Knoebels is an antique amusement park enraptured with addictive food, energized cheers and music, and crisp smoky scents. My family has enjoyed these components of entertainment for generations. Foods from sweet funnel cakes to creamy milkshakes have filled my ancestors stomachs to the point of exhaustion. The sounds of authentic wooden coasters, classic organ chimes, and young ride operators fill the air of this aged theme park. At night, chirping crickets, campfire ashes, and family laughter flood the brisk winds. These sounds and scents create a beautiful compilation of nostalgia and comfort.

Although the best reasons for “going to the movies” are to be entertained and eat popcorn, understanding a film is actually quite complex. Movies are not only a reflection of life, they also have the capability of shaping our norms, values, attitudes, and perception of life. Through the media of film, one can find stories of practically anything imaginable and some things unimaginable. Movie-makers use their art to entertain, to promote political agendas, to educate, and to present life as it is, was, or could be. They can present truth, truth as they interpret it, or simply ignore truth altogether. A movie can be a work of fiction, non-fiction, or anything in-between. A film is an artist’s interpretation. What one takes away from a film depends upon how one interprets what has been seen and heard. Understanding film is indeed difficult.

Dr. Ralph Edmond Stanley, a well known American Bluegrass artist, was born February 25, 1927, in Big Spraddle Creek, Virginia. He just recently passed away last year on June 23, 2016. During those 89 years of life, Mr. Stanley sure made a name for himself to be remembered for many years after he was gone. There were two things that made him stand out from many of the bluegrass artists. Those things were his original voice and his unique way of picking the banjo. Mr. Stanleys mother bought him his first banjo for five dollars when he was around 15 or 16. His mother taught him to play clawhammer style on the banjo and later in life he developed his own style from this strumming style. After graduation from high school in May of 1945, he went into the Army for about a year. The day he came home from the war, Carter, his Brother, and his father picked him up and later that night he made an appearance on the radio singing

Twenty years ago, federal agents clashed with David Koresh's Branch Davidian community near Waco, Texas. The standoff ended with a raid and fire that killed some 80 people. It's remembered as one of the darkest chapters in American law enforcement history.

Aside from being a source of entertainment and pleasure, films have also taken on a new role, that is, to make visible and critique the different ideologies that are present in society. The word ideology is defined as “a relatively coherent system of values, beliefs, or ideas shared by some social group and often taken for granted as natural or inherently true.” (Bordwell and Thompson, p.503). Ideologies help us to better understand films and their influence on society. They also reveal much about the society from which they originated. In this essay, I will explore the different ideological messages conveyed in films with reference to All That Heaven Allows (Douglas Sirk, 1955).

Thomas Steven Korn was born on Wednesday October 2nd, 1985 in Los Angeles, California where he was born and raised. Being born in October makes him a Libra (zodiac sign). Thomas has been deaf since birth but it wasn’t very hard growing up because he grew up in a deaf household (majority of his family was deaf). Growing up Thomas learned all sort of signs and has been signing ever since.

In my eyes, doctors are angels in the world, because doctor’s duty is to saving people’s life. So I want to introduce Norman Bethune, a distinguished doctor who contributed a lot to the world. “Internationally, in the opinion of some, he is the most famous Canadian” (Hannant, 1998). Norman Bethune was born in Canada in 1890. He was a talented doctor who graduated from University of Toronto. Bethune also attended many wars and saved many wounded soldiers. On the ruthless battlefield, doctor is another kind of hero with the duty to saving life. Norman Bethune, an influential Canadian physician, medical innovator, contributed to both Canadians and non-Canadians by creating surgical tools, encouraging health care and services in Canada and helping

“Kubrick’s work reveals deeper evidence of the personal involvement which distinguishes the true auteur. His develpment has been remarkably consistent through an apparently heterogeneous range of projects, and each film’s meaning becomes more confidently definable when one places it in relation to its fellows (page 561 paragraph 2).”

Did you know that over six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum)? Knud Peterson was one of many that lived in the Holocaust time period. Although he was a young boy, nothing stopped him from making a difference.

Kenneth B. Clark was born on July 14th in 1914. He was born in the Canal Zone located in Panama. Kenneth Clark was the son of Arthur Clark, who was himself a Jamaican and Miriam Hanson Clark. He also had a younger sister named Beulah Clark. Arthur Clark took his family to Panama to obtain employment with the United Fruit company. However, Clark´s mother, Miriam Hanson desired more for her young family. Therefore, at a very young age (4 years old) Kenneth and his sister were brought to New York´s city by their mother. She had high educational ambitions for her children and felt there would be better opportunities in the US. Despite the difficulties and poverty that were present, Clark´s mother, being a strong, passionate and fearless woman dedicated herself for their future. She passed those attributes to his son. Miriam used to work as a seamstress in a sweatshop to obtain the money to pay rent in the apartments they lived in Harlem. (Jones & Pettigrew, 2005).

David Koresh said that he was Jesus Christ and some believed he was too. There are many reasons to dispute the fact that David Koresh was not Jesus Christ amongst them is he wore glasses. Why would Jesus Christ need glasses? He slept with different women including teenagers and was suspected of fathering over 13 children with sect followers on his compound! He often slept with multiple young girls at a time and talked about how they pleased him sexually. Many of the people were not held in the compound against their will, they wanted to be with Koresh and to hear him preach

As one of the most widely acclaimed and influential directors of the postwar era, Stanley Kubrick enjoyed a reputation and a standing unique among the filmmakers of his day. He had a brilliant career with relatively few films. An outsider, he worked beyond the confines of Hollywood, which he disliked, maintaining complete control of his projects and making movies according to his own ideas and time constraints. To him, filmmaking was a form of art and unlike Hollywood, not a business.

The romantic idea of the auteur is described by film theoretician, André Bazin, observing the film form as an idealistic phenomenon. Through the personal factor in artistic creation as a standard reference, Bazin primarily refers to an essential literary and romantic conception of the artist as central. He considers the relationship between film aesthetics and reality more important than the director itself and places cinema above paintings. He described paintings as a similar ethical creation to film stating a director ‘can be valued according to its measurements and the celebrity of the signature, the objective quality of the work itself was formerly held in much higher esteem.’ (Bazin, 1967: 250). Bazin contemplates the historical and social aspects that indeed hinder a director’s retribution to their own personalised film, thus en-companying their own ideological judgement upon the world ‘more so in cinema where the sociological and historical cross-currents are countless.’ (Bazin, 1967: 256)
