With a total budget of $4.4 million, it was an exceptionally modest amount considering the average Australian feature film budget at the time was around $3 million.

When Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) came out, it gained notoriety as the first movie with a budget exceeding $100 million; however, today, T2 doesn't even crack the top 200 in terms of the highest budgets and, in fact, 45 of the 50 most expensive films ever made were produced in the last 10 years (Buchman, 2014, para. 1). But why are today's movies so costly to make? The information that follows will attempt to answer this question. However, before that, we'll see how movies are financed, marketed, and distributed in the studio and independent systems. Finally, we'll conclude with a short look at how these aspects have changed over time.…
But the thing is, a lot of these films which are produced aren't even memorable. I mean do you guys even remember that there was a King Kong or power rangers movie that came out this year, yeah I didn't think so. Because of this, Hollywood has in fact started to lose money because of all these unnecessary properties being produced and made annually. This occurred last just last year when Paramount Pictures lost $450 million dollars due to films such as Rings, Ninja Turtles, and Zoolander 2, doing extremely poorly in the box office and being barely able to break even. But notice how all three of these films were either unnecessary sequels or reboots from properties which had originally come out during the 1900s and early 2000s? Which brings me to my next…
The Revolutionary war, sparked by the colonist's anger towards taxation without representation, was a conflict between the United States and its mother country Great Britain. This event had been considered the most significant event in the American history. It separated the thirteen colonies from the tyrannical ruling of King George. The revolutionary war was not a big war, "The military conflict was, by the standards of later wars, a relatively modest one. Battle deaths on the American side totaled fewer than 5,000"1. However, the war proved that the thirteen colonies were capable of defeating the powerful Great Britain. Over the years there were many Hollywood films made based on the revolutionary war, 1776, Revolution, Johnny Tremain, and The Patriot. But, no movie has stirred up as much controversy as the Mel Gibbson movie The Patriot. The patriot is very entertaining but it is historically inaccurate. Too much Hollywood "spices" was added to the movie for viewing pleasures.…
The variety of films mentioned aims to provide an extensive inquiry into both modern and traditional films. To substantiate this inquiry, an article by Paste Magazine has been supplemented, containing some of the most well-known and endorsed films of the 21st century. The logic behind including an article of this nature is to examine mainstream/dominant culture as it communicates the disposition and context of…

The mainline Chinese movie market is enormous (18 studios supply 140 films a year, attracting 25 billion admissions), but a deliberate effort to produce world-class cinema is being made mostly at Xi'an (rhymes with "shan").…
Sequels, reboots, and remakes are slowly ruining Hollywood. The increased flow of such films is caused by high overall monetary earnings, success in foreign countries, and a lack of new and creative ideas. The fact that sometimes remakes are successful is clearly shown with the remake of the Karate Kid in 2010. According to MTV News, during Karate Kid´s opening weekend, ¨(the movie) kicked its way to a first-place trophy worth $56 million, surpassing the movie's production budget by more than $15 million.¨ The remake sector of the film industry is seen as a safe move to play on the loyalty of an already established fanbase. Hollywood can be fairly confident that these films will draw crowds. Although some remakes become more classic and well…
These movies influence the susceptible youth and the Americans slide in subtle, but powerful messages to make the public think or act a certain way. In 2015, Canada’s top movies were put into a list with the top movie called Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. Which only made $5 million worldwide. Meanwhile, the Avengers: Infinity War made $250 million only in North America. The difference is clear; the States rule the movie industry.…
Analyse the relationship between African American Cinema and Hollywood exploring the effect on ethnic representation in 2 key films…
Over the course of approximately one-hundred years there has been a discernible metamorphosis within the realm of African-American cinema. African-Americans have overcome the heavy weight of oppression in forms such as of politics, citizenship and most importantly equal human rights. One of the most evident forms that were withheld from African-Americans came in the structure of the performing arts; specifically film. The common population did not allow blacks to drink from the same water fountain let alone share the same television waves or stage. But over time the strength of the expectant black actors and actresses overwhelmed the majority force to stop blacks from appearing on film. For the longest time the performing arts were the only way for African-Americans to express the deep pain that the white population placed in front of them. Singing, dancing and acting took many African-Americans to a place that no oppressor could reach; considering the exploitation of their character during the 1930 's-1960 's acting ' was an essential technique to African American survival.…
A further look at the statistics provided by the UK Film Council for 2004 shows that last year domestic production fell from 44 films to 27, where domestic is taken to be films made by a UK production company shot wholly or partly in the UK.
