Attack Of The Carpet People Analysis
I've own this film for quite some time, like years and only not got around to watching it. Was it worth the wait? Kind of. It was cute film, though I find most horror films from the 1950's to be cute. Though it does have considerable charm, Attack of the Puppet People isn't without it faults. I also have to admit that I was a little upset about the title of films, since never once do they actually attack. Anything.
Attack of the Puppet People opens with a group of Brownies visiting Mr. Franz (John Hoyt), the owner and operator of a doll factory. One of the girls shows interest in a group of very life-like dolls in special canisters, but is warned to not touch them as they are Mr. Franz's favorites and he's very particular about them. We then jump forward to Sally Reynolds (June Kenney) coming to the factory, Dolls Inc to see Dr. Franz over an ad he placed for a new secretary after his last secretary left for a better job. She is quickly off put by Dr. Franz and his strange mannerisms. But, before she can leave he manages to change her mind. After a few weeks, Bob Westley (John Agar) a salesman comes to see Mr. Franz and gets off to a rocky start with Sally. Though over time the two develop feelings for one another. One day a letter comes for Mr. Franz's former secretary, Mr. Franz tells the mailman that he'll deliver it to her. Though a few days later Sally finds the letter in the Mr. Franz's waste bin torn up. Later at a on a date at the drive-in seeing The Amazing Colossal Man, Bob tells Sally how he feels and asks her to marry him. She agrees as she feels the same

I enjoyed, but I'm not really seeing the how it's attained the cult following that it has. It might have to do with its historical value with the Watergate scandal. As the look out was to engrossed in this film to notice anything leading to those involved getting caught. Though that withstanding, Attack the Puppet People does posses considerable

    In Shira Feder’s article, “Slamming the Door: An Analysis of Elsa(Frozen)”, the author focuses on Elsa’s impact on the traditional Disney princess outlook. Moreover, the author attributes this change to the new look and factors of her character, in the perspective of a feministic view. In addition, she briefly touches on her humanity and relate-ability to the audience as a factor. This aspect should have been discussed further and made the center of Feder’s critique, because it plays a crucial role throughout the entirety of the movie.…

    I think this movie is a classic masterpiece or example of Anti-war. It shows how war takes everything away from you especially your humanity. This movie was banned for about 4-5 years after its release because of its in-depth effect on people due to the war. In this movie we get a young German group (who haven’t even passed out of College yet) who have been recruited in the name of idealism. With much passion and fire their school master, made their blood boil with the desire to go out and fight. Victory, status, medals, doing something for your country ran through the blood in their veins, this is why they decided to enlist.…

    I enjoyed watching all three segments of the 1950s documentary. So much more happened in the 50s besides what you see in Grease or Happy Days. There were fast cars and poodle skirts, but there was also war and polio. I did not know much about the disease polio. I had heard of the iron lung, but I did not know it was used to treat polio. I liked the music that went along with the video. I think it is fun to listen to how music changes over time, especially when comparing it by decade.…

    The Boondock Saints

    This movie was really eye opening, while I don't claim to really understand the mentality of why communists were so vilified, the way such innocent seeming people were treated is deplorable. This movie makes me think of a quote from the movie The Boondock Saints, "But, there is another kind of evil which we must fear most … and that is the indifference of good men!" Many times it seems that people are allowed to get away with misdeeds simply because enough people did not stand up against them. In the movie, it seems that people are either too scared to stand up against the blacklisting for fear of being blacklisted themselves or they have already been blacklisted, thus their opinion is irrelevant, as they are seen as traitors.…

    The Manchurian Candidate showed me how corrupt a government can actually be, and how as Americans we are all brainwashed to a certain extent. Soldiers were taken an manipulated and use to carry out government actions that were deemed necessary to rid society of communism and people who believed in it. This makes the viewer wonder about government corruption, and serious of events that have occurred from 1989-2016, and conspiracy theories that seem to plague the internet. The people that we appoint in higher positions have secret agenda and go about with manipulatives ways to control their citizens.…

    Letters Home from Vietnam

    • 338 Words

    The powerful emotions triggered through watching this film can be acknowledged without question. What I found the most interesting was the use of real news footage from that time period that aired on major news networks, swaying people’s opinions about our justification for being in Vietnam. Being able to view that gave me a 1st hand look into soldiers’ opinions of the war as well as protests and how they differed then. The actors reading the leaders with pure emotion and feeling in order to accurately portray how much these soldiers put into these letters was remarkable because I felt as though I was experiencing that time period as if it were real and the soldiers were scrambling to write as I watched on. The stories they depicted throughout their words definitely provided for a flurry of reactions. I wanted to be happy for those men honored for combat, living through the horrors of hell, and seeing the relief on their faces when being honorably discharged and sent home. I was equally and oppositely somber, however, for those men’s lives stolen in combat, for those permanently crippled and bitter, to hear of the unspeakable horrors awaiting prisoners of war, as well as letters from optimistic soldiers killed in action shortly after. Another thing I found effectively executed by this film was the specific numbers given. They showed the variation in the number of soldiers deployed to Vietnam over the course of the war, as well as the rising KIA numbers and wounded in combat. A gruesome part of this war as well was the thick jungle that the soldiers had to navigate through blindly until ambushed by the Vietcong, and I thought the film did an excellent job of revealing that to the public. One of the most powerful moments of the film was when a soldier, grieving over his superior officer exclaimed that “he’ll be given a silver star, and somehow that is supposed to suffice for his life being…

    I looked up some reviews on the movie this weekend and saw that in some way it distorted history. Those people who said that weren’t alive when all of this happened so how would they know what happened or didn’t happen. I don’t know why people would dislike this movie, in my eyes it is one of the best historical movies I have ever seen. Also I was not alive when this happened either but I believe that these actions showed were true.…

    There are many parallels that can be found between Henrik Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. Both follow respected men who go against authority and majority opinion to save the lives of the people around them. These productions are iconic in their field, but it is not because of their story but because of their message: Tyranny of the Majority and Dangers of Ignorance. In An Enemy of the People there is pollution in the water, in Jaws, Spielberg chooses to poison the water with sharks. Before the realization of the poisons in the water, both of their jobs had been relatively calm and nothing tragic had happened in either towns. In both of these works there is political satire that caused the immediate hatred of both productions, now they are regarded as ingenious pieces…

    The Conspirator

    What I found interesting about this film is that, surprisingly enough, it covered something I was not actually familiar with, because for some odd reason, this part of Civil War and post-Civil War history was never something any of my teachers or professors ever felt the need to bring to students’ attentions. This film had three historical consultants, and it shows. The dialogue, costumes, and sets are top notch. There are still some liberties and inaccuracies of course, but the film is more competent in its goal for accuracy than it could have been. Being that Robert Redford directed this, it is a well-balanced film that is never one sided or thinly sketched. Also thanks to him, it tries to do more than just capture a certain historical event, as can be seen as a condemnation of current military tribunals against Islamic terrorists.…

    I believe the film was of great educational value because it presented the judicial system in a very accurate form. The movie did not give the judicial system 100% foolproof credibility which I believe is important. The law system of the United States is like that of any other nation. It has room for error. It was created by humanity and just like it's creator it can have imperfections. These possible imperfections are shown in the movie when the…
