Sion Sono Analysis

Last week's film was Un Chien Andalou, written by Luis Bañuel in collaboration with artist Salvador Dali and released in 1929 France. This film, for me, was a jarring introduction to the world or Surrealism, which I think most likely was Bañuel and Dali's goal. In the traditional sense of the word, the film has absolutely no plot and seems to flash from scene to scene with no rhyme or reason whatsoever. The first scene opens with a title card that reads "Once upon a time" and switches quickly to a man(played by Bañuel) standing on a balcony sharpening a razor while looking up at the moon that seems to be sliced in half by a passing cloud. The scene then flashes to the close up of a women staring straight ahead wide-eyed while the razor swiftly

Donnie Darko by director Richard Kelly is a thriller film that explores many aspects of social hierarchal tensions through the presentation of Donnie Darko’s life. The film consists of the his universe and a tangent universe; it shows how his social, family, and school interactions effects his role in society. From “Looking at Movies: An Introduction,” by Richard Barsam and Dave Monahan, film technique such as mise-en scene, cinematography and sound are used by Kelly in the lifeline sequence to dramatizes Donnie’s rebellion against inane ideals of the shallow authority figures at his school.

The Battle of Sio, fought between December 1943 and March 1944, was the break-out and pursuit phase of General Douglas MacArthur's Huon Peninsula campaign, part of the New Guinea campaign of World War II. Following the defeat of the Japanese in the Battle of Sattelberg, Australian Army forces broke through positions around Finschhafen. Constant pressure from US Navy PT boats, Australian land forces and Allied aircraft brought the Japanese logistical system to the brink of collapse, resulting in disease, malnutrition and privation for the Japanese soldiers. Australian and Papuan troops advanced along the coast, employing infantry, tanks, and air strikes against the Japanese positions, which were generally sited at creek crossings in the jungle.

Another technique Lee uses throughout the film is treating cinema as a visual experience through the eye and also through the gaze. He sets up the film in such a way the objects seen in the movie were really present, while these objects are also used for symbolic construction, building a relationship between the spectator and the screen (Elsaesser 100). Lee also uses the strategies of alienation and identification throughout the entire film which further helps engage the audience’s emotions and makes them think throughout the film about what is the right

Orlando shares a common language as the majority culture and a cultural root. In Orlando’s interview (Garzon, 2010a), Orlando points out that he is a US citizen because Cuba is a territory. Latin Americans have a strong family bond. Orlando shares how he keeps in touch with family members via emails, letters, and technology (Garzon, 2010a). Thus, Mahito express just the opposite with his interview with Dr. Garzon. In the interview Garzon (2010b), Mahito shares that family is not valued, family doesn’t communicate much and the father and son relationship is distant (Garzon, 2010b).

I really enjoyed reading your post and the way it was presented. I love how detailed and eloquent your answers are. I definitely agree with your perspective that technology is the main reason that this generation is very spoiled. Louis C.K. had a point when he stated that this generation is spoiled. Technology has made this generation less patient as well more dependable. This generation has become so lazy to do anything on their own. I really agree that technology has ruined our lives because people back in the old days didn't have the technology we have today, but when something needs to be done, then they get the job done mostly with muscle. Kids used to play outdoors and were physically active, but now they are just stuck

My real name is Hyunseok Song, and it usually go by Daniel Hyunseok Song. I am from Seoul, South Korea, and moved to Houston, Texas when I was very little. I lived in Houston until I was 13, and moved to Seattle due to my family moving for my sister’s college. I lived in Seattle and attended Mercer Island High School until I graduated. I decided to relocate to Irvine to attend University of California Irvine at first, but changed my mind last second due to very expensive tuition to attend the school with out-of-state tuition. I had to decide between Orange Coast College and Saddleback College to save money, and chose Saddleback College.

Drawing from a variety of styles, from classical narrative storytelling to neorealism, the film pulls spectator engagement through a stylized use of sound, color, and traditional imagery grounded in modernist self-reflexivity. Sankofa, like many of the experimental Black films of the 1990s, makes use of a blend of African and African American musical and narrative traditions, including oration, montage, and various strains of expressionist and surrealist avant-garde cinema, aimed at expressing imaginative dreams and visions free from conscious rational control. As a way of invoking a greater spectator engagement, the film also

Visiting guest speaker Patricia de Santana Pinho has written several articles, a book, and is in the process of releasing her second book. Her extensive knowledge on Afro tourism in Brazil shows the world a great deal bout the African culture in Bahia, as well as information about the African American “roots” tourist who visit Brazil. When these two African decedent cultures unite they learn a great deal from each other, all while Patricia observes and records the interaction and the positive impact it has on the community and economy of Brazil. In her talk she makes three main points that are significant to the development of brazil, there are: the history of Bahianess, Afro-Brazilians as “happy natives”, and the lack of modernity for the Bahian Afro-Brazilians.

This is an artwork shown in MoMA on Floor 4, in the Collection Galleries, 1961, with other paintings and sculptures, measured by 6' 8 1/4" x 7' 5" x 34 3/4", such as Sir William Lyons, Malcolm Sayer and William M. Heynes’ E-Type Roadster which is an old fashion sports car. Lee Bontecou’s work is on the right side of the gallery and placed on the eye level of normal height people. The museum label is on the right side of the sculpture. The work is in a relatively good condition. Generally speaking, the shape of sculpture looks like a flower blooming in profusion. It is an abstract sculpture because it does not have a regular form and it is also hard to tell that is a sculpture or painting. It looks like a sculpture stick on a painting and also looks like the artist paints on the sculpture.

Using crime-filled Shibuya of the 90's as his setting, Toshiaki Toyoda presents a true guerilla film, which frequently functions as a music video.

Club Silencio – Mulholland Dr: David Lynch is by far one of my favorite directors, and the visual moment that encompasses my love for his work is the scene at the Silencio nightclub. This scene is one of the most revealing scenes in Mulholland Drive because of the stylistic choices made to portray the club.

I definitely agree with your first and third answer, but not totally with the second one. It is true what you wrote, but, personally, I believe also that sometimes there is a bit of hypocrisy in this. Often employers require a critical thinking, but sometimes they complain that a worker must not be too free to think themselves, but follow the procedure of the business, right or wrong they are.

Sister Sister is an “American Southern Gothic thriller” film that was produced in 1987 by Walter Coblenz. Bill Condon was the director and co-writer. Condon’s fellow writers of this film were Joel Cohen and Ginny Cerrella.

Their parents died, so the sisters decided to turn their family owned mansion into a guest home. Charlotte, who’s in her 30’s is in love with the local town sheriff, Mr. Cleve Doucet, but refuses his hand in marriage because she claims she has to take care of Lucy. Lucy is in her 20’s, struggles with a mental illness and has spent a few years of her life in an institution, and claims to see ghosts of the people who’ve died in the bayou near their mansion. Charlotte reminds Lucy daily to take her pills so she’s able to cope with this situation. Nearby, their mansion along the bayou is a shack, where a man named Etienne lives, he’s sort of the sister’s “maintenance man”, he helps fix things around the mansion for the sisters and has intimate feelings towards Lucy but Lucy doesn’t reciprocate those feelings. One evening, a mysterious man named Matt Rutledge arrives at the mansion with a reservation to stay awhile. The next morning Mrs. Beetlehelm, her
