What Is The Difference Between Constant Diamond And The Constant Gardener

Lighting is used as a major technique in this film as it is often used to set the mood. Due to Vidal’s world always being shown enveloped in blue-grey hue, it immediately shows the viewers that is isn’t a welcoming place to be. This shade of lighting helps create a detached feeling which is in great contrast to the golden, homely, and warm lighting of Ofelia’s fantasy world portraying a safe and enchanting atmosphere.

In conclusion, tessa and april’s experiences growing up were extremely similar. Their struggle with relationships started when they got separated from their parents. Which influenced their relationships with men, they both had hard time trusting their partners whether their trust issue was justified or not. Making thing even worst was the lost of a once loved one. Luckily, both characters found a meaning in their life and connections to people they didn’t even realise that they

In Neil Blomkamp’s District 9 and Clint Eastwood’s Invictus, the idea of apartheid is expressed using many different point of views, language and stylistic features. They both use camera angles and techniques to highlight power structures and point of views in the films. Additionally, they both use Mis-on-scene and symbolism to highlight pinnacle perspectives, values and opinions of different characters and communities. Most importantly they both use social historical context to add layers to the film, District 9 itself being a film which shows how devastating

Even as the story begins, she avoids all topics involving her eldest son. At Christmas with her family, she and Conrad was suggested to take a photo together. She practically winced at the idea, and tried to get another picture with someone else. The obvious use of silence by masking made Conrad very upset. If she were to have handled it a different way, possibly by looking at it from the other point of view, this conflict would have ended much more peacefully. Another example is while she and Calvin was at a dinner with friends, she avoided telling them how her other son was doing. When Calvin told them Conrad was seeing a psychiatrist, she became very upset with him. This kind of silence, simply called avoidance, makes actually dealing with the topic harder, because one is so used to pushing it under the rug. If she were to have been honest and talked to someone about how she was feeling with a crucial conversation, she would not have to keep using the silence to keep herself away from feeling what she really

All in all African films have completely different politics and aesthetics than films made in the U.S. The film Lumumba shows the politics of liberation. The film Pieces D’Identities shows the aesthetics of self identity. The film Afrique, Je Te Plumerai shows the aesthetics of allegories of colonialism. In conclusion Hollywood would not dare to touch the politics nor aesthetics of these films due to Hollywood’s prejudices and other

First of all, before analysing the theme, it is necessary to clarify the notion of “dynamic of power”. In fact, this denotes the dialectic interaction between the subject possessing the power and the object which is influenced by this power. In literature, this liaison is expressed by the relations between a master and a slave. For instance, the Russian writers Dostoevsky and Tolstoy explored the theme of the relations between a master and a slave, an oppressor and an oppressed in their works. Since this theme has stirred the imagination of many writers, it is not surprising that the possibility to expose this type of relations has attracted the filmmakers for the decades.

“Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it’s probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it”(Banksy). The main idea of this essay is how can films change people’s perceptions. There are three main subtopics that will be discussed and thouroughly analyzed which are emotions, racism, and documentaries, how these categories can affect people. Film is the most effective way of changing people's perspectives.

While both films, Battle of Algiers (Igor Film, 1966) and Culloden (BBC, 1964) explore themes of European Colonialism and the resistance to end it, the films address these issues using differing methodologies. The purpose of my paper will be to discuss these similarities and differences to provide the reader with an understanding of the various approaches the directors have taken in portraying similar themes.

Skin color is not what should define people, yet in so many cases millions of people suffer from discrimination. In two movies, “Rabbit-Proof Fence” by Doris Pilkington Garima and “Hotel Rwanda” by Terry George that dealt with african american people who had to go through the struggles of not fitting the “perfect” image of people around them. The first movie, “Rabbit-Proof Fence” deals with three young girls who are taken away from their family to Moore River. The oldest girl, Molly, leads their escape back home. The second movie, “Hotel Rwanda” is about the Hutus and Tutsis fighting against each other. It also portrays how the characters had to stand together through hard times. Sadly, both movies portray people who are different being treated unfairly. The two are summarized and have both similarities and differences.

Caetlin Benson-Allott points out how the feel and sense that the movie tries to emulate can no longer be obtained, or viewed because of the current age of media and the role of the economic cycle plays into the current age of film. Since modern films make most of their money through DVD and movie sales after a film's theatrical release the idea behind exploitation movies has been perverted further into a direction that illustrates the death of the theatrical nature of

Throughout his career, Alfonso Cuarón has proven himself to be a talented and versatile director in multiple genres. This report will discuss two of Cuarón’s works, A Little Princess (1995) and Children of Men (2006). Released almost a decade apart, the Disney family film and dystopian drama share many differences but also some important similarities. In particular, the themes of segregation and isolation play a central role in both films and are both adapted to screen using similar film techniques such as use of colour and camera angles. Through an analysis of these key themes, this report will discuss their significance and endurance in Cuarón’s wider body of work.

The movie the 'Amistad'' and its long-overlooked story of a slave-ship mutiny and trial, the film presents the experience of captivity from one African character. He is the leader of this rebellion, the fierce figure who became known as Cinque. The film is a glimpse of Cinque's wife and child in their peaceful village, and sees him gaze warmly at their backs as they walk away from him forever. Then, with no warning, Cinque is ambushed and captured, destined to be sent halfway around the world. Viewers wishing to avoid waterworks can only be grateful that Mr. Spielberg denies the wife and child a backward glance.

She always had, and thought she always would. Her family consisting of her mother, father and little brother Bram have lived in Mapletree Borogh all their life. Everything was peaceful, or so they thought. The day of the match banquet was a series of preparation for the girls of Mapletree. As at age seventeen the girls will find out which boy they have been destine to marry, and a chance to show off their beauty by colorful dresses, instead of their regular brown, black or grey clothes. Cassia was especially excited as this was the day she’s been dreaming off, showing up as the only girl in a bright green dress. Her match, well it was an unusually one as she was matched with her best friend since childhood Xander. It seem like a fairy tale as both family were excited, and Cassia’s peers jealous, as Xander was a good cached, and they already shared so many memories together, they knew even before the banquet they be perfect together. Cassia was happy, at least until she put her card in to find out all about Xander’s life and saw a face that wasn’t Xander’s staring back at

Lighting and colour theory is an often overlooked aspect of filmmaking which can have drastic effects on the perceptions of the audience, the atmosphere, and the watchability of the film. In The Book Thief they use lighting and colour to show ideas about locations and perceptions and perceptions of characters. One such way colour is used is the vibrant greens used in the wealthier area of the town, compared to the shades of grey predominant in the majority of the town. This change in colour shows the audience that the rich weren’t as badly affected by that which affected the rest of the town. Secondly, lighting was used in the scene wherein Liesel meets Max when he wakes up for the first time. In this scene Max wakes up and sees Liesel, but

Hess and Zimmermann mention that conventional categories have blurred and there’s demands for new political and aesthetic responses in transnational cinema (John Hess 2006). These transnational films I believe would be growing significantly in the film industry as a part of film history.
