Being that when someone’s writing is published it can turn into a movie or a TV series. take a look at The Mortal Instruments By Cassandra Clare. the first book was turned into a movie, but that plan didn’t go quite well, so they turned the whole book series into a TV Series. The people who play the character’s would never be able to if Cassandra Clare didn’t write The Mortal Instruments. Not to mention all the new TV series would not be if not for the writers who create every single new episode. I mean come on! Who doesn’t love a good show about love or adventure? A show about twin sisters who take two different paths. A show about a about Merlin and how he came to be known. So much comes from writing. For the most part, writing is, and creates

First impressions are not always right. This is what this essay is about, and my opinion is that you should not judge even though it's hard not to.

Despite the seemingly silly premise, they have inserted quite a few smart plotlines and clever character arcs. The problem is that the series takes a long time to come into its own. You do not get an instant feel for the mood or character the same way you do with Family Guy, South Park or they way you did with 24.

In 2006 a movie called United 93 was released in theatres all over the world. It was directed by Paul Greengrass, who is from England. The theme is terror and is about what happened to the fourth and final hijacked plane on 9/11. This movie tells the story of both what went on inside the plane with the passengers and the terrorists, and what happened “behind the scenes” in the FAA and in the flight control towers all over USA.

I don’t think so. How can it be disrespectful, when he asked for permission to make this film from all the

12 Angry Men is a 1957 American courtroom drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose. Written and co-produced by Rose himself and directed by Sidney Lumet, this trial film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt, forcing the jurors to question their morals and values. In the United States, a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: out of 96 minutes of run time, only three minutes take place outside of the jury room.

It is common in today's media-driven society to reach into the past for inspiration and ideas. A trend has developed where original works are transformed into other mediums. For example: books are turned into movies and/or plays, movies are turned into weekly sitcoms, and cartoons will spawn empires (Disney). These things happen so often that an audience rarely stops to question the level of authenticity that remains after these conversions. Perhaps it is only when a project is not well received that people begin to think of the difficulties involved with changing a work's genre. Using Gulliver's Travels as an example, discrepancies and additions in the movie can be

One of the most iconic movies from the 80’s is Top Gun. From the thrilling flight scenes to Tom Cruise 's winning smile, the movie was, and remains, a hit. Maverick, played by Tom Cruise, is sent to an elite naval flight school with his best friend Goose. Both men must undergo training in an extremely competitive environment. to become the best pilots in the academy. They face many challenges and loss along the way. Throughout the movie Top Gun, the hyper-masculine environment of flight school allows for there to be a much more fluid relationship between homosexuality and homosociality. Unlike in everyday occurrences, where romantic exchanges between men are considered gay, the exchanges between the characters in the movie are often considered completely normal. Though not every scene in the movie portrays this accepting, modern perception of homosocial relations. The movie often contradicts itself by also displaying hypermasculine scenes. This contradiction illustrates how there 's not only multiple perceptions of masculine behavior but also a conflict in society about the proper way for men to act while together.
