What Makes Your Favorite Movie?

The movie I have chosen for my review paper is Schindler 's List. The film was directed and co-produced by Steven Spielberg. Schindler 's List is an American made movie although it was filmed in Poland. I chose this movie because I am interested in history and in World War 2. The setting takes place primarily in Krakow, Poland during World War 2 (1939-1945). Poland was under German occupation at the time. The setting of the film shows us the Holocaust and the mistreatment of the Jews. This makes it of historical importance in understanding its social stratification value. It was especially important to Steven Spielberg because he is also Jewish and his family has direct ties to the Holocaust. The social stratification concepts I chose are social differentiation, social inequality, and the stratification systems. Specifically the slave and social class systems. Social Stratification is defined as “A form of inequality in which categories of people are systematically ranked in a hierarchy on the basis of their access to scare but valued resources.” (Thompson, Hickey 199). Concepts of social stratification revolve around inequality, differential treatment, and unequal access to wealth, power, and prestige. The plot of the movie revolves around these concepts with the differential treatment of the Jews by the Nazi Germans. This is what makes these stratification concepts sociologically important. The plot shows how the Jews were stripped of their wealth, power, and prestige.

My favorite movie is ‘Remember the Titans’ it was composed by Trevor Rabin. This historical film was created in 2000 in September. As this movie is a symbolic showing of race and the movement of integration of whites and african-americans into public schools. With such a difficult topic to cover for these producers and others, the music was crucial to what the viewer needed to see to understand the situation and setting of the movie. Although this movie was about the racial inequalities of the school system, this movie was an inspirational movie, about how people that integrate at first hate one another, but soon are brought together for the passion that all people had in common, the love for football. During the movie my favorite part was when the team is at training camp, Coach Boone, the new african american coach, took all his boys to a remote area to have camp, to get away from all the hate in their town. So, once they are there they have early morning, intense practices and then of course required bonding time with a person of the other race. But my favorite part of the movie was when they were in the middle of practice, and they run through a play with music setting in the background, then after the african american running back Petey gets hit he falls and with him he loses the football. Watching this part of the movie and listening to what Coach Boone said to him and treated him like he would treat anyone else is a crucial part in this movie, because Boone put all

“I believe that today is the day you should know how I chose my career” and suddenly everyone's eyes and ears opened up. Mrs. Chavez had abandoned her normal playful tone and opted for a more serious one. I was wearing my red and white summer uniform. It was already about 20 degrees outside and as I gently rubbed my hands against each other, my palms started to sweat. I didn't know what to expect from the story as she began telling it. However, each word she said pulled me in closer and closer.

My memories include being able to safely operate all the rides and the ability to be versatile. However the one I admired the most was when they made me responsible for the Train Ride which included ½ mile track and tunnel.

I was looking at your credits, and you have been busy. You've got more credits than some of the adults I interview. {pause} So why did you decide to become an actor?

I love movies. For as long as I can remember, I’ve harvested a passionate, slightly embarrassing obsession with film. The way in which cinema can paint such vivid and beautiful moving images, portray moving stories containing a wide range of emotion and narrative threads, leaving a long-term impact on the viewer, all within a runtime of two hours or so, captured my fascination at an early age. This fascination continues to this day. While I cannot state for certain the first film I ever watched (My parents seem to think it was either Disney’s animated princess flick Mulan or The Phantom Menace, the first film in the Star Wars prequel trilogy), I can most definitely remember the first film that left a lasting impression on my youthful mind, in addition to inspiring me until this day.

There I stood a short, chubby eleven year old boy ready to take on the world of professional theatre. Looking back now I realize that I had no clue what I was getting myself into, but at the time I thought of myself as “Broadway Ready.” As I wandered through the densely packed hallways I would brush past all of the equity actors, they would smile at me or make comments such as

JB: For me, filmmaking began with picking up a friend’s camcorder the first time and simply starting to make movies. It was one Saturday a long time ago, I think I was thirteen. From that moment on, I knew there was no other option, and aside from some part-time

Even though it may not sound like it, my most memorable experience is working for a home care company. The company I work for is called Residential Physicians Association. I have been working with this company for 2 years as a Medical Assistant. My role is assisting doctors in making home visits. These home visits are more relaxed than hospital visits because the patients are in the comfort of their own home. It is a rewarding feeling to see how grateful patients are to have a service come out to their house. Taking vitals and drawing blood is my most learned skill I have learned with this job. Doing these small procedures gives me hope that I can one day succeed in major medical surgeries. The opportunity of this job has shaped me to find my calling while enjoying every day of it. Memorable experiences are created every day without realizing, while creating memories is important, it is also important that you are

An excellently crafted movie filled with action, witty banter, and even romance, The Princess Bride is entertainment for the whole family. There’s sword fights for for action-inclined people and clever phrases riddled throughout the script for the intellectuals. Overall, the movie has become an American classic. The story itself is presented as a mere love story, but there is so much more to the movie than just the theme of love. Subplots are intertwined masterfully, and the ending leaves all the viewers satisfied and all the separate plots resolved. This movie has earned five stars, and should be seen by everyone at some point in their life.

Okay so over the weekend I saw a total of two wonderful movies, one in the theater (Mockingjay pt.2 ), and two at home (6 Years, (500) Days of Summer). All three where so good that I decided to write about them.

My favorite Disney Memory is the first time I visited Disneyland at Los Angeles, California. I was in 4th grade and I went with my mom and aunt. I absolutely loved very character walking down the street and dancing. I really loved the Haunted Mansion attraction; it was one of the best. The best thing I’ve seen was the midnight parade with the fireworks and the musical show they perform. It really made me happy and makes me happy now of just thinking about it.

I wanted not only to watch films, but to learn about them. I wanted to surround myself with film, I wanted to read about it, write about it, hear about it. I had this craving to apply these onscreen visions to my everyday life, and slowing I began to do so. I began to read magazines like Variety and Entertainment Weekly where I tried to understand their views on cinema and what made a movie a hit or miss. Soon I found myself critiquing everyone movie I sat down and watched. I traveled back in time and transported myself to the world of Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, in hopes that their movies would show the foundation of cinema that seemed to be hidden by all the glitz and glam of today's Hollywood. I opened up to different genres of film and found some of my favorite movies to be of the foreign film category. I based many school projects on the history of cinema such as Hollywood’s Effect on The Great Depression, or the importance of Cult Classic films. Pretty quickly I realized my archive of film knowledge surpassed anything Blockbuster ever would have been capable

Ever since I was a young kid I have always been interested in movies. My grandma, who was full of the wise the life experience left, always knew about my interest in movies. She feed my vain for the art. Even though her religion, she professed Adventist of seven-day religion, didn't let her go to the cinema, she always found the way to took me to the cinema. She and I enjoyed watch movies. We used to sit in the darkness room, with our faces illuminated from the reflection of the light which rebooted from the screen, both absorbs in the plot of the movie which made us laughed or cried. After the movie, while we went back to her home, she started to talk about the movie. She had a particular point of view where the main story

During the spring break, I watched Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One at the Balboa Theater, a long-standing independent cinema that first opened its doors in 1926. Given the theater’s decor and screening of Hollywood blockbusters and indie films, I think the viewing of Ready Player One, a delightful mashup of 80’s pop culture, was enhanced quite well by the cinema’s atmosphere. The theatre appears antique, moreso like a theater that holds plays and musicals, but one that appeals to a film buff or younger, hipper generation. This is in part due to its brown floral styled carpet, old arcade games, outdated photobooth, and classic film posters spread on the wall. Everything was fresh and new to me, as I never attend independent theaters.
