Who Is The Antagonist In Chinatown Film

The movie took place on a hot day in summer, since it is a story about a movie about one day, lighting is going to change from bright in the morning, brighter in the afternoon, less brighter at sunset, night which is dark and finally the next morning. There was a lot of emphasis on how it was really hot, so it is important that the brightness to stand out. Spike Lee kind of showed us how hot it is. There was a scene where could see the heat waves surrounding the tree old men on the sidewalk. The lighting in the riot scene in the end was great, it was very realistic and it captured the audience emotionally, especially those who have memories of such riots.

     Gettis couldn't get a one-liner right if his nose depended on it. Throughout the film Gettis is screwing up jokes or lines that were meant to be sharp and humorous. In opposition to Gettis, Marlowe is socially smooth and rather witty. You could almost say Gettis is clumsy and crass. The impression we are left with about Gettis is normalizing. Gettis loses the stature that comes with a protagonist filled with bravado. He comes off kind of plain, almost corny, a regular guy.

There was a Mid-Autumn parade in Chinatown on that day, accompanying the dragon and lion dancing, Marann started to give us illustration about Chinatown. Because It is hard to get a parking lot in Chinatown, and the people who live in Chinatown celebrated Mid-Autumn Day, so I decided to take BART to go there. Before I met our tour guide, I went across to Union Square and passed a tunnel. The one side of the tunnel is to connect the western world, like Union Square, and the another side of the tunnel is to connect to the orient world, Chinatown. Finally I walked to inside Portsmouth Square Park, park level, and then I saw our tour guide, Manuel Maranan who took us to Chinatown. That’s a very big park, and it’s close to Hilton hotel, there was a China’s nation flag, also there was a Taiwan’s flag. Many Chinese visitors

     Films that are classified as being in the film noir genre all share some basic characteristics. There is generally a voice-over throughout the film in order to guide the audience's perceptions. These movies also involve a crime and a detective who is trying to figure out the truth in the situation. This detective usually encounters a femme fatale who seduces him. However, the most distinctive feature of the film noir genre is the abundance of darkness.

Modern day Chinatown is a vibrant and bustling community full of bright colors and Chinese characters adorning buildings as far as the eye can see. Chinese elders roam around the narrow and unkempt streets while children frolic around from store to store with wide smiles, riffling through toy stores as store owners look on. Mothers scurry from store to store searching for the most tender meats to buy for the night's dinner or for the next day's lunch. Tourists from nearby downtown drift into the heart of Chinatown with large and expensive cameras, posing for pictures with Lion head statues and continue on, buying cheap Chinatown goods along the way. Everywhere there are signs of the Chinese immigrant's sweat, labor, and collective efforts

The film Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry (2012) is a documentary directed by Alison Klayman. It follows contemporary Chinese artist and activist, Ai Weiwei, documenting how he stood up against the Chinese government and revealed the horrific actions the government commits. Ai Weiwei differs from other critics of the Chinese government because he uses aggressive words, while his fellow critics do not insult the government or the Communist Party. He uses several mediums to show how the government has acted including his blog and documentaries, showing what Chinese citizens go through on a daily basis.. Weiwei is incredibly brave for putting his life on the line to fight for a better country and a better world.

It address subjects that otherwise may not have been focused on. The fact that is a satire about gang violence in Chicago might seem a bit insensitive. Not everyone may see this movie in the brightest light, but it makes a lot of good arguments. It creates dialogue about sexism and the violence faced in certain areas of Chicago, which is crucial to solving these issues. Whether one may have like this film or not, I think everyone can agree people are talking about it and I think that was Spike Lee’s objective in creating it. This movie encourages people to find solutions and brings hope to those living in

The movie backgrounds and choices of sets were well created. The sets were detailed and were very vivid. The background and choice of locations were appropriate and well thought out (Library and Archives Canada, Building the Canadian Pacific Railway). It provided a good representation of what it was really like for the Chinese workers in the 1880s. The costumes the actors used were well designed.

The viewer sees a private eye and beautiful client. First thought, "It’s definitely another Hollywood crime drama." On the surface, Chinatown has all the elements of a film noir: the presence of a beautiful but dangerous woman, otherwise known as the femme fatale, a gritty urban setting, compositional tension (highly contrasting light and dark colors or oblique camera angles), and themes of moral ambiguity and alienation. Chinatown, however, is different. Polanski shot Chinatown with color film, and though his colors do appear especially vivid, color film precludes the contrast intensity that black and white film offers. In addition, Evelyn is not the classic femme fatale. Though Jake mistakes her for her husband’s killer at first, Mrs.

In Cawelti’s piece, he talks about the “generic transformation” that appears in Chinatown. Most of all, he points at the “myth” of the hard-boiled detective, a well known noir character archetype that appears in both Chinatown and The Long Goodbye. According to Cawelti, the “hard-boiled” detective is an archetype that is meant to portray the “moral ambiguity” theme often seen in classical film noir. These types of characters are licensed by the state as private investigators, but are far from morally upright beings. They follow their own internal code of ethics, and if the law needs to be broken in order for the job to get done, that is just the way things have to go (Cawelti 499-500). Both Jake Gittes and Philip Marlowe are private investigators who do their own thing when it comes to enforcing the law. Mostly because they realize that the system is corrupt, so they invent their own form of justice. To Gittes, that means lying his way in and out of most situations; to Marlowe that means killing his friend who has committed murder.

Roman Polanski's Hollywood film Chinatown, directed in 1974, tells the story of Jake Gittes, a private investigator. The film focuses in on the dark reality of corruption behind power hungry men, making this a true neo-noir film. Chinatown reveals a depth narrative allowing the viewer to follow Gittes and uncover the secrets around the water dispute in California. I chose to bring focus to the significance of the male gaze and how this form of power can change and affect our views. The prominent female character in the film, Evelyn Mulwray, is a wealthy white woman. With her character comes active male attention and desire. Laura Mulvey's Theory of "The Gaze" supports this argument by studying the power and influence of a patriarchal

Both Hancock and Myers praise myriad actors and actresses in the movie, including Leonardo DiCaprio (Jay Gatsby), Carey Mulligan (Daisy Buchanan), Joel Edgerton (Tom Buchanan), Jason Clarke (George Wilson), and Isla Fisher (Myrtle Wilson), meanwhile, Ogle offers a slightly different opinion on the acting and characters. Hancock (2013) comments that the casts are “impressive” and suitable for their assigned roles, especially, the cast of Gatsby and Tom (7). He asserts that DiCaprio’s “aesthetic appeal” and acting make him become “flawless as Gatsby” (7). Comparatively, Edgerton also make the great “rotten Tom” out of his acting (7). Myers (2013), as well, compliments on Mulligan, Fisher, Clarke, and distinctly, DiCaprio. Myers (2013) even commends DiCaprio that he “nails every note” since he brilliantly performs his role as a “sexy and secretive”

The Gister Method written by Joe Alberti starts off profiling the Gister Method of Acting by profiling how necessary it is to understand all aspects of the character that you are playing in order to embody the person and express the objective of the character to the audience. Alberti tells us that, “Who am I? Refers to you, as the character” (Alberti 7). This is important because it is not the character as a fictional being. It is YOU as the character and this means adding a part of oneself into any character they are portraying. This is the Gister Method at it’s most basic level and the basis for the rest of the first chapter that focuses specifically on the Who am I? by outlining how to read a play, how to use imagination to transform into a character, and characteristics that forces an actor to discover who a character is by forcing them to look beyond the surface of the text of the play.

The Chinese Mayor is a controversial documentary film that is from China. Datong is a historically important city in China, but it was fall into a decline. The mayor Yanbo Geng has a transformation plan for this city. The birth of the documentary is associated with the social situation of China. This documentary film shows a different mayor with his distinctive thinking in China and the things he does in his tenure of office. Creators create is because of a need to change thinking. They want to take the new ideas to challenge the old ones to push the And also, the reason of this documentary film born will be discussed clearly in this essay.

The film was an experimental type film, because from the point of view of Hollywood, the gangster must die or go to jail, we see the initial contact between the film and audience and the expiations of what is going to happen and even though the audience knows the end results . We did still watch to see what would
