Ocean's 11 Comparison
The dashing big guns of 'Ocean's Eleven' are in their competitive forms when it comes to their production companies. Brad Pitt has admitted that both their production companies at times find themselves bidding off each other on books that they want as movie adaptations. Brad Pitt owns Plan B Productions while George Clooney has Smoke House Pictures.

An example of which is Brad's latest project 'The Big Short', an adaptation of financial journalist Michael Lewis' best-selling book which is about the financial crisis in 2007-2010. The movie is directed by Adam Mckay.

Brad told Vulture: ''In all fairness, he outbid me on 'Argo'. But, yeah, it can get competitive. We do naturally have a lot of the same tastes and interests. With 'The Big Short',

    Ocean Tide Chapter Summary

    A constant theme in the United States in the legal system is that criminals should be punished and the reasons for their crimes are rarely addressed. The Ocean Tides program is an innovative system rather than punishing juveniles it is an approach that hopes to rehabilitate adjudicated boys in Rhode Island within a year. Typically the more severe a crime is, the longer the criminal is sent away for. At the Ocean Tides program, 1 year is retrospectively the time that is used to help criminals readjust so once they complete the program their behavior will be better. The history of things begins on a dark road and that is people seek change, which for the juvenile system ultimately began in 1961.…

    Despite the many copyright infringement accusations and the recent economic recession, the Hollywood box office remains a multi-billion dollar industry.

    After Seaworld Analysis

    Aquatic and wild animals seem to be a huge contribution of our society and entertainment, but rarely we see incidents recently recalling killer whales at SeaWorld. Reading the article “After Seaworld, ‘Blackfish effect’ on circuses and zoos?” by Kelly Wallace, shows the viewpoint on the topic of the movie called “Blackfish.” The film is about Seaworld and the famous killer whale Tilikum. The history of him and his seaworld experience was introduced. He ended up killing his trainer Dawn Brancheau, and some people even blamed her for it. This is a topic that is rarely discussed in society, but it seems as if people have a misunderstanding or don't know enough about it to have an opinion. The shocking news, is that this is not the first time…

    Comparison (Kite Runner and East of Eden)

    William Hall once said, “People have a lot in common with one another, whether they see that or not.” This fact was made evident through reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni and East of Eden by John Steinbeck, two novels about the lives of people thousands of miles apart but take on the similar challenges and try to lead decent and fulfilling lives. There were minute differences between the novels, but for the most part the books were very similar. Through analyzing themes, motifs and symbols within these novels, one cannot help but recognize the cords that unite humankind and defy all boundaries.…

    Big Fish Film-Book Comparison

    For the past few weeks, I have analyzed the storytelling style of the book and film Big Fish. The biggest difference I noticed was that I thought that the book focused more on the telling of Edwards inane stories, while the film was mostly centered around character development and relationships. I also think that while the book was very euphoric and felt like a children’s bedtime story, the film took a much more mystical and mysterious route, where a childish feel was dormant. Lastly, I thought that in the book the author just threw all the stories together and told them sporadically, but the film it followed more of a storyline and had order. Although the book seemed to have been written for a child, nevertheless the film was portrayed in a much more dark, mysterious manner due to the mood and other components.…

    Postmodern Film Analysis

    A film like The Mist (2007) comes as a prime example of being a postmodern film in the disaster movie cycle. Postmodern films attempt to avoid metanarrtive’s or narratives/stories that enforce old ideas we have seen in to many movies to count, postmodern films want to be inclusive and unique. Throughout the entire film there are many different examples of postmodern ideas, but the big three examples include the diverse cast of characters, the dark examination of religion and the films ending.…

    The Big Short Analysis

    The name Adam McKay is immediately associated to Will Ferrell and the comedy genre, fruit of their previous collaborations in “Anchorman”, “Step Brothers”, and “The Other Guys”, which also adds a fair amount of action and stunts. With “The Big Short”, a terrific adaptation of Michael Lewis’ bestselling novel of the same name, there’s a big turn in the approach and genre. There’s no more Will Ferrell, but there are Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt – how about that? And more! Even based on true events, Mr. McKay doesn’t dispense some utterly laughable scenes and a punchy dialogue that immerse us into the Wall Street schemes related to the housing and credit bubble during the 2000’s, which culminated in the 2008 financial crisis, regarded as the worst since the Great Depression. The plot is focused…

    Business Organization: Joint Stock Company

    Another example is the new TV show, ‘Shark Tank’, where wealthy investors will give small business owners a chance to pitch a deal to them. The owner will ask for a certain amount of investment in order to grow their company, in return a share of the profits with the investor from their business. This is an interesting show to watch, because it kind of gives a more personal feel to the stock market, and insight as to how investors think and view businesses to decide on whether or not they would be a profitable investment.…
