Summary Of The Movie Idiocracy

The film Denial (2016) begins with history professor Deborah Lipstad at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 1994. Lipstad gives the principal factors about Holocaust denial and tells how some people do not believe in the evidence of this horrible event. The film shows a conference that she gives, where she tells us more in detail about the factors and the students ask questions about this subject. Then, a man named David Irving appears who will question the evidence of the Holocaust because he does not believe it and thinks that it was a falsification of the Jews. However, there are more people like Irving who refuse to believe in the Holocaust. While others share the same opinions as Deborah, the performance of the dramatic genre

The movie “Wit” is a great educational tool for healthcare professionals in terms of dealing with terminally ill patients. It teaches that nurses and medical professionals should always remember that their patients are not a case nor illness nor experiment but rather human beings with souls and pains. Palliative care is one of the most disputed issues of worldwide importance. While bureaucrats in different countries are making laws on the use of palliative drugs, patients with excruciating pains learn how to “take deep breaths and be strong” (Nichols & Brokaw, 2001). That is what nurse Susie Monahan from “Wit” advises her dying patient Vivian Bearing suffering from unbearable pains due to stage IV ovarian cancer after eight painful rounds

Like many I was aware of the eugenics movement in the United States in the 1920’s. However, after reading the story of Carrie Buck and learning more about the nature of the procedurals involved in these sterilizations I have a new found understanding of the roles Power and Othering played in the unlawful tests conducted on Carrie buck and many members of her family. The way in which those elite of the 1920’s mimics the party and the thought police in George Orwell’s 1984, is incredibly interesting to ponder. There are even instances of power and othering having the exact effects among nations today as well. The similarities between these major themes that we have continuously

The juxtaposition of the society in Anthem with today’s society is surprisingly terrifying. The dystopian society in Anthem promotes the ideology of collectivism and the oppression of individualism with resemblance to how aspects of those ideas are portrayed in our society. Anthem primarily focuses on a controlled society, yet our society focuses on the competition of prosperity amongst the population. Using Ayn Rand’s satiristic writing elements, the events in Anthem depict a correlation to today’s society, confirming Rand’s warnings to the ignorant public.

The 1972 film The Candidate is a satirical piece focused on the campaign process in the U.S. The campaign which is analyzed is the race for California’s senator. The protagonist of the story is Bill McKay, a man who has a disdain for politics due to his father’s involvement as a state senator years before. However, when a campaign manager Marvin Lucas shows up on his door step asking him to run against the fifteen-year incumbent,Crocker Jarmon, Bill’s preconceived notions of becoming a politician are shaken. Lucas convinces McKay that if he campaigns, his platform will be centered on bringing awareness to issues that he cares about (should I insert specifics?) not necessarily winning. Mckay’s campaign would then function similarly to that of a third party; calling attention to difficult issues current politicians tended to avoid. Lucas was so confident in the idea that McKay will not win that he writes “You lose.” in a matchbox and gives it to McKay.

The film, said fifty-two years ago, the United States politics, but it and the current global situation, and the United States in full swing presidential election, but has a close relationship.

Imagine a nation where one did not have to worry about deductibles, high monthly insurance rates, and being denied health care. Is this possible? Can the United States (U.S.) have this or is such a nation fiction? Michael Moore, known documentary filmmaker, set out on a mission. This mission was featured in his documentary, Sicko. The mission consisted of multiple rhetorical strategies to disclose the positive and negative effects of socialized health care. The great thing about this topic is that it’s applicable to a wide audience. From teenagers just starting to get health insurance, to people midway through their life that may have been burned by the industry, to seniors that need to still work in their eighties to pay off their health care bills. Moore gives good insight to both sides of the argument, and allows the audience to examine all factors. Through many accounts of Moore’s credibility, emotional connections, and pure facts; the audience is strongly convinced that the U.S. should move to a socialized health care system.

“Inside Man” was released in 2006 and would later become the highest grossing film for the director Spike Lee.

Comedic films and theatrical productions generally focus on the average human. This excludes people with extraordinary amounts of influence or power such as kings, queens or superheroes. Grecian comedy dissects the social or personal aspects of an average human’s life and uncovers their foibles and frailties. A minor weakness will usually lead to the character falling into some form of temptation which stands as the climax of the plot. This minor weakness of the character helps develop the storyline. For example, the play, Lysistrata, centers around the Grecian army and their wives. Aristophanes presents sex as a weakness of men and women in Greece in the play. The temptation for the army wives is to relinquish the sex strike that they

Since its humble beginnings in the later years of the nineteenth century, film has undergone many changes. One thing that has never changed is the filmmaker’s interest in representing society in the present day. For better or worse, film has a habit of showing the world just what it values the most. In recent years, scholars have begun to pay attention to what kinds of ideas films are portraying (Stern, Steven E. and Handel, 284). Alarmingly, viewers, especially young women, are increasingly influenced by the lifestyle choices and attitudes that they learn from watching these films (Steele, 331). An example of this can be seen in a popular trope of the “romantic comedy” genre in this day and age: the powerful man doing something to help, or “save” the less powerful woman, representing a troubling “sexual double standard” (Smith, Stacy L, Pieper, Granados, Choueiti, 783).
