The Omen Film Analysis

The awakening of the soul is not comparable to that of the body as one is a natural phenomenon and the other is a choice one must make each day. In the film Awakenings, directed by Penny Marshall, it is suggested through the use of Dr. Sayers fear of social interaction, his orderly life (shown by the mise-en-scene created by Penny Marshall), his first exposure to friendship, and his eventual spiritual awakening that the most profound awakening of the film is not the physical one of Leonard Lowe and the other patients of Bainbridge Hospital, but the spiritual awakening of Dr. Malcolm Sayer, who learns the importance of living life, rather than merely existing.

In many ways Unforgiven is not a typical western. Clint Eastwood’s character is different than the typical hero in Westerns because he shows fear and weakness after he gets brutally attacked. Munny shows his vulnerability throughout the film especially when he breaks social norms like turning down sex, remaining loyal to his wife, etc. Although some of his actions are questionable like leaving his kids alone for weeks. In this film unlike old westerns the gunslingers defend the honor of prostitutes and not the rightous women in peril. Rugged cowboys are exposed as cowards and weaklings and liars, while others find they no longer have the desire to take another man’s life. The law is represented by a man with a penchant for torture and sadism

In my list of movies that always make me cry is the movie “Ghost” which was released on July 13, 1990. This movie made that summer really worth while and gave us romance, comedy and much to think about. The movie starred Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg.

The director of “The Knowing” is trying to show/explain the cycle of the human existence by demonstrating how one world ends and another is created in the likeness of the old one. One obvious way he shows us is by natural disasters that occur, as we can see in the film the ocean levels rises causing floods to form and sweep across New York City. The second demonstration is how the TV starts to become more static as signals start to fail as they are demolished by meteors. A symbol that stands out as symbolic is anarchy as it shows society starts becoming more corrupted for the struggle of survival by fighting against each other and turning against the government. Two biblical allusions that are shown in “The Knowing” are one the boy and girl

The film Embrace the Serpent by Ciro Guerra showed the conflict of how change affects outsiders and the indigenous people of that land. The Shaman (Nilbio Torres, Antonio Bolivar) in the movie, Karamakate, found that change is a hard thing to comprehend. The film was captivating and the visuals were amazing. I have seen other movies on the Amazon and also documentary films on the environment. This one, however, was the best by far that I have seen.

“Some Girls”, “2001: A Space Odyssey”, and “Ghost World” meet the three categories for adaptations: literal, inspired, and paraphrased. The adaptation process can be open-ended as our examples depict, and not necessarily restricted by the form of the original story, confirming what is said so much: “everything is a remix”.

The intriguing supernatural thriller, Sixth Sense, combines a mixture of honesty and deception to create a film which is renowned as having one of the most unpredictable and satisfying endings, at least in recent cinema. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, the film reveals the tortured existence of Cole, a very unique little boy, cursed with a unique but sinister gift, a sixth sense - the ability to see the dead. Haunted by these apparitions since birth and unable to share his troubles for fear of suspicion of his insanity, Cole struggles under the burden of his gift, leaving him disturbed and isolated from those around him until the more obvious signs of his mental turmoil begin to appear in his behaviour. However, shortly after a violent

The Sixth Sense is a PG-13 horror film released on August 6, 1999 by director M. Night Shyamalan. It talks about a boy name Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) who is able to see and talk to people from the dead and child psychiatrist Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) tries to help him. Throughout the movie there were abundance of scenes that made the movie memorable for the audience. One scene I found this intriguing was the funeral scene. There were numerous techniques that were used during the scene which ties everything for the audience to understand who the murderer was. Without analyzing the funeral scene, the audience would not have believed that Cole could speak to the dead.

The movie Inception captured the imagination of many viewers as one of the best science fiction thriller movies to be produced (UKessay). It was produced and directed by Christopher Nolan who also directed The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Dunkirk. Inception is based on the concept that a single idea can be either the most valuable asset or the most dangerous weapon (UKessay).

I think this is the most appropriate day to watch scream it being Halloween. I really enjoyed it had the suspense and creepiness a good movie needs I've never seen it so it was a good treat and kind of out of my comfort zone because I'm not much for scary movies. There was tons of intertextuality that added to the storyline like the many references to different movies including Frankenstein, Psycho, and nightmare Elm on the street.

The Sweet Hereafter, directed by Atom Egoyan, is a film about the devastation caused by a bus crash in a small Canadian community that killed many of the town's children. Like many of Egoyan’s works, this film indicates his directorial style by using film techniques that place the audience in the characters shoes. Egoyan uses nonlinear timelines, motifs and music, along with his great use of camera work, mise en scene, and voice over, to present the plot in a way that engages the audience and leaves an impression long after the film has finished. A scene in the film that shows these techniques is the “Deposition Hearing Scene.” This scene is critical to the rest of the film because it helps the viewers understand Nicole’s character and how she feels towards her father. By having Nicole lie about the bus crash, Nicole is released from the abusive power of her father, Sam. In this scene, at first, Nicole seems vulnerable, but as the scene continues, the audience and character's views of her change.

The film that I have chosen as a case study for my final paper is: Pan’s labyrinth (2006) by director Guillermo del Toro, and it is a case of real-fantastic cinema. Here I present my essay entitled “ The narrative power of sound in Pan’s labyrinth “of Guillermo Del Toro . It will analyze the sound design , the identification of its elements, the ways in which they are presented and their interrelations, to understand and explain how these elements work together in conjunction with the visual image, to support the narration of the story. Consequently, this research seeks to answer the question: How does the sound in the film ‘Pans Labyrinth' relates to

Clothing line, producer, singer/songwriter, bassist, and television personality, is there anything Mark Hoppus can’t do? Apparently not. In an effort to break into film, he has now scored the four minute stop motion animated short “I’m Scared,” directed by Comedy Bang Bang’s Pete Levin. The film, which was produced by Levin, Musa Brooker, and Dan Levy, is based off of drawings done by Hoppus’ friend and artist Greg Simkins, better known as Craola; and follow as “Big Brother shares with Little Brother all the frightening things that inhabit the world at night as they try to go to sleep. Small concerns grow into spooky spectres as Big Brother's imagination takes over and their bedroom becomes a playground for monstrous creatures of all types.“

Inception, released in 2010, is an exhilarating science fiction film that keeps its audiences engaged and absorbed in the action by creating a sixth sense experience. This thriller is equipped with some of Hollywood’s most talented actors, including: Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, with Ken Watanabe and Michael Caine. Director and screenwriter, Christopher Nolan, produces works that displays his aptitude to venturing in unfamiliar perspectives. The Academy Award Nominee looks beyond reality and brings a whole nother world to life: the world of subconsciousness. Nolan’s usage of the technique of a variety of shots and cuts brings a completely different perception to viewers

Inception came out to theaters last 2010. It is an action, adventure and sci-fi film starring Leonardo DiCaprio (Cobb), Joseph Gordon Levitt (Arthur) and Ellen Page (Ariadne). The movie revolves around Cobb, whose job is to steal information from the minds of people through their dreams. He was given the task to perform the reverse called Inception on a businessman named Fischer in exchange for having the charges against him dropped and going back to America to finally see his children again. In the process of doing his job, Mal (Cobb’s wife who already passed away) keeps on appearing in the dreams as a projection of Cobb’s subconscious and becomes a danger to Cobb and his team.
