Clip Analysis This clip is from the 1929 movie, Un Chien Andalou. This film uses two specific formal choices that illustrate it’s surrealism, including discontinuity editing and close-ups. Discontinuity editing in this film went against Hollywood’s continuity rules of seamlessly blending scenes together that not only made narrative sense, but visual sense as well. However in Un Chien Andalou, these rules are broken by obscure, random images that don’t seem to fit together and lack any narrative sense

An epic story once told from family to family has transformed into modern day movies that many people watch. An example of a movie that is a modern day epic story is Rocky IV. Characteristics of an epic story that are demonstrated in Rocky IV are a character that is highly valued or important to his people, a setting that spans across great amounts of land, and many examples of the hero’s super strength that none of the other characters.

The Na’vi lives in a state of spiritual purity, like when Adam and Eve lived in the Garden. Too bad that Eve wasn't able to resist the temptation of knowledge and doomed the rest of the humankind to the same suffering of her sins.

First, the occupied world consists of things, each an accumulation of the threads of life, and not of objects which are considered as bounded, independent and absolute entities. Per Ingold (2010: 2) To create things, per Aristotle, involves a bringing together of a “form (morphe) and matter (hyle)”. To illustrate this, let’s consider Vitraya Ramunong or The Tree of Souls (Avatar,2009). Where do the Tree of Souls end and the rest of Pandora begin

In director of James Cameron’s Avatar(2009) a militaristic security force has been ordered by the Resources Development Administration(RDA) to forcibly evict the Na’vi, a peaceful tribe of natives living on the planet Pandora, from their homeland.

Avatar In 2009 Avatar was released with a highly positive review. Watching this movie around eight times in the first year it was out I concluded that the deeper meaning of the story could be taken two different ways. In a sense it could be depicting how the European’s came and took the Indian’s land, just how the Na’vi seemed to be Native American in traditions and beliefs.
