Usually when talking about a movie or a book, it hard to discuss the similarities and the differences. Because sometimes a movie can be more influencing than a book and vice versa. When I first started reading the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I was confused at first but then as I kept reading, I realized how things can go a certain way and how one person can make a change in the whole world without even meaning to. Personally, what I…
Both films illustration the life, death and transformation of Alex J. Murphy a police officer assigned to the inner city of Detroit. Volunteering for an experimental program designed to use the remains of slain police to build animatronic law enforcement droids. Stationed in the worst police district in Detroit, our protagonist has to struggle with the question if he is still in fact a man or a machine? In doing so he is faced with the fact that the corporation the created him is out to have him destroyed. These movies were filmed at two very distanced times in our society yet they still are an accurate reflection of our geopolitical…
Another aspect that both movies have in common is that they are much more true when it comes to showing the reality of African Americans in the 50s and 60s. The scenes where the journalist travels through hitchhiking are very intense because they show the attitude of white men towards black men, their perverse fascination over the subject of Afro American men lust after “their” women. It unmistakably pictures how they…
The 2019 post- apocalyptic setting of down- town Los Angeles is a frightening vision of the future in itself; dark, decaying and polluted. However the deterioration of earth is further highlighted by the constant darkness that imposes the bustling streets, perpetual downpour of acid rain and the bombardment of technology such as neon advertising and projected announcements from off-shore colonies. This hauntingly unnatural image of the future depicted in the opening scene of the film, leaves much to the imagination of the audience, impressing a deep fear of what could be.…
Using the juxtaposition of images and sounds, Moore has created a montage of images, to show what kind of "flawless" society America really is. At the same time, the song "What a wonderful World" plays, while the scene changes into a montage of images involving heavy gun violence, shootings and military forces in other nations. The song is a large contradiction to the images of violence and destruction. The major impact of irony takes place in the last scene, when the footage of the 9/11 attack is shown while the song continues to play and hits climax. This technique of juxtaposing images and music attracts the audience's attention, and clearly shows us that we are not really living in a "wonderful…

In conclusion, the two movies are different and similar in many ways. In all reality, both movies have their strong and weak points. While the newer movie is strong in supporting detail, the newer movie is strong in giving the fewer the feel of the movie. The older generation may like the older version and the younger generation can like the newer version better. Both are impressive movie and has some life lessons within each…
The distinction between the time-periods and their settings in the two films is significant, while it is also the…
Ogden Marsh, Iowa was once the friendliest place on Earth. Until one day the “American Dream” changed into the “American Disaster” within a blink of an eye. The American scientific horror film, “The Crazies”, portrayed this disastrous apocalyptic event. The apocalypse is any universal or widespread destruction or disaster. Every apocalyptic event contains narrative elements which can be profoundly disruptive, chaotic, and uncontrollable. I believe the motion picture, “The Crazies” consist of these narrative elements.…

The setting is the most prominent commonality between the novel and the film. The physical setting of the circus and the hardships that accompany this lifestyle are realities in both stories. Traveling with the circus in these Depression era stories created a strong mood of desperation and conflict. Hunter and Green’s traveling circus of sideshow “Freaks” in Ghost Boy and the Benzini brothers band of sickly animals and brutal owner who terrorizes them, present circus life in both stories a a challenging one. This was an unforgiving environment offering no escape from the circumstances of circus life in these stories.…
