In particular‚ the muted‚ even dark‚ lighting of the movie helped to encapsulate the grave and haunting feel that was present throughout the whole novel. During the independent film‚ it was unmistakable that the events that were about to unfold on the screen were going to be heavy. Even the camera angles allowed for the film to give the viewer a raw and obtainable experience. Also‚ to connect the picture back to the novel from which it originated‚ the set of the houses and town were identical to how

The Bulldog of Bergen Cinderella Man‚ a film made in 2005 starting Russell Crowe and directed by Ron Howard‚ conveys an important life lesson‚ an incredibly accurate representation of the outstanding comeback of one man‚ all while being a story others are able to relate with. It is clear to see that Crowe put a lot of emotion and time into creating this story for viewers‚ which makes the movie easy to compare with the book My Antonia written by Willa Cather. The movie‚ based on a boxer named James

We know Penny best from her stint in Laverne and Shirley (1976-1983) as the hilarious Laverne De Fazio. After the series was cancelled Laverne appeared in some pictures until her directorial debut in "Jumpin’ Jack Flash". This film was pretty much a bomb and Penny gained credibility as a director in

Each of the twenty-six films all have their own themes and titles‚ however while having different themes‚ death can be found as the strong point in each movie. As the entire movie goes on each death relates to a letter of the alphabet for instance‚ D as in Dog Fight. This film really stood out with a huge religious theme which would be faith.

In order to fully understand the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict‚ the history of the land must be discussed. According to James Gelvin‚ in the book The Modern Middle East‚ the Palestine-Israel dispute “is‚ simply put‚ a real estate dispute” (Gelvin 217). Both the Zionist‚ Jewish immigrants‚ and the Palestinian Arabs demand the Palestinian land. Prior to the United Nations vote on Palestine (the land)‚ “a civil war broke out between the two communities” (224). Zionism gave a religious community

The focus on the eyes of the victim is present here as it has been in many works that memorialize genocide. In a particular scene from Peck’s film after Tutsi or Moderate Hutus were lined up by the Interahamwe to be executed‚ each person’s face was focused on‚ their eyes boring into the camera lens at us. Through film it quickly becomes easier to establish connections to the people portrayed. It is slightly harder to do this than through literature‚ which is not to say that it

In the film ‘The Last of The Mohicans’ directed by Michael Mann‚ an important idea that was shown throughout the film is loss of innocence. Loss of innocence is something that often involves a new understanding of the nature of humanity and its potential for good or evil. Cora is a character that portrays this theme well. The director uses close ups‚ medium shots and point of view shots to capture Cora evolving into a strong and courageous woman. In the beginning of the film Cora is shown as a reserved

dual-protagonist film based on the novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption by world-famous author Stephen King. It certainly falls under the genre of Drama‚ as it is a story of hope and‚ namely‚ redemption. Andrew "Andy" Dufresne‚ a New England banker‚ is wrongly imprisoned after being convicted for the murders of his wife and her lover‚ based largely on evidence that doesn’t exist‚ and is sent to Shawshank State Penitentiary in Maine for two life sentences‚ the inciting incident of the film.

propaganda films played in the building and maintenance of power before and after Hitler took power. But the thing that I find most interesting about the Frankfurt School is their focus not just in the explicit propaganda films‚ but also the popular blockbusters and crowd pleasers of Weimar era Germany. These films seem escapist and apolitical‚ especially compared to the propaganda films‚ but I think it is important to look at what‚ despite their seemingly apolitical nature‚ these films say about

past‚ present‚ and future is what and who defines our ideal. The American dream may seem like a foregone concept in this day and age‚ but the various different characteristics that comprise this ideal or myth are still alive and well. Many of our films portrayed this myth‚ and have led me to a conclusion on what I call the Spirit of America. The Spirit of America is an unyielding and powerful force that has a high standard of self and others‚ but knows when to be emotional and empathetic. The Spirit
