13 Sins: Film Analysis
Film Review

The movie I am reviewing is 13 sins. 13 sins is a horror movie and was released on April 14th 2014 in the USA. I was directed by Daniel Stamm, Mark Webber ( as the main character), Devon Graye, Tom Bower, Rutina Wesley, Ron Perlman and more. There are no big A-list actor/actresses. It is placed in present time, and placed in a city.

The movie starts with Elliot Brindle ( Played by Mark Webber.) loses his job with debt and his brother Micheal ( Devon Graye ), who is mentally handicapped, Shelby ( Rutina Wesley ) his pregnant fiancee, and his abusive father that is unnamed. Elliot gets a call from a random number that says, if he kills a fly that he will get $1000 directly sent to his bank account after he finishes the challenge.

    The Passion of the Christ directed by Mel Gibson depicts the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. This Movie is hardly a historical documentary. It was designed to bring to life the vivid nature and magnitude of Jesus’s sacrifice, although theologically it was quite accurate, it does contain some historical discrepancies. This movie was accurate in its cinematic portrayal of the attitude and actions of Pilate, the Jewish hierarchy, the Jewish laws, and Jesus’s sacrifice. Almost all of the characters in this movie are theologically accurate, like the Jesus of Nazareth, His Mother Mary, His Apostles, Mary Magdalene, Pilate and his wife and etc.,…

    Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker could have never imagined her movie winning six academy awards. While the opinion from the audience played a role in these winnings, the technical aspect of the movie all the way down to the first shot of the movie, played the biggest role in this achievement. Bigelow used things such as moving camera shots, camera angles, lighting, and the use of long shots to create a realistic feel throughout the movie.…

    Twelve angry men is a 1957 American Film that originated from a play of Reginald Rose and has been directed to a film by Sidney Lumet. The movie is not just about the outcome of the trial of a Puerto Rican youth who has been accused of murdering his father, but also shows how the beliefs and attitudes of the twelve jurors lead to his acquittal. Aside from that, this movie also shows Leadership traits that can help every individual on developing their leadership capabilities. The story started when the twelve jurors were put together in a sweltering deliberation room somewhere in America where they have been asked for their verdicts whether to put the child on chair or not. Eleven of them unanimously voted that the youth is guilty and must be…

    The expectation is that our audience (X,Y) would think about the moments and situations that they were living by the time they watched the movie. Dirty Dancing will come alive again, and this is a movie that according to Tzioumakis (2013) has had “a continuing existence of an audience in the years following its success in theaters” (p.4). So, this loyal audience will revive their past and they will give a new significance to the remake. In fact they will create new memories. Is like when you read a book and then you watch the movie version of that book. So, you give a new significance to the story and that is why the people that saw the first one will enjoy the remake.…

    The Mission was released in 1986 by producers Fernando Ghia and David Puttnam assisted by director Roland Joffé. Some of the actors consisted of Robert De Niro as Rodrigo Mendoza, the main protagonist, and Jeremy Irons as Father Gabriel. The movie, as a whole, I enjoyed very much. The character development in the beginning caught my attention and didn’t leave me constantly drifting off as other films might have. In the movie, Jesuit missionaries are trying to protect a native tribe they had converted to Christianity from Portugal who wanted to enslave the natives for their own use. Rodrigo Mendoza had to go through trials before he accepted his position as a Jesuit priest after he was given the choice by Father Gabriel…

    Exodus Movie Analysis

    I believe that Ridley Scott did not accurately portray the biblical version of the Hebrew Exodus. Many things portrayed in the movie either didn’t happen in the bible or were very different than the Exodus. Some examples would be that Moses had a different personality in the movie, Moses didn’t perform the three miracles, God wasn’t a little boy, and several other things. These are a few of the problems that lead the movie away from the text.…

    13th Movie Analysis

    The documentary 13th, was an eye opening experience. It was a film in which it displayed issues of violence, crime, and race. In particular, I found it very interesting how the documentary stigmatized black men as violent individuals. How did they come up with this stigmatization? Was it based off of past historical events such as slavery and segregation? Anyone can be considered violent. Someone's race doesn’t define whether or not they are violent; it is an individual’s actions that determines whether they are considered a violent individual or not. Also, I found it very interesting how the amount of arrests increased each year due to the drug war. I didn’t realize that drugs were a huge issue in our country. I thought the biggest issue…

    After years of suffering and seeing the minorities fight this endless cycle, you wonder, if there is an end? I honestly don’t think there is ever an end to this outgoing cycle that keeps us down. As a minority, I feel we are always being targeted. We have spent the last three weeks discussing the historical, political, and theoretical foundations of our current criminal justice system. Many articles we read, and the documentary we saw includes the impact of slavery, segregation, and the war on drugs and I do agree with what Angela Davis states in the film 13th, “historically when one looks at efforts to create reforms, they inevitably lead to more repression.”…

    I had intended on going to the vigil Wednesday night (2/8) but much to my dismay, there was no vigil (or I missed it). So instead of attending a diversity event for this paper, I watched a documentary on Netflix called 13th. This film discusses the issue of racism in the United States criminal justice system; specifically relating to how the 13th amendment transformed the view of African Americans from slaves to criminals.…
