Rationale:
I have come up with the idea to create a movie based on the core structure and themes of the play Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward. This movie will be a major romance and more shifted toward gaining the public’s acclaim rather than achieving critical success. The audience we will be targeting are young teenage girls and women. Romantic movies have always been primarily liked by females. It gives them an excuse to get together with their friends and to dream about getting swept of their feet by their dream guy. Women are known to be very emotional and this romantic movie will have them laughing at some scenes and crying at others. They will fall in love with Cameron’s (protagonist) beautiful personality and show compassion

She cannot be happy for him now that he has found love again. In the adaptation, egotistical qualities are included in all of the main characters. Elsa and Rebecca fight over Cameron, but are blinded and can’t see how both relationships are too flawed to work out. Cameron exemplifies selfishness when he decides to date both women at the same time, which isn’t fair to them. Coward shows through his novel that it is impossible to love two people.
The return of love is another theme, when Charles returns he becomes torn between the two women. He has been married to Elvira for five years and claims he still loves her, however promises that he loves Ruth currently. Charles believes he can love two people at once, however Ruth and Elvira do not take this well. For the women it has to be one or the other and disastrous results occur as they battle over their husband. The play is about the struggles of love and marriage. In the end Charles ends up leaving his two wives proving he couldn’t love two different people. By having two people in his life, Charles was in constant confusion and everything was chaotic. Truly loving someone is a bond that can never be broken, you may find someone else however the connection may be different (in a good way or a bad way). It was unfair to his wives by trying to prolong each of their relationships, because it created jealousy and he ended up losing both of them because of it. When Cameron
Lewis’ use of repetition as he explains the purpose of the Opera to the characters reveals his changed attitudes towards women and relationships, and values the idea that Henry has love and commitment. The juxtaposition of ‘comedy’ and ‘tragedy’ capture the context the play was set within as this was a time when free love seemed to be valued over fidelity and
The lovers are in love with themselves being in love. They love each other, but are more preoccupied with being seen as lovers. They often feign mild hatred. She is extremely aware of being watched and plays with the audience for sympathy in their plight and ccasionally flirts with spectators.
What were Edwin S. Porter's significant contributions to the development of early narrative film? In what sense did Porter build upon the innovations of contemporaneous filmmakers, and for what purposes?
One of the many themes of the play is that of love. Many different types of love are depicted in the book. There is: Parental Love (Egeus and Hermia, Titania and Little Indian Boy), Friendly Love (Helena and Hermia, The Workmen), Unrequited Love (Helena and Demetrius), Official Love (Hermia and Demetrius), Argumentative Love (Oberon and Titania), Mad Sexual Love (Bottom and Titania),Passionate Love (Hermia
The controversial movie Get out is a movie that none of the public expected which worked out in the director, Jordan Peel’s favor. The genre is unknown to even the director of the movie even though others have classified the film as a comedy. From first-hand experience of watching the film, I can assure you that, that is not the case. Get out deals with racism issues e.g., when the main character’s white girlfriend, Rose Armitage, played by Allison Williams, hits a deer on the way to her parent's house with her black boyfriend, Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya, with him sitting in the passenger side. When Rose calls the police to report the issue, the police officer proceeds to ask for Chris’ driver's license although he was not the one driving. Rose makes a scene telling the officer that it was not fair that he had to present his license and Chris was quietly trying to calm her down because he knew that it was not going to make a difference. By putting this scene into the movie, the director wanted to address some of the issues that African Americans have to deal with from the police.
The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is about the dilemma of choosing love over loyalty for your family. In the story Romeo and Juliet come from separate families who hate each other, but still find love in each other. They get married without telling their families and eventually the two families get into a fight which ends in Romeo getting banished from the city where Juliet lives. They have a plan for him to get back into to the city to prevent Juliet from being forced to marry another man, but it fails and ends with the suicide death of both Juliet and Romeo. Shakespeare's major theme in the text is that Love plays a major role in our lives and can heavily affect our decisions.
The movie thirteen touched many important factors of adolescent’s development. Some of the ones I want to concentrate in this paper are: family system, developmental tasks, and peer pressure.
In the movie A Better Life, the Main Character Carlos Galindo is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who started working as a day labor worker when he first arrived in the country, however he has had steady work from Blasco Martinez who owns a gardening business which he tries to convince Carlos to buy from him as he says he is moving. The idea of being self employed is very appealing to Carlos but he knows he can never afford to do so and the risk of getting caught and deported is very high. Carlos has a son Luis who is reluctant to go to school on a daily basis and gets into trouble as he is influenced by his friends who are part of the
The Big Short is a movie about the crash of the housing market in 2008. This economic crisis of 2008 is similar, but different, than the economic crisis of the Great Depression in 1929. They were both an economic downfall creating panic in the US economy.
Cry, the Beloved Country is a moving story of the Zulu pastor Stephen Kumalo and his son Absalom. They live in an Africa torn apart by racial tensions and hate. It is based on a work of love and hope, courage, and endurance, and deals with the dignity of man. The author lived and died (1992) in South Africa and was one of the greatest writers of that country. His other works include Too Late the Phalarope, Ah, but Your Land Is Beautiful, and Tales from a Troubled Land.
Even in her state of anger she cannot help but once again be the restrained and subdued one in their relationship. Despite all of the happiness she has found with Rochester she still cannot bring herself to stay in a relationship in which she sacrifices part of herself, because she doesn’t know how to reconcile her need feel like she belongs and is taken care of while at the same time remaining uncorrupted.
My original aims for my screenplay was to create an emotional response from the audience. I wanted to do this by using the stylistic features such as using; voice-overs, suitable code and conventions for my genre, narrative structure, transitions and parenthetical. I wanted to tell
an example would be supporting and understanding each other. Romantic relationships vary in how they handle conflict is another concept in this movie. Conflict is a common characteristic of many romantic relationships. Andrea’s boyfriend, Nate, is quite childish in this movie. He cannot put up not being Andy’s number one priority, even though she only needs to work for a year to get her dream job. Instead of understanding her and supporting her, he mocks her fashion sense, but when Andrea started dressing better he gets hurt.
Beginners is Mike Mills’ second feature-length film, I would say it is a movie about the importance of the choices we makes to fill life with joy, rather than sadness. The movie focuses on three different stories all interwoven with each other. The person who helps tell each story and our protagonist is Oliver Fields, a 38-year old artist. We are shown his life now, he is alone and working as unfulfilling graphic artist. He lost his mother to cancer; immediately after that, his father tells him he is gay. Oliver struggles with the fact that his childhood was a fraud of sorts by the fact that his father hide who he was so long. Oliver watches and see as his father falls in love with a younger man; and then he watches his father, too, die of cancer. Three months after the death of his father, Oliver meets and slowly falls for a visiting French actress named Anna, forcing Oliver to decide if he’ll once again fall into his parents’ pattern of emotional distance or follow his dad’s new, fun-loving, in-the-moment example. We slowly learn that like Oliver, Anna is struggling with family issues as well. This connects them but also at times makes it hard for them to open up to each other. We follow their story through out the script. The second storyline is that of Oliver’s father Hal, who after spending years married but as a closeted gay man, he comes out at the age of 75, only to be diagnosed with cancer shortly after. Hal’s journey is about learning about his new lifestyle and
For the following analysis, I will be discussing the movie Fight Club’s two main characters. They are “Jack” played by Edward Norton, and Tyler Durden played by Brad Pitt. However the twist to the movie turns out that Jack and Tyler are the same person and Tyler is Jack’s real name. Tyler the character is everything that Jack the character is not. The story narration is provided by the protagonist of “Fight Club,” “Jack.” The ambivalent protagonist, who only refers to himself as “Jack.” An ambivalent protagonist, usually the main character, is someone the audience likes, but who possesses character flaws.
