Ultraman
Ultraman is actually a television phenomenon, since it was introduced as a recurring character on the Ultra Q TV series in 1966, and was initially intended as a parody of Superman. Eiji Tsuburaya was the one that created him. Currently, it is a huge franchise that has spawned 29 TV series and 25 films, along with anime series, video games.
This particular film is actually a parody Ultraman, with the new hero wearing a red mask and having issues with his hygiene. His goal however, is always the same: to save the world. Currently, he works in a gas station although he is a secret agent of the Universal Military Association. His main enemy is Alien Benzene, who sends his monster Cottenpoppe, to steal gold from Earth, as it is the only medicine for his chronic disease.
The film is as silly as it sounds, a notion though, that is

However, as soon as they reach the wall, the Titans reappear, demolishing the outer wall and spreading havoc once again among the citizens. During the attack, Mikasa is separated from the others. The script subsequently moves forward to a few months later, where Eren and Armin have joined the military, training to face the Titans.
Unfortunately, Shinji Huguchi directed a dull film with uninspired characters, only making an effort in the last half hour of its duration. The protagonists, Haruma Miura and Kiko Mizuhara in the roles of Eren and Mikasa respectively, add to that sense, appearing in order to impress with their looks rather with their acting, a practice common among idols. Due to the general mediocrity, even actors like Jun Kunimura and Pierre Taki fail to deliver their usual standards.
On the other hand, the design and the general depiction of the Titans are quite skillful, with Nishimura doing an excellent job on them. Additionally the last part of the film is quite impressive, though not enough to cause one to forget the

    While lying on the grass in the front yard, I imagined the exciting night ahead. Before long, Taylor and his girlfriend, Kara, arrived and picked me up. Almost immediately, I stood up and sauntered in my Duke sweatshirt and basketball shorts over to their car. I jumped into the backseat. Immediately, I was assaulted with the strong smell of perfume that had been sprayed inside the car because it belonged to Kara. Tonight instead of driving, she decided to let Taylor drive illegally without a license. As we drove off to Erik’s house, the rendezvous for tonight’s “Goatman” adventure, we saw a police officer had just pulled a car over. As we drove by, we breathe easier and relaxed because we didn’t see any more cops on the way.…

    The director represents characters empathetically, manipulating audiences to perceive critical dilemmas favourably and agree with the decisions of the characters. These techniques are also used to capture the oppression of the black community and position audiences to understand these issues. The usage of cinematic and literary devices such as metaphor, plot, characterisation, camera angles and shots, audiences come to acknowledge racial conflict. Finally, through this emotionally moving cinematography, ‘Remember the Titans’ shapes how society experiences moral issues and reacts to the dilemmas that stem forth from…

    Throughout the film’s three alternative versions of events, It poses deeper existential philosophical questions that challenge the audience’s perceptions of coincidences of relationships and the post-modern societal values of relationships. An example is the protagonist Lola and her boyfriend Manni’s relationships. The post-modern relationship value that they behold has been effectively conveyed throughout the film with the use of numerous distinctively film techniques. In commencement, the incorporations of several distinctive visual motifs are presented in order to convey the nature of Lola and Manni’s constantly changing relationship. The motif of Lola’s scream emphasises danger, fear and pain. The audience envisions Lola in full zoom “screaming”. The zoom effect magnifies her emotion and draws the attention to her red hair. The red motif evokes associations with love, passion, danger, blood and even death. The association of these motifs highlights Lola’s determination and energy in wanting to save her troubled boyfriend.

    In a year of emotionally empty films, pointless overdone special effects, and mindless poorly written scripts, Remember the Titans is a shockingly intelligent, emotional movie. Noticeably absent is the excess overdone glitter and glam so prevalent in big release films, also missing is the Walt Disney tendency to tone down films and muddy their message to make their content more "user friendly." Yes, Remember the Titans is a PG movie, but it deals with rated R issues in a way that deeply involves the viewer.…

    Over a period of time, specific audiences construct expectations of different types of media, related to either what they have been told, or perhaps what the media have exposed them to in the past. Indeed, it could be argued that the success of a film to a large degree, rests on whether or not such expectations are met, surpassed, else the audience successfully surprised. Certainly, such expectations have to be addressed by the film, if it is to be considered satisfying for the audience, and in this way, elements within the film, such as character representations, the narrative and cinematography are all important components which allow this to be achieved. Additionally, the social and political context in which the film is being viewed must be considered, as it is against this background that their expectations will have been formed.…

    In 1953, the United States government began a top-secret CIA human experimentation program known by its code-name as Project MK-ULTRA. The available evidence shows that this program involved the use of numerous techniques to manipulate individual mental states and alter brain functions, including: the deceitful administration of drugs and other chemicals, isolation, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture. Kathleen Sullivan was a victim of this heinous program and she recounts the torment she endured in a poem. “Pain, isolation, deprivation. Torture, training, total isolation. In a dark, not black, soundless box made of metal. [He] poured his pain into me [via electrical torture]. I became the repository for his pain. Pain kills. I was alone in that box, no one to talk to, no one who cared. NO ONE. He was master of horrors. He cut the kitten open alive starting with its sweet tender stomach. It trusted him. It trusted him and he killed it. He said he was teaching me not to care. Then he put me in the box too small to stand in. I had to sit in it. One side open.…

    ‘Clash of the Titans,’ an ancient Greek myth, has similarities and differences in both the story and in the film adaptation. In the classic Greek tale, King Acrisius, fearful of his imminent death, threw Perseus, son of Zeus, and his mother, Danae, into the ocean; a fisherman named Dictys rescued both, with the help of Zeus. Later, Perseus must battle Medusa and the Ketos to save Danae, from yet another king, King Polydectes, and Princess Andromeda, respectively. Perseus, in the movie version, must defeat giant scorpions, Medusa, and the Kraken, all to save the citizens of Greece from the wrath of Hades, god of the underworld.…
