The Killers Film Analysis

Among the common peculiarities of film noir, the distinct division between the male characters and the different representations of women reinforce notions of masculinity and gender roles. Furthermore, in the 1940’s film noir was Hollywood’s way to illustrate a world in where pessimism and suspicion dictated people’s lives. Mostly presented as detectives or a lone wolf, the men are portrayed as cold-hearted, disconnected, and cynical to show their hopelessness and disillusionment of the society they lived in. Along this depiction, multiple women are placed into different roles, to either play the seductress and/or a menace to the male protagonist. In the The Maltese Falcon film noir, the male protagonist is characterized as a typical male

The documentary I decided to analyze was “Forks Over Knives”, by Lee Fulkerson. This documentary is about food choices you make every day, and how it can affect your health long-term and short-term, whether it be disease or nausea. Nutritional scientist T. Colin Campbell and surgeon Dr. Caldwell B.Esselstyn combine their decades of research and studies in hopes of simplifying the complexities and the benefits of a plant-based diet; such as preventing and even reversing heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. This film was made to promote plant-based diets, argue that animal-based diets are bad for our health, and address the issues of diets and diseases that aren’t being given attention

The title of the film is called “Enemies”, it is the story about a waiter named Gittleman who is kind, well mannered, and nice. He works at a low star restaurant and has been serving a customer for the past 5 years. The customers names is Miller. Miller is a rude, sassy, cocky type guy. Who says acts like a gentlemen but doesn’t seem like it. Everyday he comes and dines at Gittleman’s restaurant. From my perspective miller enjoys acting like a big shot. He enjoys humiliating Gittleman because he see him as a weak old man. Further in the film, the two talk about personal things. Gittleman has a family of two daughters and a wife. Miller is a widower and has two sons who says are successful. He enjoys his life by doing whatever he wants to

The largely stereotyped femme fatale is often generalised as being a piece of the classic genre of film noir. But as much as the femme fatale is seen as representative of noir, and vice versa, when analyzing the characteristics of noir—the classic hard edged American film—the presence of a femme fatale interferes with the very idea of, as Angela Martin would say, “hardboiled” film noir. Films such as Mildred Pierce, Gilda, and Klute, though objectively different, hold a commonality in that they all present some aspects of film noir while not being seen as entirely so. Mildred Pierce presents flashback narration and shots dominated by shadows, Gilda uses the well-known role of the femme fatale, but deviates from classic noir by presenting aspects of the femme fatal in two decidedly different characters. And finally, Klute uses the trope of noir characters torn by psychological dilemmas and internal discourse along with many other comparably noir characteristics while still seeming to exist outside of the film noir genre.

The anxiety that infused film noir, born out of post-war fears about the place women had found outside of the family structure, challenged hesitant conceptions towards the role of women in family and oppressive social relationships. Film noir’s included gender politics were to alleviate male confusion over women’s roles and their sexual identity through a restoration of the patriarchy. The femme fatale represented an independent and powerful femininity, rejecting the conventional role of the devoted wife and loving mother that mainstream society had prescribed for women, but in the end her transgression of social norms led to her own destruction and the destruction of the men who were attracted to her.

Esteemed Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert once said that the original noir “genre” of film as being “the most American film genre, because no society could have created a world so filled with doom, fate, fear and betrayal, unless it were essentially naive and optimistic…”. Ebert’s statement is mostly an accurate one, as traditional noir boasts far-reaching roots into the rough, uneven landscape of 20th century American history. Specifically, film noir, or literally “black film” when translated from it’s original French to English, was coined by French film critics, namely Nino Frank, [in observance of the dark, downbeat and even macabre themes and aesthetics taken on by American crime and detective films released in the decade or

Your movie “Trumbo” was impeccable. Sharing Dalton’s struggles made me realize what he went through as a “politically incorrect” man. And the grit you must obtain to perceive your goals. Throughout the movie he persisted without using violence and stayed amicable towards all, and consequently won two Oscars.

In this essay I will discuss how the change in political and social contexts influenced a more favourable representation of women in neo-noir films and argue that although a change has occurred, there are still patriarchal, misogynist values instilled in the femme fatale. Film noir is often identified by its stylistic elements; low-key lighting, gritty, urban landscapes and murderous plots. Specifically, film noir refers to an era of film from the 1940s to late 1950s and is prominently considered a response to the war. Narratives of these films were all commonly driven by criminality, corruption and sexual desire.

On the surface, Dangerous Minds is a film about a teacher who helps her students to change their lives for the better. The start of the film begins with LouAnne Johnson accepting a full time teaching job at Carlmont High School. Ms. Johnson did not know that the kids she would be teaching were tough and rowdy kids that come from under-privileged backgrounds. As the film goes on, Ms. Johnson wins the hearts of her students by connecting with them and standing up for them against a resistant administration. By doing this she inspires her students to reach their full potential.
