The Blow

Based on a true story, Blow tells the story of the main character George Jung. George became one of the largest if not the largest cocaine trafficker in the United States, because of the trafficking of Pablo Escobar`s cocaine, it changed the face of America in the 1970s. Being business partners with Pablo Escobar, George was never in short supply of the cocaine he was trafficking. As I watched the movie and observed George`s addictive behavior, I realized that it started as a child and the first

The 400 Blows is a great film. It is a testimony to Francois Truffaut’s greatness. This is a film about a young French boy that has a troubled childhood. He was a rebel of sorts. He got in some trouble in the classroom and out of the classroom. He wasn’t necessarily more troublesome than any other kid during that time. I think he is misunderstood and put in difficult situations. This French Film Noir had music, scenery, and a unique freeze frame that made this film great. Music added to this film

The 1981 film Blow Out and the 1976 film Carrie are just two of over thirty films directed by Brian De Palma. Although they span an array of genres and topics, De Palma’s films are recognizable by his distinct director’s touch.

François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows (1959). Hollywood produced films of the time used a very limited variation in film techniques such as camera, acting, mise-en-scene, editing and sound. This can be mainly attributed to the low innovative thought of creative and expressive camera movements, angles, etc… due to technological hindrances. In particular, this film analysis will de-construct the filmmaking elements of the revelatory French New Wave movement in Truffaut’s The 400 Blows ending scene (01:34:42

in the history of cinema. Spurred as a result of major shifts in economic, social and technological norms within post-WW11 France, the New Wave conceived a renewed mode of expression across various creative industries. Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows (1959) and Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960) are two films, which despite major disparities, would go on to exemplify integral characteristics of the movement in the following years.

Actually, both these works resemble each other by both having many types of isolation. Initially, P.K. in The Power of One and Richard in Black Boy are isolated by members of their family. Subsequently, they are both excluded by society because of their backgrounds. Ultimately, they are excluded within their own races

Sinister Night The moon was covered by voluminous clouds, casting a gloomy setting of the dusk sky night. Gusts of wind swayed the greenery as the paved road-- separating the dense forest and an old neighborhood--was decorated with wet spots from the light rain. Cold droplets of water penetrated through Giselle's sweater, making her shiver. She rubbed her arms in an attempt to make herself feel warmer while hurrying her step to get home.

Ava had found herself in more than a few situations that had left her cheeks bright red with embarrassment and shame, but this topped all of them by far. It was bad enough that her bronzed, nubile body was marred by the grime and dirt that seemed to infest every spot upon the floor of the locker room. In fact, it was bad enough that her rival, who had just beat and humiliated her in front of an audience, was now being pleased by Ava’s tongue. However, the worst part of it all, as she lay there with
