Steven Spielberg

Hollywood has the reputation of films encompassing more exaggerated drama than realism; however, the movie Schindler’s List (directed by Steven Spielberg) is exemplified by a mostly accurate portrayal of historical events.

Inspired by Roald Dahl and Vincent Price, director Tim Burton is easily one of the most remarkable and creative directors of his generation. Burton has a unique and individual way of challenging the minds of viewers and attracting individuals to his films, and has been using this technique for over 30 years.

At a very young age of eight, David Fincher’s passion for cinema grew when he was inspired by the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969).

Years went by as he directed propaganda films followed by becoming a well-known music director until his first movie feature debut Aliens 3 in 1992. However, the American director David Fincher didn’t become a modern 21st century visionary until his creation of the film Se7en (1995). The huge success from this film started Fincher’s popularity in the film industry.

Specifically, he uses close up shots on Frank and Carl’s face during their conversation about whether Carl is telling the truth and then swears on his daughter's life. During these close ups, there is a good use of camera movement by zooming even further into their faces. The use of this technique gives a strong effect on the audience by showing the seriousness and emotion in the characters faces. It also shows the tension and suspense in the room. This shows

Just like what Suzie Cameron said,‘’If you don’t do something in life, nothing happens.’’ Especially if there’s a challenge that needs to be faced.

An example of this is James Cameron, the director of Avatar and Titanic, (and his crew) designed, built, and made a dive into the deepest parts of the ocean. It took them months to build the submarine, called the Deep Sea Challenger. After finishing the sub and were preparing for a test dive, when two members of their team died of a plane crash.

The good thing about films is that we not only have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of different genres, but also compare them and understand their purpose in the world. The Horror genre has used the basic principles throughout time, and as a result, films of this type have not proven to be as timeless as another genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy. At first, these two genres might at times seem similar as they have at several occasions been blended together, but their basic, common theme serves different meanings about humans. I shall compare and contrast these two genres and focus on both classic films and modern films. From the Horror genre perspective I shall discuss Psycho (1960) and The Mist (2007), while in the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre I will examine 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), and Serenity (2005). Although the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre and the Horror Genre share some similarities, the differences lie in their focus on human progress.

Tokyo Disneyland was opened to the public on April 15, 1983. This amusement park was owned and operated by an unrelated Japanese corporation. The Walt Disney Company received royalties, paid in Yen, on certain revenues generated by Tokyo Disneyland.

The management team at the Disney has been considering hedging future Yen inflows from Disney Tokyo since 1985.
