These two friends became affiliated with a neighborhoods drug dealer, and were startled and clueless as to how they were going to come up with the money they owed him by the end of the night!

In the reading, Violence in Movies: Cinematic Craft or Hollywood Gone Too Far?, the response that states "Point: Hollywood, Stop Exposing Our Kids to Violence" is more persuasive than "Counterpoint: Hollywood Filmmakers Should Not be Villainized for Movie Violence" because it provides better-supported facts that are reliable and credible. The "Point" response explains how violence in movies has become very excessive and is allowing children to act out and think it is okay because of what they see on TV. While, the "Counterpoint" response explains how Hollywood filmmakers should not be punished for their creative writing and that parents should monitor their kids and decide whether or not they should be watching it.

Each video was watched twice, to ensure that no characteristics were missed. Videos were analyzed through the use of sexual characteristics and non-sexual characteristics tally sheets. When a specific characteristic was present it would only be marked down once per video. Because the focus of this research was on sexualization of women, only females were identified and coded.

The magazine article describes the stark contrast in the portrayal of female sexuality between pre-Code and post-Code movies. Pre-Code movies are flagrantly sexual; although some contemporary film critics believe that women were simply embracing their sexual freedom through these pre-code films, the marketing for many of these brazenly sexual films often included derisive comments from males, suggesting that the intent of overt sexuality in films was more crude. Post-code films often used screenwriting strategies to stay within bounds of the Code. Denby argues that this censorship actually created a net benefit for women, who were given stronger personalities and more interesting plot lines instead of simply being sexual objects. The article suggests that censorship led to the inception of the screwball comedy genre, which was forced to “create sex without sex.”

The movie that I chose is called Kids and came out back in 1995 centering in on one day in a group of sexually active teenagers that live in New York City. This move exposes sex and substance abuse during the height of the AIDS epidemic in the mid-1990s. The main character Telly starts off with a young girl making out in bed with no adults around, persuading this young girl, who is a virgin to have sex with him. After Telly has persuaded the young girl to have sex he tells his friend Casper who has been waiting outside for him for over two hours all about his sexual experience, smelling Telly’s fingers to get the smell of the young girl he just had sex with and how expressing how he only wants to have sex with virgins. Telly’s main goal is

The Frontline film Separate and Unequal discussed about creating a new school system; however, there are opposition by others who wants to maintain the current school system. If we look at the perspectives of the two groups, it is understandable in why there is support and opposition from the people of the city. The supporters of the new system wants a system that can provide better opportunities for their children without any violence. As the film claimed “the school was not teaching and were only babysitting the children”, which was likely a reason why there was a need for a new school system. With the chaotic and uncontrollable situation in the current system, many supporters have push forward the idea of a new system in a new city. From

Today’s filmmakers have three areas to focus on: the event or theme of the film, the audience who will be watching the film, and lastly, the individual characters and the roles they play and how they are portrayed and interpreted. Many of these films bottom line objectives are to focus on the “erotic needs of the male ego.” The focus on fetishistic scopophilia tend to slant the view such that we see the world as being dominated by men and that woman are

Born into Brothels, shares the chaotic lifestyle of eight children and their mothers from the Brothels of Calcutta, in the perspective of the director, Zana Briski, and the deprived children. Using the basic techniques of photography, Briski teaches the children to document their lives through photos, which are then used as a baseline for the documentary. Born into Brothels revolves around Briski’s attempt to gain awareness and education for a small group of children whose lives are filled with tragedy. Being identified as a ‘white-privileged’ female from the United States of America, Briski carries a completely distinct perspective of the life in the ‘red light’ district, than the children themselves. She sympathizes with their situation

With reference to relevant cultural theories analyse the representation of sexuality in a film/television text of your choice.

Furthermore, sexual agency is portrayed very strongly in the film. Sexual agency is the concept used to express how women are now capable of demonstrating and expressing their own sexual desires just like men (Kimmel 421). Many scenes in the film display the concept of sexual agency, for example the way Clair’s mother and Gloria display their sexuality needs just like many other women in the film. Gloria, revealing herself desires to Jeremy in the restroom by seducing him order to attract him and meet her sexual desires. Also, how Clair’s mother who was married to her father displayed herself nude to John and tried to seduce him into sleeping with her exposes the sexual agency she felt for John despite of being married. She displayed her needs

Lars von Trier has made many shocking films that most people find inappropriate and vulgar. The films Nymphomaniac Volumes I and II by Lars Von Trier are controversial in nature, but behind their harsh surface imagery lies a deep and powerful message that beautifully depicts the insatiable desires and discontent of the human experience.

This had to be by far the most unique and distinct experience paper yet. The options were so relevant to the class and for the first time, in a long time, this was an exciting experience for me. All due to one topic: S-E-X. With that being said my topic of choice was a movie review. This was a bit common and challenging for me at the same time. Challenging because I didn’t know which category I haven't watched when it comes to porn and common for me because I watch porn very often. #NOJUDGEMENTZONE Why I chose this topic was pretty simple, there are a few subdivisions in the porn industry that I have yet to experience. I'm pretty sure, majority of society watches the usual: man on woman; woman on woman and man on man. Now how many of these people can say they have also watch intersex people having intercourse. Now to the average person, intersex persons are usually called trannys/transexuals/shemales in the adult film industry.

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).
