Did you know that it took Tim Burton and 15 stop motion animators 10 years to The Nightmare Before Christmas argument come up with the whole plot and then 3 years to film The Nightmare Before Christmas? There is a huge controversy surrounding this movie. Some people believe that this great movie was more of a Christmas movie. I believe that The Nightmare Before Christmas is more of a Halloween Movie than a Christmas movie. My first reason for my thoughts on this movie being a Halloween movie is

Psych. 110 Mental Illness Psychological disorder, also known as a mental disorder, is a pattern of behavioral or psychological symptoms that impact multiple life areas and/or create distress for the person experiencing these symptoms (Cherry Kendra). Films could be used as a medium for teaching anyone about psychology, social work, medicine, nursing, counseling, and even literature. Or media studies about mental illness and psychopathology (Movies and Mental). As such, I had watched a psychological

peaceful as Boyle portrays in his movie, but more fearful and terrifying like Boo described in Behind the Beautiful Forevers. Slumdog Millionaire shows Jamal’s “slumdog” childhood as an exciting adventure, carefree, always finding ways to acquire food or money, and narrowly escaping punishment for his deviant acts every time; however, the reality of childhood in the slum is better illustrated in Boo’s book since it expose the danger of problems such as hunger, illness and childhood deviance.

Guns in the Classroom 131 people have died in mass school shootings since 1999 to 2015 (Le Miere). This excludes any shootings that have resulted with 4 or less fatalities because they are not considered mass shootings. However, these tragic events can be prevented or stopped faster if a trained adult had presented a firearm. I believe that if a teacher would like to have a firearm in their classroom to help prevent any fatalities from possible school shootings they should be allowed. Many people

Patrick Rothfuss, an American writer, once said, “It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.” Rothfuss explains how storytelling is always a part of everyone. Stories are told in different ways, and those stories shape the person tremendously. Many of the stories told today are what shape the audience. In “The Things they Carried”, by Tim O’Brien, and the film “Big Fish”, directed

“It’s gonna be okay, Stick Man. I swear.” The cops swarmed up beside him and The Robber turned frantic eyes to his. Harvey’s eyes blurred with blue and black. “I’ll write you a letter, Harvey,” he said as the arms of the cops came around him to arrest him and carry him down to the waiting patrol car. “I’ll write you a letter.” THE SHOOTER When Harvey was thirteen, his appendix swelled up like white bread thrown over the top of a soup bowl. His father, a coal miner’s son and lifelong factory worker

Multiple Source Paper Slumdog Millionaire: The Feel-Good Movie When Danny Boyle’s film Slumdog Millionaire came out at the end of 2008, people instantly fell in love with it. In 2009 it was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won eight, which was the most won by any film that year. Everyone seemed to be very drawn to the “feel good” aspect of the movie where a poor kid like Jamal, the main character of Boyle’s film, can overcome the massive obstacles thrown in front of his path to success and

“I recall being one of those kids where every day was a science fair… It's like well, 'here, let's mix this up and see if it blows up'.” Tim Burton was always quirky as a child, but he was okay with his differences and embraced them through his art. Influenced by the “B” horror films from his childhood, Tim Burton brought the iconic dark mood into his movies, giving a modern twist to the idea of monsters and obscurity. The characters portrayed in his films had the obscure qualities that he saw in

The best use of 3D in films comes when a filmmaker is trying to absorb the audience into a different world. Scorsese's *Hugo* leads the audience into Scorsese's magical and whimsical Paris with a gorgeous train staton. *Coraline* draws the audience into Coraline's disturbing alternative life. *Avatar* literally creates a separate world and realizes it with 3D. Marvel's *Doctor Strange*, while not equal in overall cinematic quality to these films, uses 3D incredibly well to align the audience with
