Close Encounters of Third Kind
Close Encounters of the Third Kind Close Encounters of the Third Kind was written and directed by Steven Spielberg. The story first starts off with a group of scientist that discover a bunch of perfect condition fighter planes in the desert that went missing in 1945. After that, a couple of commercial flights reported seeing a strange bright light, that they could not describe to ATC in Indiana. Widespread power outage hits Indiana and an electrical lineman, Roy Neary had an encounter with a UFO while driving. He chases the UFO’s until he runs out of road. While this is going on, a little boy named Barry follows the UFO’s out of his house after all his toys started turning on by themselves. His mother Gillian chases after him until she finally catches him before almost getting hit by Roy in his truck. Roy becomes obsessed with a mountain type image in his mind after his encounter with the UFO’s. Gillian also has the same image in her mind. Back with the scientists, they discover that witnesses hear 5 tone musical pattern around the UFO’s. David Laughlin, one of the scientist, figures out a signal from outer space was a set of geographical coordinates and time. The coordinates point to Devil’s Tower Monument, in Wyoming. Both the scientist and the regular people who encountered the UFO’s before, converge at this spot. The UFO mother ship lands and hundreds of people who went missing came out, including the missing plane pilots and Barry. Roy boards the UFO mother ship and is taken off. Close Encounters of the Third Kind has two main groups of people: the scientist and regular Americans who come together at the very end of the Film. In the film, Steven Spielberg, uses theses two groups to help tell the story. The first group of people, Spielberg uses, are the Scientist. Claude Lacombe is a Frenchman scientist who is in charge of the research of the UFO’s. The other important scientist is David Laughlin, who is assistant to Lacombe and his translator. These

    Imitation of Life can indubitably be considered one of the most moving and influential films ever produced in American cinema history. Based on the 1933 novel by Fannie Hurst, the movie is directed by John Stahl and stars actresses Claudette Colbert and Louise Beavers; it depicts the story of two widows, one black and one white, who meet, become friends, and work together to obtain their piece of the American dream for their daughters and themselves (Flitterman-Lewis, 325). The two women’s success is countered by despair that is ultimately the result of their daughters’ actions. One mother looses the man that she loves when she realized that her daughter has become her rival for his affection, while the other is heartbroken by the hostility and ultimate rejection that her daughter displaces onto her as she attempts to cross the color line (Bougle, 57-59).…

    As many critics say, Minority Report is one of the movies that has a very realistic vision upon future. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Minority Report is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick. It’s a neo-noir science fiction movie and was officially released on June, 2002. The action in the movie happens in 2054, in Washington D.C and in Northern Virginia. An elite squad that enforces law named “PreCrime”, eliminates crime virtually from Washington D.C. The whole story revolves around John Anderton, captain of “PreCrime”. With the help of three gifted humans called “precogs”, the squad manages to stop crimes before they take place. But the system seems to make an error, when it shows that John Anderton will commit a murder in the next 36 hours. So a “manhunt” begins, a “manhunt” of himself, as Anderton is determined to prove that the system is wrong and to find out the truth. He also believes that one of the “precogs” predictions’, namely Agatha’s, will help him find the truth of this “minority report”.…
