Movie Report: Extreme Measures
This film "Extreme Measures" enables us, the viewers, to regard another side in medical issues today; in which humans are being treated as lab rats against their own will, in the name of science. It talks about a young British doctor named Dr. Guy Luthar, who is at the beginning of a great long term career with the Gramercy hospital in New York. The movie begins with two homeless men running for their lives from some unknown entity, one of which ends up at Gramercy hospital under the treatment of Dr. Guy Luthar. We manage to find out three aspects about him, before he dies in a horrific manner, one of which is his name, Claude Minkins, and that the man who had saved his life was called Teddy Dolsen (who was the other man we saw at the start of the movie running for his life). Dr Luthar also finds silver wrist bands, which are used in hospitals; therefore, he was being treated at a hospital before he ended up at Gramency. We also hear him tell Dr Luthan that he was at "Triphase". Dr. Luthan was unable to find out the reason why Claude had died , thus he decides to send Claude's body for inspection, in hope to find out what had really taken place, but later finds out that all of Claude's records had disappeared into thin air along with Claude's body. This leads Dr. luthan to begin investigating on his own, during this time period Dr. Luthan is being constantly trailed by two officers who manage to break into his home and frame him; as a result, Dr. Luthan looses his job. We the audience understand that another doctor in Dr. Guy Luthans field is the founder of "Triphase" which happens to be an organization that carries tests on homeless men but for an unrevealed cause. Unaware of the dangers awaiting him Dr. Luthar continues investigating the case of Clause Minkins even if it did cost him his entire career. Dr. Luthan manages to find out from one of his homeless patients that underground lays a whole other habitat where only the homeless live in. There, Dr. Luthan

    The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down Analysis

    The story is set up as a tragedy because both sides are doing what they believe is best for Lia. There isn’t a bad side or a good side, which makes it that much more difficult to comprehend. As one reads the book, there is a need to look for the black and white, when in fact, it’s all grey. That’s what makes it tragic; there’s no one to blame. Taylor, when discussing the meaning of tragedy, writes that, “the same quality…that allows us to take right action can also blind us to our own error and lead us into disaster.”(Taylor, P. 163). This is what happened with the two sides. Each one had its own idea of…

At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

    Hollywood Film Analysis

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time. In order to understand the changes that Hollywood went through the late ‘60s, you first have to examine the preceding era of Hollywood filmmaking during the 30s and 40s. This was a period that is commonly referred to as Hollywood’s Golden Age; when the dream factories were in full swing and the audiences were in regular attendance. This period of time could be defined by a number of social, political or economic contexts, but it’s the filmmaking practices that were employed at the time which…

    Twelve Angry Men

    In today’s fast-paced world we often find ourselves making hasty, split-second decisions on the seemingly unimportant matters with which we are faced. According to The Critical Thinking Handbook “...critical thinking evaluates reasons and brings thought in line with...” our best sense of what is true enabling us come to insightful conclusions on which we base our actions. In Twelve Angry Men a group of twelve ordinary citizens are faced with an important choice whose consequence is the fate of a sixteen-year-old boy accused of killing his father. Initially deemed an open-shut-case, throughout the play we witness the jurors, under the direction of Juror 8, slowly break down the evidence and testimony on which they later base their final verdict. Each juror with his unique approach to reasoning raises important arguments, suggesting both the innocence and guilt of the accused and further adding to the complexity of the case. In Twelve Angry Men, three pieces of evidence that proved crucial in shifting the jury in favor of acquittal were the murder weapon, the old man’s testimony, and that of the woman who claimed to have seen the murder from across the street.…

    Twelve Angry Men

    In the play Twelve Angry Men, Reginald Rose shows that prejudices can prevent jurors from seeing the truth. This is evident throughout the play as juror 10 blinded to the facts because prejudice clouds his judgement. However, besides prejudice, Rose also show personal bias, ignorance and a weak characteristic can take away jurors’ abilities to see the truth. For instance, juror 3’s bad relationship with his son in the past and juror7’s ignorant attitude towards the case ultimately affect their perspective about the facts and evidence presented in the case. As a result, these factors not only obscure the truth but also make it hard for the jury to reach a just verdict and threaten the credibility of the jury system.…

    Film Exploitation Film Analysis

    Exploitation films have been produced since the beginning of film, but once the Production Code was no longer in effect, more these films could be produced and at a faster rate. One genre of exploitation cinema is the drug crime film. Starting as early as the 1930s, filmmakers made movies about the dangers of doing drugs. These films were often cheaply made and aimed at a small audience (Clark 4). They were theatrically simple, with an uncomplicated narrative: “these are films whose entire function (apart from making money) is to shock and titillate” (5). These early exploitation films were interesting to audiences because of “their promise of titillation, their professed educational mission, their topicality, and their construction of a social Other” (Schaeffer 18). Viewers were able to project fears onto the “Other,” allowing the antagonist to be the scapegoat for their own problems (23). Early exploitation drug films between the 1930s and 1950s were used as anti-drug propaganda, warning of their dangers. As the Production Code was…

    Imagine having to decide a young boy’s fate who is accused of murder in the first degree. This is the case in “Twelve Angry Men”, the prize-winning drama written by Reginald Rose. Some jurors address relevant topics, while others permit their personal “judgments” from thoroughly looking at the case. After hours of deliberation, the jurors reached the decision that the boy is not guilty, due to the fact of reasonable doubt. While few jurors are motivated by their respect and determination for the justice system, Juror 10 is motivated by his personal prejudice.…

    In American History, many events are started and thrived off of mass hysteria and paranoia; two notable examples of this are the Salem Witch Trials and the reign of Senator McCarthy during the Cold War. During the colonial period of the United States, an event known as the Salem Witch Trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts. This infamous event lead to prosecution and eventual hanging of several people, some of which had been falsely accused. A similar event happened nearly 200 years later during the Cold War.

These two events were based entirely on hysteria and paranoia and affected the lives of many people in negative ways.

    The Intouchables: Film Analysis

    The films, ‘The Butler’ and ‘The Intouchables’ are representations of the ordeals that African American’s were forced to go through in the past years and the implications of such experiences to the current production of films. It is without any doubt that because of the inferior status that was given to African Americans, most films that are produced today exhibit African Americans to be of a lesser status (Toledano and Olivier 5; Ager and Aubyn 1). For example, in both of the aforementioned films, black people are conveyed as servants (Toledano and Olivier 5; Ager and Aubyn 1). To add onto this, in the film, ‘The Intouchables,’ readers are told of the actuality that Driss served a jail time for a crime that he had committed thus showing that African Americans were stereotyped as criminals by nature.…
