The Movie ' Her '

Unlike Marcela who secluded herself in an effort to escape to her desired reality, Dorotea is tied to her family. Dorotea comes from a family of wealthy farmers who had her as their only heir. Her family protected her from the outside dangers of men by dressing her modestly and only allowing her to go outside at odd hours of the day, but even with these precautions, Don Fernando still managed to become “smitten with love” at the sight of her (Cervantes 231). Dorotea is described by Edith Cameron as “beautiful…

technology - astoundingly positive and bright compared to most peoples’ negative or dystopian outlook when it comes to the dangers of a society increasingly reliant on machines and technology. I recently had the privilege of watching Spike Jonze’s 2013 movie her. While focusing on the personal aspect of a man falling in love with an artificial intelligence in a near-future Los Angeles, I couldn’t help but be surprised and delighted when Ray Kurzweil’s theories and mindset came shining through the backdrop…

The Movie Crash takes place in Los Angeles, California in the winter time. Throughout this movie, all of the stories connect in one way or another. This movie shows the lives of a diverse population of people, they have different race and social classes. In one of the first parts of the movie, they show a racist pawn shop owner that refuses to sell a gun to a man, simply because he is speaking to his daughter in another language, he generalizes all people of that race and accuses the man of “killing…

Pike said, “When the eyes are on you for the first time, you can 't believe that people aren 't criticizing you,” and after her fantastic acting performance as Amy Dunne in Gone Girl no one should criticize her. Gone Girl is full of brilliant acting by many of the characters, but the actress that stood out the most to me was Rosamund Pike as Amy Dunne. The theme of the movie is that everyone has to conform to some stereotype deemed “okay” by society in order to be liked. We all have to put on a…

They want the audience to think as they watch the movie, instead of sitting there blank. So what is an auteur? An auteur, defined from our book, is a “a director or other creative intelligence with a recognizable and distinctive style who is considered the prime ‘author’ of a film” (Film Analysis 1063)…

Film Analysis #3 The movie is an excellent portrayal of the current situation of our lifestyle in this generation. To be frank, it is a deep movie that has humor to help captivate and keep the attention of the audience drawn in. The movie starts of in the beginning with a man named Theodore and is life is currently empty of void of purpose and love. His life is mundane and he does not know what to do. There is flashbacks of what we can quickly determine what seemed like his former wife but they…

(computer-generated imagery) effects and poor lighting. The solid cast and a promising new director unsuccessfully captured the overall message of the script. In a movie where “love” serves as the main motive behind the main characters’ actions, one can’t help but notice the movie itself felt cold and emotionless. The plot twist at the end of the movie not only clashed with the main character’s actions, but it also failed to muster up a significant emotional connection to the audience. Transcendence…

didn't touch my beloved bike. I miss it so much. I lit up the cigarette as she rolled the window down and look at me with her bitchy smile. "Morning honey...Care for a ride?" I arose and walked slowly toward her. "I need my bike, Miss Rina," I stated softly and politely. She turned her head and look straight, not to my face. I saw there was still a grin at the end of the corner of her lips...A smile that tells me..."You wish." "Oh, C’mon. Miss. I need my bike. I am begging you now." "Well, keep on…

As soon as the movie starts, the camera is focused on the infant crying with all the mise-en- scene around him/her. Which the mise-en-scene here is all the trash bags and all the children returning home from school. In other words, the baby is left alone which rises a concern in the audience in why is infant left alone on the floor next to all these trash bags. Later, the camera starts zooming out from the infant and that establishes the theme of the movie. The theme that people would agree on for…
