the few German films to be both a critical and commercial success, Run Lola Run is a smart and stimulating film, which demands active watching in order to understand fully. I will now analyze the film comprehensively using three main parameters; the mise-en-scene, the cinematography and the sound.

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss depicts a world ravaged by deforestation and suffering from other environmental crises. In the town of Thneedville, an aspiring capitalist begins to sell his new product and as a result of booming business, the cornerstone of his business pays the price. The trees, the only natural resource used in production, are harvested to the point of extinction. The lack of trees leads to soil erosion, air pollution, and species extinction. While this is a children’s tale and Dr. Seuss’s illustration may be quite extreme, it is a reality for future generations of our planet. Human involvement in ecosystems by clearing land for urban development, logging, and agriculture have all exacerbated the rate of decline in the region’s natural systems. The deforestation of rainforests for the cultivation of palm oil is causing the possible extinction of orangutans and exacerbating air quality issues in Indonesia.

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

Because I have already seen A League of Their Own, I had the unique opportunity to watch it with a more critical eye; both viewings, one looking for entertainment and one looking for historical accuracy and film analysis, produced the same analysis: the film was extremely entertaining and used several film elements well. A League of Their Own contained all of the elements that make up a satisfying movie: it expressed humor, conflict, and tenderness among others. As the saying goes, the film has something for everyone, whether it be a comic relief or a heartfelt relationship. Because of it’s content and the fact that it was directed by a woman, it is also an important piece of feminist film. Historical inaccuracies should not be held against

The Lorax is a message to others to make them know about the cause of cutting down trees, but people around the world are chopping down trees and that is extremely dangerous. Chopping down trees is the cause of global warming, only due to carbon dioxide being released from trees, into the atmosphere, and is trapped there due to the source like bubble from our Exosphere. It is also troubling enough to make animals have to migrate to find new homes. People aren’t even trying to know about trees and the fact that destroying forest and local woods by either a fire or just cutting down trees in very big due to there are now animals who are becoming extinct from being killed by animals because they have nowhere to hide or their homes are absolutely demolished due to the destruction by humanity’s needy supplies and a vigorous need for more.

For the most part, though a childrenʻs story, The Lorax is an environmentalist message targeted to urge young readers who are in time, going to determine our future, to learn from the tragic results of the Oncelerʻs actions. In the beginning of the story, the Onceler discovers the trufffula trees and begins to cut them down carelessly to make clothing, which in turn provided him money to use for his own selfish reasons. In reaction to the Oncelerʻs cruel actions, the Lorax confronts and warns the Onceler that if he continues to pollute the environment and cutting down the resources and homes of the species that live in it there will be consequences. Not caring about anything or anyone but himself, the Onceler continues to cut down the trees and use them for his own benefits, which continues to cause damage to the land and the species

‘UNLESS’ a film like this was made our human impacts would not be portrayed. Today our environment is not the same, hence the human adaptations that have been made. In this generation humans are focusing on what happens in the present day instead of elaborating on the issues they have caused during the past. Humans make a living by reshaping things to fit themselves. “ We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking used when we created them.” (Albert Einstein). In consideration the film ‘The Lorax’ portrays these messages. The illumination entertainment – ‘The Lorax’ film evokes a meaningful environmental message. Despite the swelling of emotions, real life sounds and the expansion of scenery and characters, these elements help depict the environmental vibes and messages in their own unique way. The film was released on the first of March 2012. The directors Chris Renaud and Kyle Balsa have adapted the book ‘The Lorax’ story by Dr Seuss. “ A tree falls the way it leans, be careful which way you lean.” (DR. Seuss) and let the lorax set the stage.
