The setting of the film shows us the Holocaust and the mistreatment of the Jews. This makes
Women Have Curves stresses how important higher education is to a Mexican-American teenager and the wrath she endures from her mother because of her weight and aspiration.

Josefina Lopez writer of the play and co-screenwriter of the movie “Real Women Have Curves” created two important characters, Ana and Carmen, to demonstrate real life issues in the Mexican-American culture.

In “La Mascara Del Chivo” it shows how a drug dealer tries to murder another one in his dying bed with the priest
To change a well-known short story into a movie is a challenging move by many directors. Whether it’s Tell-Tale Heart (1941), Harrison Bergeron (1995), or Flowers for Algernon (2000), most readers agree that the story version is more preferable than the cinematic adaptation.

Charles’s second wife, Susan Alexander Kane, was played by Dorothy Comingore. Walter Thatcher, Kane’s guardian after his mother came into some
My favorite movie that I have chosen for this report is called Freedom Writers. This movie takes place in the year 1994 at a school in Long Beach, California where a school is racially divided. At this school, there is a dedicated woman with idealistic views called Mrs. Erin Gruwell that is starting her first teaching job as a freshman and sophomore English teacher.

There is one scene in the movie which could have been impossible to produce without computer imagery. The scene involves Scar who wants to kill his royal relatives by trapping them under the crowd of thousands running wildebeests. ‘Occasionally, there's an effect that the directors want in a film that would be virtually impossible to do with traditional animation techniques," explains CGI supervisor Scott Johnston. That's where computer animation can sometimes make a difference. A stampede of thousands
