The Australian cinema in the 1960’s failed to communicate with the audience due to their lack of promotional messages that weren’t disseminated. Media is formed by cultural, political, economic and social conditions. These influenced or even directed its characteristics and its intended meaning. After a devastating blow to the film industry in the 1960’s, filmmakers of Australia had stopped creating and making quality Australian films. However, the Australian New Wave brought a revival of the Australian film industry during the 70's, 80's and 90’s. It introduced Australian qualities into film, including larrikinism, mateship and a classless social hierarchy. The Castle and Gallipoli confirm, promote and explore features of Australian identity

The Movie, The Prince Bride was about a young man named Westley and a woman named Buttercup that were deeply in love, but were separated for a long time due to their different paths in life. Westley would have to return in order to save Buttercup from not only an unwanted marriage but also to save her life. He must go through tons of trouble to be reunited with his true love Buttercup. In the movie The Princess Bride (1987) Rob Reiner explains that love is the strongest element Rob Reiner uses Irony and repetition to prove this point. Rob Reiner uses these elements in order emphasize the connection true love has is strong. In order to show people that love still exists therefore you shouldn’t just give up on love. The movie pertains towards people that are in love or have experienced it due to the movie being focused on a connection between two people even though how separate their lives were they were able to be together. The author uses Irony to prove that love is the strongest bond between people. When Westley was in a mission to save Buttercup he had a barrier in his way, a giant in which the odds on beating the giant was not in Westley’s favor. He was still able to Beat him in a fist fight, the connection true love created allowed him to win. The example from the movie was ironic because due to the odds westley had the viewers would think it would be impossible to fool the giant, the author was able to create physical but at the same time still making it ironic. This showed the viewers that there is nothing stopping him and true love. The author also uses irony when Buttercup believed that she was being forced to marry Prince Humperdink because he wanted the marriage, but actually the whole time Prince Humperdink was trying to have Buttercup killed by Vizzini who kidnapped and tried to murder her. He did all of this to frame it on Guilder to start a war. This shows irony and relates to the theme because the fact that Prince Humperdink was actually trying to kill Buttercup throws off the viewers because it seemed like he tried to save her when she was kidnapped but it was all his doings was completely against the viewer's expectation but created humor at the same time. This connects to the theme because

“Inconceivable!” Stated Wallace Shawn in The Princess Bride. This amazing cinematography was written by William Goldman and is based on his gripping novel. This cinema is a lovely fairytale adventure about a beautiful young woman named Buttercup and her true love Westley. He must find her after a long separation and save her from marrying the dreadful Prive Humperdinck. In this classic film, they have to battle the evils in the mythical kingdom of Florin to be reunited with each other.

I selected the film Princess Mononoke from director Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. The animated film consists of the genres action, adventure, fantasy, drama, and historical. Mamoru Fujisawa, also known professionally as Joe Hisaishi, is the sole composer of the film Princess Mononoke. The music pinpointed the battles that would take place in the film and even introductions of some integral characters that would have an affect on the story. The music even highlighted and enhanced the climax of the film.

Nothing will ever go according to plan. Tests are failed, people are changed, loves are lost. As is the case with Tim Burton’s The Corpse Bride, following the story of an elegiac young man, the son of newly rich fishmongers. Victor Van Dort (Johnny Depp) is betrothed to Victoria Everglot (Emily Watson), the daughter of penniless aristocrats, to heighten both of their families, and despite his initial terror, he falls in love with her. Unfortunately, Victor has a horrible time at the rehearsal and cannot remember his vows, leading him off into the words where, while practicing, he inadvertently puts the wedding ring on the Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter), a young woman who was murdered on her wedding day for her parent 's money. Victor’s adventures in the land of the dead tear him between his new wife and his intended bride, while teaching him more about himself and those around him. Throughout the film, the elegantly lifelike clay figures portray the lifelessness of the living juxtaposed with the liveliness of the dead in Victorian Europe.

Corpse Bride is a beautiful movie about love, death, and sacrifices, in a classic Tim Burton style the movie is dark but with a gradual light. The living world is portrayed as dull and nearly colorless but the land of the dead is a completely different situation because it is full of color and excitement. Although this movie sounds like a horror film just by the title and the appearance of the cover art but it is the exact opposite. This movie is very well written and played out, it may one of the most beautiful and touching animated love stories. Tim Burton is an excellent writer, animator, director, artist, and producer known for his dark and gothic works so this movie does not fall short of any expectations. Many people compare Corpse Bride to other Tim Burton movies because of its eerie vibes and uniqueness. (Member reviews for Tim Burton's Corpse Bride | Common Sense Media.).

Throughout Burton’s films, one simple thought is true in all of them. From Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children to Alice in Wonderland, Burton emphasizes that “Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?” Deviating from the predestined path created for the main characters emulates Frida Kahlo’s “Along the Border Line Between Mexico and the United States” The vast majority of Burton’s characters find themselves on a line between the path and visions that society and their family has carved out for them, and the path and visions that are all their own. By incorporating contrasting settings and strained family relationships in his films, Burton promotes the idea that young people truly find themselves only when they deviate from the path that society has carved for them.

The movie, After the Wedding, is a very complex movie that displays a series of events surrounding a wedding and continuing to show what most movies fail to depict in their Hollywood visions of a “good movie,” what happens AFTER the picture-perfect wedding. The movie involves a man who is attempting to open a safe haven for children in a poverty-stricken community. While he has continuously failed previous projects, Jacob is determined to help the children he has become close to in order to provide the necessities they have been lacking for years, including simplistic things like immunizations and medications for common sicknesses.

I was not planning on reviewing this before it aired, but after screening it, I was so utterly impressed with this movie--seriously, it is one of the best Hallmark films I have seen in a long time. And I don 't say that glibly by any means. I know I am known for my positive reviews, but this one goes far beyond that. I never once had to remind myself to concentrate on the positive aspects of the film. The acting, the story, and the message were one of the finest Hallmark has featured in some time. Not to mention, it was gentle, amusing, and genuinely enjoyable family viewing.

Niall sat on his couch wondering how everything went wrong. He should have stopped her from leaving. Was he really that desperate to force a liar to stay in love with him? His shaky hands feel around for the cool glass. The alcohol burns his lungs, but they dull the pain in his heart. “Did you start drinking without me?” That soft giggle rings out, causing Niall to turn with a smirk. “Hey, I’m glad you are finally here.” There she was, Nora, his best friend. She was tall, curvy, and she had these brown eyes that put Liam’s eyes to shame. “How bad was it?” Nora asks looking up from her beer bottle. “Well, she said that I cheated on her.” “Let me guess, it was with me?” Nora snorts the minute she sees Niall nod his head. Everyone thought that she was either cheating with Niall or he was cheating with her. They were just best friends that enjoyed a nice pint over some football. “Well, it is her loss.” “Yeah, we didn’t even have sex.” “Wow, she is really missing out.” Nora jokes. She had felt something for Niall a long time ago, but chalked it up to being lonely. Niall had always wondered what it was like to kiss his best friend, but fear kept him from getting near her. “Hey, do you remember that drinking game we used to play?” Niall asks really needing to get drunk fast. The game was really stupid, and an easy way to get drunk. Nora would start with a word, and they would keep saying words back and forth. The minute someone paused to think about the next word

When deconstructing the aspects that render someone a human being, a logical conclusion that one would arrive to is the concept of love. The film Her is a vivid portrayal of the possible intimate relationship between humans and machines because it evaluates the idea of love and the emotions associated with it as being not just exclusive to humans but is really an intangible, and universal force between two parties. A depiction of a man’s relationship with an artificially intelligent being, on the surface, is a problematic emblem stemming from misconceptions and cultural taboos, but at its fundamental core, the phases of the relationship are no different than what is normally experienced between two humans. From the idyllic beginning, to the maturation of the connection between Theodore and his Operating System (OS) Samantha through intense passion and the coming to terms with each other’s flaws, to the bittersweet end when two individuals eventually grow apart, the film Her gives an honest portrayal of love between two beings as representative of the larger more intimate impact that technology will play in the future.

In the fairy-tale within a tale, The Princess Bride produced in 1987 by Act III Communications, with an amazing cast, begins when a young boy becomes ill and is visited by his grandfather. His grandfather brings a storybook to cheer up the little boy. The story is about a beautiful woman, Buttercup, the hero who is in love with her, Westley, and an evil prince, Humperdinck, who is there to ruin the day. Buttercup, a former farm girl, had been chosen as the prince’s bride, although she does not love him. Westley is still her one true love. Westley was a hired hand on the farm where Buttercup lived, his constant answer “as you wish” to any request she made to him was his way of expressing his love to her. Westley went away only to be rumored to have been killed by the Dread Pirate Roberts. On a horse ride to clear her mind of the upcoming marriage she was soon to face, she was kidnapped by a band of bandits. The bandits include a Spaniard named Inigo Montoya, who has trained himself his entire life to be an expert swordsman for the revenge on a six-fingered man who killed his father, Vizzini who was the witty one, and a giant named Fezzik who works on his strength. The trio are in return being chased by the Dread Pirate Roberts, who turns out to be the beloved Westley, and the Prince’s men led by Count Tyrone Rugen. The adventures of the characters eventually lead to the palace of Prince Humperdinck where the fairy-tale plays out as

If a film fails to capture the theme it attempts to portray, then what is the film actually about? One would hope a film titled Transcendence would provide a unique and original story for its audience. Instead, Transcendence is plagued with a weak script and terrible acting. The film is difficult to follow due to its lack of flow and the cinematography feels dated, filled with cheap CGI (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.
