    The thermometer functions as an emotional barometer, representing Jeff's circumstances, although Thorwald has been caught, Jeff has survived and his relationship with Lisa is okay, it does not mean things will remain in the good condition that they are at the end of the film. If we move forward fifty-four years through the world of crime writer's to the year 2008 we discover the film "The Dark Knight" directed by Christopher Nolan. This most recent instalment of "Batman" fits appropriately into the hard-boiled sub-genre of crime-fiction. It meets many of the conventions but, like in "Rear Window", subverts several conventions to better serve the composer's purpose. As with most hard-boiled crime texts, "The Dark Knight" has a metropolitan setting. The citizens of Gotham city have grown to depend on ‘Batman' who represents safety, security and order, but when things get out of control they turn on him and demand his prosecution. Nolan uses this to communicate to his audience the human need for answers and a scapegoat to blame for the problems in their world. The detective in hard-boiled detective fiction is usually considered to be a ‘loner', this is true in "The Dark Knight", the real identity of ‘Batman', Bruce Wayne, is only known by his love interest, Rachel Dawes, a close colleague, Lucius Fox and his…

    When someone asks you what your favorite movie is, what goes through your mind? When someone asks me that question, I instantly think of specific scenes from my favorite film that induce a strong emotional response. This seems to happen when thinking about any movie I particularly like. What makes these scenes so memorable that they still emit those same emotions when just thinking about them? The answer is mise-en-scene – the visual story that is being told through setting, costumes and makeup, lighting, and staging. Bordwell and Thompson inform us, “Elements of mise-en-scene accentuate action and engage attention…Many of our most vivid memories of movies stem from mise-en-scene” (pg 112). The film Jurassic Park (1993) is a great example of how mise-en-scene can shape our experience of the film through specific components such as setting, lighting, and costuming.…

    In Napoleon Dynamite (Jared Hess, 2004), the character known as Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) is quite a unique fellow. His quirkiness and eccentricity are what make him as a character; they are the primary traits of his personality. Keep in mind, however, that he is not the only odd character in the film, but he has his own peerless way of defining himself separate from any other character(s). This effect is achieved through certain cinematic techniques that director Jared Hess utilizes in order to bring out Napoleon's persona in ways other than simply "guessing" who he really is. Rather, these techniques "explicitly imply" certain character traits; they are like clues that allow one to see the character just as the creator intended. Through mise-en-scene, sound, and acting and performance, Napoleon Dynamite emphasizes and comments on the character of Napoleon, defining his physical and social nature.…

    The film The Dark Knight Rises is very phallocentric and masculine. It also focuses on and uses gothic themes to present and challenge the fears a current age person has in today’s society. Its use of gothic themes creates a setting that helps amplify and enhance these fears. The setting has a gloomy atmosphere, urban decay. A sense of an underworld is created through dark tunnels and hidden secrets, this also gives Gotham City a labyrinthine quality. The film also uses aerial shots of the city, which emphasises the urban landscapes and how a person is very small compared to the city, and also creates a sense of isolation and builds on the sense of a labyrinth. The name Gotham City is a play on the word gothic and further plays on these themes.…

    The four fundamentals of film are mis-en-scéne, cinematography, editing and sound. The mis-en-scéne includes the setting, costumes, make-up, lighting and staging. It is defined as “the visual elements on the stage and includes depth, height, and width. Although the precise meaning of mise-en-scène with regard to film is disputed, it generally refers to what is seen in the film frames throughout the film or to what is seen in one single shot or frame.” The next element is cinematography and that is the photography, camera framing, duration, the shot, camera angle and framing. “Editing permits the filmmaker to relate any two points in space through similarity, difference, or development and therefore controls the narrative of the film by controlling the sequence of images we see.” The final element is sound in cinema it takes three forms: speech, music and noise. The sounds and their relationship to each other represent deliberate choices by the filmmaker to create a certain effect.…

    Every so often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual art that the public is drawn to this dramatic rendition of life in the theatre. For even just two hours or so, you are put into a different lifestyle. Action, drama or comedy it may be. We are thrust into a different way of thinking. We are forced to learn the characters thoughts and feelings. The hard work and artistic skill that goes into these magnificent films is not an easy thing to mimic. Out of the thousands of movies released worldwide each year only a handful are truly worthy of the label film art. Most of the great movies are either produced by a multi million dollar company that hired a director with quite a bit of experience under his belt, or are made with little money and slowly find their way into the film business due to…

    Style is a key element for any movie to be successful, and a movie that is no exception to this is Pulp Fiction. The amount of style in the movie could become a college dissertation, but I will try to give the best examples of style. This ranges from the use of doorways as a frame for the shot, to the use of 70's music as the background for this film. Overall, in my opinion, the style of Pulp Fiction is one of the main reasons the movie has been so popular for this amount of time.…

    Batman is an iconic archetypal vigilante that represents justice and darkness. On page 39 Batman is fighting a criminal and chooses to exact his own justice on him. “There are seven working defenses from this position. Three of them disarm with minimal contact. Three of them kill… The other----hurts”. This is the darker side of Batman. The part of him that relays heavily on his id and basks in the thrill of punishing criminals. Is it okay that a sadistic masked man makes these kinds of decisions? This is where we wonder if Batman is morally right or if maybe the government is right and he is a menace to a…
