Gary Cooper: Film Analysis
1.I believe what makes this film so great is the plot of the film combined with the actors ability to give life to the story. Gary Cooper who plays Kane in the film, is an upstanding and ethically good man. Since he demonstrates these characteristics in the film, he makes a believable Marshall. Another reason why this film is so great, is because of the hero premise. I believe this causes the "unsung hero" to resonate with the audience's feelings. This is shown at the very end of the film after the Marshall had confronted the criminals. Even though Kane had stopped Miller, no one in the town cheers or celebrates. They kinda of just accept it as it is and just move on without giving their thanks to the Marshall.

2.One of the cliches seen

    There are many similarities and many differences, but one stands out more than the others. The similarity that stands out the most was the ballerinas performing on live television, as the text shows, “On the television screen were ballerinas” page 1, last sentence. This is the most pronounced similarity because if the show was not rolling live, Harrison would not have had the chance to go on stage and show the audience and everyone that was watching television that he was breaking free of his handicaps, thus breaking free of the governments’ chains on him. He also did this because he knew that his parents would be watching, so they would know he was free, but then he was cut short, as he became peppered with bullet holes and was killed by the Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers, who used a shotgun to shoot him. The director kept this in the movie because there would have been no other way for Harrison to show that he was breaking free. Perhaps he could have used the radio, but you would not be able to see or feel the emotion flowing…

    In the 1950’s film Rear Window, director Alfred Hitchcock sets his entire work looking through a man, L.B. Jeffries’ rear window. Because of his broken leg, Jeffries is confined to his apartment, and even to his wheelchair. It is here, in his apartment, that the protagonist watches, or even spies on his neighbors. He draws conclusions on these people, but from a distance: across the apartment-building courtyard. In addition to this physical distance separating Jeffries from his neighbors, his perspective, too, distances him from his conclusions. Only seen through the glass of a window and the lens of a camera, Jeffries’ point of view is confined to only a single vision. We see that this single vision, however, provides Jeffries with an ample amount of information. The avant-garde cinematography combined with the original plot creates a new mean to film. Alfred Hitchcock’s innovative Rear Window allows the audience to bring their own experiences to the film: just as Jeffries draws conclusions on his neighbors from a distance, man too establishes his own perspective in the real world, and brings this experience to the film to understand its meaning.…

Many of his films are based in New York which are most of the time films that are gritty and about the darker side of urban life where he focuses his vision to the city’s neighborhoods, especially Lower Manhattan and Little Italy. Scorsese has a talent of showing precise and sometimes personal representation of the people and the streets of these neighborhoods. Most of his films have this bond to the city presenting accurate maps of specific parts of the city.…

    Only a few hours after the shooting took place, James Stephens identified Brenton Butler as the suspect. During one of the scenes in the documentary his testimony relevant to the identification was shown. As the police were walking Butler towards the crime scene, James Stephens was somehow able to confirm that he was the shooter from fifty feet away. He was then allowed to sit in the back of a patrol car next to Butler to confirm that he was in fact correct. This situation is called a showup. Because of the inherent suggestiveness of a showup, this was the one of the factors that lead to a misidentification. Another factor was the lack of sequential lineups performed by the police department. There are inherent benefits to showup identifications, but there are also limitations. The burden was on the detectives to run James Stephens through at least one more lineup. A systematic lineup, either as a…

    Hamilton Movie Analysis

    There is a vast array of things that I have learned through watching this film; from the writing, production, casting, and ultimately making it to Broadway let alone succeeding on Broadway. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s idea for creating Hamilton stems from an autobiography he read about Alexander Hamilton while on vacation. Flash forward to 2009, Miranda sings only one song that has been written for Hamilton when performing at the White House. Motivation and the creative mind do not always go hand in hand when trying to create a musical, which Miranda found out the hard way. After two-years of writing for Hamilton, Miranda had composed two songs, so with the use of a periodic deadlines, the music was crafted and ultimately the play had gone onto production. The production process of making a musical was interesting to me from a business analytical perspective because for most musicals it is difficult to make it but even more difficult to stay. With Hamilton, there might have been a nervous fear that no one would want to see the musical, however the musical is sold out every time they release tickets to the public.…

    Are you familiar with the ugly crying face Tobey Maguire had when he found Uncle Ben on the ground in the first spider man movie? As I was reading the end of the story, it was the exact same crying face I had on. Overall, I really enjoyed this story. Even though Philbert’s experience was painful, I liked how open he was with his feelings. I think anyone who has a pet can really empathize with him. After reading chapter 15, I was able to identify a few components that it talked about. The first component of a narrative that I was able to identify is the author’s use of flashbacks. Philbert tells the events that lead up to putting George down, and I noticed two times where he used flashbacks. The author reminisced the times when George would…

    04 October 2000 Almost Famous: Essay on Entertainment Criticism A rolling stone gathers no moss. If Cameron Crowe is to be believed, a 15-year-old Rolling Stone writer will gather all kinds of things. Not the least of which are life experience, sexual exploits, and rock and roll insights. Almost Famous is Crowe 's semi-autobiographical account of a young man taking the fast lane to adulthood on the tour bus with a rising rock and roll band. The critics are almost unanimous in their praise of this peek at the backstage machinations of the 1970 's rock music scene. The critics feel that Cameron Crowe 's script and direction, combined with breakout performances from Kate Hudson and Patrick Fugit in major roles, and enhanced by the scintillating…
