Strong Emotions In The Movie : Flicka

I admired the character Princess Jasmine in the film “Secondhand Lions” by Tim McCanlies because she was a minor character but she stood out in the film. This movie was about a fourteen year old boy whose mother sent him off to his Great Uncle's farm on a mission to find their millions that rumor said they had stashed away. His summer stay features stories of his Uncle's past and of their adventures a long time ago with princesses, wars and evil sheiks. Film techniques helped manifest Jasmine’s importance in the movie through narration, music and costume. This essay in my opinion, concludes Jasmine was a minor character that was seen rarely, but her presence was overall substantial.

She’s beautiful when She’s Angry tells the story of the women's movement from 1966-1973. This documentary tells a story through the use of footage, photographs and interviews from the women who helped shape second wave feminism. There were a few key players during that time, such as Kate Millett, Susan Brownmiller, Frances Beal, and Betty Friedan. Throughout She’s Beautiful when She’s Angry these women discuss issues that were problematic during this time period, most of which still are today. A few examples are child care, rape, birth control, and the right to not get married and start a family. This historical overview of this time period reminds us that feminists continue to fight for many of the same rights, fifty years later.

In the novel, A complicated kindness, the protagonist Naomi contemplates on escaping from her fundamentalist hometown. Her melancholic bond with the hometown as for its kindness, even though she’s “homesick at home”, and her problem with progressing towards an actual end, tragically leave her out in the community where she gets deserted. In this regard this story is a tragedy. While the narration breaks the conventional line of storytelling about runaway, it unfolds in irony as to balance or to counter the dark events. In this way this story is a comedy. For these reasons a film adaptation of the novel will fall into comedy-drama genre. On the poster of this movie the hand drawn picture represents one of the ironies that comes in the narration,

Someone’s destiny may be known from the moment he or she is born; however, how that person will reach his or her’s destiny is unknown. The way someone can achieve their dream can be vastly different or very similar to another. Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya follows Antonio Marez’s coming of age. He experiences loss of innocence, curiosity, and is torn about what his destiny is: be a Luna, a person of the earth, or a Marez, a person of the llano who is free. Whale Rider by Witi Ihimaera is a film that tells the story of Paikea Apirana, a girl who is interested in becoming leader of her clan, but is rejected by her grandfather due to her being a girl. Paikea manages to prove herself to be the true leader through to her risks and hardships.

Flicka is a heart wrenching movie about the love of family, nature, and horses. This movie shows you the summer of a ranchers daughter. Katy McLauglin (Alison Lohman) is the teenage daughter of a horse rancher who is looking to hand over the reins of the family business. While her family is on the ranch, Katy is studing at a private school feeling like her own kind of misfit. One day, while out riding, Katy finds a beautiful black mustang and instantly feels an emotional connection with the wild horse. Katy begs her father, Rob McLaughlin (Tim McGraw), to let her keep the animal but he is convinced that the mustang would be bad for both his thoroughbred horses and his daughter. But Katy is certain she can break the

Within this passage, Capote emphasizes the lack of emotion Dick feels. Perry, on the other hand, became distraught after the murders. Perry became unable to cope, no meal or amount of time would be able to wipe the memory and the sickly feeling away from his heart and mind. Perry truly felt wrong, sorry almost. Capote writes ‘he subsisted on root beer, aspirin, and cigarettes’, the thought of someone truly being unable to eat due to their own shame and self-disgust inflicts a dark and remorseful feeling. The image of someone looking at food in horror and lost within their own sorrowful thoughts is sickening and melancholy. However, Dick became ravenous. He was unable to control his hunger, constantly eating, filling his time with gorging. The

Mustang is an internationally produced Turkish-French film of the drama genre that was initially released at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. The film follows five orphaned girls residing with their Grandmother and Uncle Erol in contemporary conservative Turkey; when they are spotted socialising with a group of males on a beach, they are trained in activities such as cooking that are seen as being the role of women in Turkey. The film uses the key elements of film form in order to achieve this and reflect other cultural and historical contexts.

Both films, ‘Mustang’ and ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ represent youth on a journey of self-discovery with various challenges along the way. In ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’, two young teenage boys go on a road trip with a young woman who is in her late twenties and discover their sexual maturity. The young woman Luisa is a distant cousin by marriage of one of the young men, and she immediately peaks their interest and deep desires. The title of this movie translated in English is, ‘And Your Mama Too’. Analyzing the title alone, it’s safe to say that there is some relation to the young lady acting as somewhat of a mother figure, teaching and guiding the young boys’ various things. ‘Mustang’ is an incredible and powerful film. It tells a tale of five young girls living in a small Turkish town with overbearing guardians who are trying to conform them to the ways of their culture. The young girls to do all they can to rebel against conformity. Throughout their journey, they find love, hate, friends, family, enemies, and loss.

In the contemporary teen film “Red Riding Hood (2011)” the director, Catherine Hardwicke explores the female adolescents voyage of personal freedom, love, power and Heroism. Red Riding Hood constructs a cinematic landscape to celebrate the liberating journey of heroine, Valerie. Adolescents today, similar to Valerie have a yearning for independence. They desire the freedom to do as they please and make their own choices.

While the film is not realistic in the slightest, it foments an astringent malaise within the mind of the spectator. From the surface, the film is not horrific; we need not avert our eyes away from the screen, instead we are magnetically pulled in, intrigued by Irena’s catlike idiosyncrasies and innocent disposition played to perfection by the beautiful Simone Simon. We sympathize with Irena who steals the screen and moreover, steals our gaze as a spectator, making it one with her own; this gaze then becomes threatening to the film’s other characters as they begin to denounce her towards the end of the film. Irena’s inner monster becomes fearsome to the spectator because it resides within the human unconscious, where feelings of sexual desire and violence run rampant. When Irena returns to the zoo towards the end of the film to steal the key to the panthers cage, she is in essence, accepting her unconscious desires, feminine sexuality and animalistic instincts.

The best scene in this film was when Jerry was tapping his little heart out alone in his hotel room. Effecting Dale’s nap. I like this scene because I dislike dale, she was extremely rude. It was good he disturbed her. All he wanted to do was tap and when she came down he apologized and sweet to her, but she was still rude and has no compassion when all he was trying to do is enjoy himself. She should of been a harder

Miyazaki’s second feature film, Nausicäa of the Valley of the Wind (1984), was the first film of his to feature a female protagonist. Nausicäa is a princess of the last functional kingdom in a post-apocalyptic world. Despite her role and duties, she cannot ignore her desire to find a solution to curing the Toxic Jungle that grows outside of her kingdom in order to better the world. Nausicäa continuously takes charge and thinks on her feet, has an adventurous spirit, and manages to find solution after solution to the conflicts in the narrative. Everything she faces she does with courage and selflessness, even when she herself feels fear. While Miyazaki portrayed feminism in Nausicaä primarily through the so-called character’s compassion as well

The Mustang (2015) is a Turkish-French film directed by Deniz Gamze Erguven. The movie focuses on how the lives of five orphaned sisters change when they come of age and their struggle for freedom against their conservative family and culture.

I have come up with the idea to create a movie based on the core structure and themes of the play Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward. This movie will be a major romance and more shifted toward gaining the public’s acclaim rather than achieving critical success. The audience we will be targeting are young teenage girls and women. Romantic movies have always been primarily liked by females. It gives them an excuse to get together with their friends and to dream about getting swept of their feet by their dream guy. Women are known to be very emotional and this romantic movie will have them laughing at some scenes and crying at others. They will fall in love with Cameron’s (protagonist) beautiful personality and show compassion

Furious 7 (dir. James Wan, 2015) is the seventh movie in the Fast and the Furious franchise. This film centers on a close knit team of individuals who are being contracted by the government to obtain a hacker and her creation "God's eye" from a terrorist organization that kidnapped her. It is a mutually beneficial plan to rescue that technology because it will help the team capture Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) who is out for revenge against them. Posthumous performances of Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) were created throughout the film to complete the movie because Walker died before production was complete. The motifs in Furious 7 of leaving without saying goodbye and "seeing you again," work to create an emotional impact for the spectator which causes them to accept the believability of the posthumous performance and keep it from delving into the uncanny valley. In VFX-driven films the emotional impact of the VFX is sometimes more important for believability than a perfectly realistic digital effect.
