Robert De Nero Raging Bull

    Movies are meant to evoke emotion in a person and attach them to the story being told on the big screen. Writer, William Broyles, Jr., in his movie, Cast Away, shares the story of a desperate man, Chuck Noland, trying to survive after being stranded on an island. Broyles’s purpose is to make the audience feel for Chuck and share the same feeling that he is going through. He adopts a sad and serious tone in order to do this that allows the mature audience to show emotion towards Chuck. The ways he makes the audience feel for him include: repetition, personification, and camera angle/ sad music. With all of these combined, Broyles is able to manipulate the audience into feeling for Chuck.

Cast Away was a movie about a man, Chuck Noland, who gets trapped in an island after the plane he was on crashed. He was on an assignment to go to malaysia for Fedex when the plane goes down during a storm. He started with nothing when he first got to the island except a raft and a couple fedex boxes. Throughout the movie he goes through a series of challenges and changes that demonstrate all five tiers of Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs pyramid.

When Arthur Miller published “The Crucible” in 1953, the play’s audience was a nation of Americans seized in the grip of McCarthyism. The Communist “witch hunt” has long since ended, but the public’s fascination with this shameful piece of American history has not. The original play unfolded over the course of 4 acts that mainly consisted of dialogue. As a result, the creators of the 1996 movie adaptation had an ample degree of creative latitude to update the narrative for a modern audience. Director Nicholas Hytner utilized a host of cinematic techniques that enabled the moving images to tug the heartstrings of the audience just as effectively as the book had done before. Given the temporal limitations of a film, several scenes were

I saw the play The Crucible and there were examples of styles of directing and acting that were very interesting. The production was put on by the University of Arizona’s theatre department and as such the directing and acting had its good points and its bad ones.

This movie is about a man (Chuck) who is always kept up on time and how important it is to be and keep track on time. In the movie, Chuck gets stuck on an island and is challenged by nature to survive on the island and later get off the island. Once he finds a way to get the island he is reunited with the real world and has a feeling of gratefulness for everything that he has. He realizes he needs to live every moment like if it was your last. The theme of Cast Away is that there is always a way to survive the difficulties in life whether it may be physical, mental or emotional obstacles. The movie portrays this through symbols, settings and character development.

Therefor he believed it was important that all of the actors involved in the production to know and agree on the superobjective. The method of physical actions, This idea grew from Stanislavski's feeling that his actors were being overwhelmed by too much character and plot detail at an early stage of the rehearsal process. He believed this led them to try to hard, which resulted in physical and mental tension. In the last five years of his life Stanislavski explored a different approach to working on a production, in which the company began by telling the story of a play's plot through its main physical actions.

Additionally, this fluctuation of faith can also be seen through Chuck Noland in Cast Away. When Chuck Noland reaches his lowest point of hopelessness, he attempts to commit suicide. As time progresses, his faith in seeing Kelly again slowly diminish because Noland is aware that “she had to let [him] go” (Zemeckis, Cast Away). He realizes that she probably thinks that he is already dead and thus in a sense, Noland knows that he has already lost her. Like Pi, Noland also loses his motivation of surviving, as he believes Kelly has moved on with her life and begins to believe that he is going die alone on this island.

     “Raging Bull” (1980) is not a so much a film about boxing but more of a story about a psychotically jealous, sexually insecure borderline homosexual, caged animal of a man, who encourages pain and suffering in his life as almost a form of reparation. Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece of a film drags you down into the seedy filth stenched world of former middleweight boxing champion Jake “The Bronx Bull” LaMotta. Masterfully he paints the picture of a beast whose sole drive is not boxing but an insatiable obsessive jealously over his wife and his fear of his own underling sexuality. The movie broke new ground with its brutal unadulterated no-holds-bard look at the vicious sport of boxing by bringing the camera

The essay investigates how a director should communicate and work with actors during rehearsal and on set to produce engaging performances. The essay investigates different acting styles, the rehearsal process, directing on set and communication between actors and director. The essay assumes the actor has formal training and basic experience. The essay then proves effective communication achievable through the “actor’s vocabulary” is key not to over-direct and building trust with the actor.

Method acting is often misinterpreted as an acting exercise where the actor “becomes” the character, and keeps the persona of that character until they have completed their work. This misguided thinking has been promoted by pop culture and even sometimes by actors themselves. The Lee Strasberg Film & Theatre Institute defines the Method as when “actors use their imagination, sense and emotion to conceive characters with unique and original behavior, creating performances grounded in the human truth of the moment.” This definition focuses more on the relationship between the actor and their character, rather than both being one and the same. Method acting is not a new idea. It is thought to have been considered an acting exercise for
