The movie “where Hope Grows” is a manifestation of the fact that sometimes people who we least expect to be important in our lives end up shaping our character, thus influencing our lives in a remarkable way.

Additionally, Calvin is a drunkard, and his drinking problem gradually limits the time he spends with McKaley Miller (his teen daughter). Although Calvin seems to ...

During the last decade, Asian horror cinema has seen a surge in popularity throughout the world, especially in western countries. Traditionally, Japan has dominated the Asian horror cinema, but recently Hong Kong and South Korea have emerged as major powerhouses in the genre.

As the genre continues to grow, there is a need to understand the social conditions, cultural values, and cinematic traditions which influence the horror movies from Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore. In particular, ...

Violence and aggression are the hallmark of old patriarchal societies where men’s supremacy was the main value underpinning a family. However and unfortunately, it would be too early to talk about such type of social structure using the past tense, since even in our today’s open-minded world patriarchal families based on men’s violence and women’s oppression are not a rare case.

The viewing of Young – Pyŏn Yŏngju “Nanjun Moksori - Murmuring” (1995) documentary film made me wonder how many other women, from South Korea or any other part of the world, have been sexually exploited in wars without any formal accounting of such events. From the estimated number of 100.000 former South Korean sexual slaves, several of them gathered their forces in a public manifestation, asking for apologies and indemnifications from the Japanese government. These requests keep the women alive and fighting, as the sexual slavery experience left them troubled, frustrated, ashamed and hopeless, dreaming of the life ...

Death defying stunts, combat aerobatics and epic matchups are just some of the notable features comprising a martial arts movie. People who are unaware or disinterested in this genre would often argue that these movies just advocate violence and killing. However, this conceptualization of martial arts films had been refurbished and reinvented by one man as his work ethic, ideology, acting, directing, and way of the fist exemplified that there is more to martial arts films than just pure violence and conflict. Many people – from artists, martial arts practitioners to fans – would hail this man as an indispensable foundation to ...

Although decades of numerous incarnations have slightly diminished the stature of the vampire, the horror, seductiveness and mystery associated with it remains. Over the years, several themes have been associated with the vampires depicted in various films. The dominant metaphorical representations have been animal appetite, sex, evil and venereal disease. In F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, the vampire, unlike those in similar films, is unattractive and ghastly yet the fascination that grips those around him is remarkably disturbing. In this context, several metaphors emerge. This paper presents the metaphoric functions of the vampire in the film Nosferatu.

For André Bazin, the famous film critic and theorist from France, cinemas were a realist medium. This is why majority of film theorists would perhaps argue that that if he got a look at the computer-animated film WALL·E (2008) by Disney/Pixar, he would turn over in his grave. His theories revolved around the notion that there is always a mummy complex underlying the origin of any form of art, including cinema. Bazin’s notion suggests that art struggles to immortalize the mortal, to preserve the physical existence on screen. According to Bazin, the medium that eliminates most of the distance between ...

The story of Huey Long is one of the most compelling political narratives in the twentieth century. When it became obvious that the government would need to establish a sort of social safety net, as the Great Depression threatened to turn into a major socioeconomic upheaval, there were conflicting visions as to how this should take place. While the version that eventually grew under President Roosevelt created a network of public assistance, the version promoted by Huey Long promised a much more socialistic emphasis, using higher degrees of taxation to move resources down the socioeconomic food chain. However, as corruption threatened to undermine ...

The Coen Brothers have, one may say created an absolute masterpiece of a movie, which some may say is an amalgamation of the Wild West movies of old and a horror story. “The wide open plains, cowboys, Texas, guns and horses but has the syntax of a film noir even sometimes a horror movie. There is a murderer, one could even call him an unstoppable force, he kills without mercy and with a semi-novelty killing device. It deals with a man who finds a loot of money and must escape his pursuers who are a bunch of dirty business men, corrupted by greed and the lust for power ...
