The Wild Bunch: Movie Analysis
After the civil right movement, films such as Unforgiven, Posse, Silverado, and even Django Unchained paid tribute to a 1970’s Blaxploitation era. Still movies like Unforgiven, Silverado, and Posse had black leads dying, but they died in a more heroic form. The 1993 film Posse reversed the skin color of the actors from the film The Wild Bunch.

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    The movie “Good Will Hunting”, chronicling the story of an unknown genius with a photographic memory, redefines the word “genius”. Whereas MIT professors and their colleagues struggle to understand higher level mathematics and algorithms, this humble janitor solves the queries as if they came directly from an episode of Sesame Street. Will Hunting does not attend college; he is self educated via books which he reads at an astonishing pace, flipping the pages as if there were just a word on each page. Will Hunting (while fictional) is the epitome of intelligence and clearly would possess one of the most comprehensive knowledge resources on the planet. In a tutorial with a vast source of knowledge such as him, learning would be virtually limitless.…

    It came from my cousin Charles who said the Goonies was one of his favorite childhood movies. After all the research I did and questions I asked I can say without a doubt that this movie is the greatest movie I have ever seen. How else can he say something like that? The fact is that he must not have had a good imagination as a kid. I cant explain what "it" is but when you sit back and experience a movie with "it", it will be forever instilled in your memory. Just look at some of the classic films of that decade. The Goonies is true art for our time. Watching it again almost brought tears to his eyes as he was drawn frame after frame of the drama and suspense. Its such…

    ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’, a later film of the Coen Brothers, has an unusual script in terms of the conventional form of screenwriting, but one that is clearly recognisable to be of the Coen brothers. This isn’t to say they aren’t masters of the craft, as their work clearly shows experience and clarity. Instead we see that they keep their creative integrity and that their work can be seen as clearer and more structured than a script that follows all the rules. Their vision and planning through the script is noted by many of their crew-members, including Paul LeBlanc, the hair department head on ‘No Country for Old Men’ who said that “The Coen Brothers say what needs to be said and nothing more in any…

    The values and techniques commonly exhibited in the Cohen Brothers films that I wanted to accentuate in my piece are irony, but most prominently, re-contextualization. In “The Big Lebowski,” my source of influence for my piece, text is constantly quoted and repeated, re-contextualizing said text. To depict this re-contextualization so prevalent in Cohen films such as “The Big Lebowski, ” I composed a quote from the movie of which was re-contextualized preceding the creation of my piece in the form of a ransom note. I chose to present the quote as such not only to nod to the ransom note in the movie, but also to feature the re-contextualizing attributes in and of itself. Typically, a ransom note is composed of letters from newspaper clippings…
