Rec: Movie Analysis

Tambien la lluvia was very different from the usual movies that I have seen. Tambien la lluvia didn’t have any cheesy line to extort emotion from the viewers, but instead it used realistic imagery to paint a clear picture of fear and pain that the native endures during the time which was very heartfelt. Tambien la lluvia was very unique. The movie was a documentary inside of a movie. The documentary in the movie correlate with what the villager face. For instance, back in the 1600s the native faced hardship such as getting their limbs chop off for not finding enough good. In current days, the villager faced hardship due to that fact that the government prohibit them from

The film The Words is a drama-based movie starring Bradley Cooper as the main character Rory Jansen. It takes place simultaneously during World War II and the present day as it shifts back and forth based on the plot. Rory lives in New York City with his wife, Dora, as he quits his old job and struggles to get his books published. The movie also featured Dennis Quaid as Clayton Hammond. This film did not cost much, with the budget turning out to be only $6 million, which is quite low for a film in the United States; however, it has had a lot of success and has been rated a 7 out of 10 by IMDb .

For my extra credit assignment I decided to watch The Legend of Zorro directed by Martin Campbell. The Legend of Zorro is an action/adventure film, which shows the life of the Legendary Zorro and Californians in the 1850s. This is an important film because it brings up the idea of Mexicans becoming American citizens; however, it shows the reality that not everyone wants to become an American and/or want the Americas to continue to grow, because some want the west lands to be destroyed because of how Americans have stolen their land.

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.

The theme of undermining machismo is prevalent and blunt throughout the movie. A theme that an Argentinian audience would have recognized much more easily than an American audience. The hero of the story Benjamin is ruthlessly beaten down to the

The imagination that went into the creation of the story line of this film keeps me in awe. This is the film that we have been waiting to watch for years. Ghost and masked killer films are scary but, that is what all directors are producing now. To see Fede Alvarez

Second Term Research Essay: Cinematic Aspects of “Apocalypse Now” Humanities for a Global Age AP/HUMA 2600 6.0A Sara Ducic Apocalypse Now is a film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and although it comes across as a war film at first glance, Apocalypse Now is a thriller/drama about the human psyche. Using no surrealist imagery, and a grounded realistic mis-en-scene, the film effectively uses cinematic techniques such as lighting, camera angles, camera movements and shots, colour and an array of other techniques to situate the viewer within a surrealist world of war and darkness. The film provides us with an intimate look into the mental struggles of each character, and the torment that they face when embarking

The first film of this essay is Zombieland by Ruben Fleischer, this film focuses on the adventures of an awkward and quirky guy called Columbus as he tries to get back to his parents while surviving the zombie apocalypse.

One undeniably successful element of Scary Movie, however, is the atmosphere, specially all the scenes outside of the haunted house. With the party like ambience, the fog, the chilly fall night, and the haunted house as the backdrop, it brings about memories of going to haunted hayrides and other such Halloween attractions growing up. Sometimes the wait and build up to an attraction is just as enjoyable as the actual attraction itself, and that is fairly well represented in this

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.

The film had a more serious element to it, making the fear in the film more horrifying. The first half of the film was weird it also took a decent length for things to rumble. Yet unlike the original the death scenes were more gruesome, I closed my eyes in some scenes. Horrific sounds of people screaming sounded so real it scared me. The effects were sweet but the acting was a terrifying tale of chaos on it's on level. I couldn’t have cared less to what was about to happen to these people with their mediocre skills they call acting. Terrifyingly bad acting for a horror film can make it legendary or destroy it. In this storytelling the acting was butchered like a cold slab of rotten meat. I totally thought the homage to “The Shining” was a pleasant trip down memory lane to a better film, but the effects as well as deaths were grisly disturbing images which was one of the things I was digging about this film. To me the connection to the characters weren’t as easy going to which the original

Movies always have life lessons scattered throughout them. The Sandlot has many of them, and that is why it is my favorite movie. Some of the life lessons are: invite the new kid to play, don’t overthink things and keep trying, believe you are worthy, go above and beyond for your friends, and confront your fears. Throughout the movie, the boys developed an unbreakable bond, went on adventures, and loved roasting each other; it was hilarious. I love how the movie is set up to teach others lessons and to entertain them as well.
