The Creation Of The Movie Trumbo The Film

The AFI movie I chose for a week 3 assignment is Scarface, this 1983 cinematic masterpiece, starring Al Pacino, shows the journey of a simple immigrant from Cuba trying to make his way to America, trying to find the American dream, after the character Tony Montana play by Al Pacino tries to enter into United States illegally, he was caught and placed into a immigration detention center, this is where Tony Montana gets his big break by taking on a contract hit for a Colombian drug cartel that can help him with his immigration status. The theme of this movie Scarface is a fast rise and fall of a poor immigrant from Cuba, with goals and aspirations to become a drug kingpin. Each scene becomes progressively understanding and clear that Tony Montana goal is to become a boss, by setting into motion plans to make his way into South Florida by any means necessary, Montana at this time has taken on hit man jobs and started paddling narcotics for himself and his crew, I feel as though the first scenes Tony Montana's cocky attitude broken English and demeanor and disposition towards the police, introduced us to who Tony Montana was, at one point in this film Tony Montana talks about Humphrey Bogart and a few other actors that portrayed gangsters and gangster life style, he seemed to be admiring the gangster life style, in this scene you can almost see the admiration within his eyes as he was telling the a story about them. This scene was brought to light by the cinematographer who created a dim but dynamic lighting setting, the focal point was directly on Al Pacino as he was telling his story, the effective framing and captivating way that Al Pacino portrays his character. There was another scene in Scarface

How many times has Hollywood taken a true story and turned it into something different? Hollywood took Chris McCandless’s story and turned it into an overdramatic work of art. Unlike Krakauer’s nonfiction best seller Into the Wild, the movie Into the Wild by Sean Penn overemphasizes ideas or fails to include crucial evidence which twists the viewers understanding of Chris McCandless’s life. The movie overemphasizes Chris’s parents’ relationship and the effect it has on him, creates a love interest for him in “Slab City”, and fails to mention Chris’s knowledge of the wild. Sean Penn’s film skews how people will remember Chris

Kevin Smith has make the grueling trek from an unknown, extremely low-budget filmmaker to a well known and respected filmmaker thanks to the

I’ve recently watched a film in my English class you starred in called Trumbo. For this type of historical film, even as a teenager, it was truly enjoyable. At first, I didn’t think that it would appeal to me as much as it did. You’re a remarkable actor and I have always admired your work! The political aspect of the film definitely drew me in and made it more pleasant to watch. Not knowing anything about McCarthyism at the time made the film a bit confusing at first, but I gradually began to fully understand it. I liked the film because it shows the character’s tone as well as essence throughout the film.

The debate over Casablanca and Citizen Kane has been a classic argument between film critics and historians alike because both of these pieces contain great cinematographic value, and are timeless pictures that have managed to captivate audiences well beyond their era. However, the real question at hand is which film is the greatest? Which film transformed the future of American film making? It is these questions that I as many others have, will attempt to answer in the following essay as I explain why I believe Citizen Kane has achieved the status of greatest film ever made.

At the time of its release many critics had written this film off considering as an average film with an average story. Chicago Sun-Times labeled it as an attempt to divert away from the traditional cinema, with a new concept silent film and it failed to make an impression on the audience because of lack of creativity in the story. The film had no surprise element in it for the audience.

When deciding what movie to do for this particular paper I faced a few issues. I knew what the requirements were, but I wanted something different and something I could have fun watching and writing as well. So, after looking around and pondering movies for weeks I finally decided on a perfect choice The 60's directed by Mark Piznarski?

the first of its kind to be made with a small budget, unknown cast, and limited resources. This proves that this film is unique by showing how differently the director and actors

For a film that took nearly eight years to complete, I expected better. Gallowwalkers issue for me is that it commits the greatest of movie crimes, it's boring and it really has to no reason to be. Gallowwalkers is a scant ninety minutes long and with the premise of a gun man having to re-kill his victims it could have been a lot better. But in addition to the flaw of being boring, Gallowwalkers has a whole litany of other issues and has plot holes big enough you could pitch a tent in them.

I’ve gotta say, even though it may have shown what a true mafia is, it wasn’t very good for America. All of these bootleggers were against prohibition. The people of America had come up with a system in which they could get their liquors and alcohol. This was crime at its fullest and best age. You had so many hand-offs so the police couldn’t catch the men smuggling, and underground bars that were a constant risk to go to. Many of the men working as the bootleggers had their cars modified so that they could out run the cops in a car chase. (This then led to the creation of racing cars and NASCAR was born. Thank you Prohibition) And all of the organized crime is just pure beauty and genius. To have Al Capone’s power, it must have been nice. His control over Chicago was massive. If someone got in his way, he would give the order and that person would cease to

The ideas of what a utopian society should look like changes when talking to different people in different parts of the world. More often than not most people would say that violence is not a part of this utopian ideal and that man has found a way to work past that and find a better solution to the violent issues we have seen in the past. Films in a sense are a way for artists to explore these utopian and dystopia ideals and present them to the public as a looking glass into what the world could look like. For many of us we live in a capitalistic society or a society with at least some forms of capitalistic ruling. Film makers in Latin America have used their position to critique and analyze the different forms of capitalism and how the

The Departed, a film written by William Monahan, Alan Mak, and Felix Chong, directed by Martin Scorsese, was in my opinion a spectacular crime-thriller deserving of less criticism from overly sentimental viewers. Though this film is in some scenes brutal and vicious, I praise Martin Scorsese’s refusal to cower away from the undeniable truth that organized crime in the United States is murderous in nature just to satisfy certain viewers as critics advocated he should. Being a four time Oscar winning film with sixty-three other awards for numerous aspects in the movie industry, I don’t believe anyone can contradict that The Departed is profoundly unforgettable to masses of moviegoers.

According to the October 1999 issue of “Entertainment Weekly”, THE GODFATHER is one of the greatest movies of the decade. Rarely can it be said that a film has defined a decade,

Since the establishment of Walt Disney Company in 1923, it has created many classic animated characters, such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Lion King, Bambi, and so on. The success of Disney animated movie is not only due to its wonderful storyline and the vivid characterization of the animated characters, but also because of the music produced in the film. Disney’s music, whether its theme music, its background music, or song music, are clever and perfect blend of the plot, prompting many Disney animated movies become classics. This paper will focus on one of the Disney’s animated movie, The Three Caballeros, and analysis the connections between its content and its music.

The film I picked for my critique is Red Tails, a historical World War II drama. The movie starred Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard and Gerald Mcraney, was written by John Ridley and Aaron McGruder, better known as the creator of the comic strip “the boondocks”, from a book by John B. Holway, directed by Anthony Hemingway and produced by George Lucas . In this paper the author will show how all elements of filmmaking
