Movie review of “The Day the Earth Stood Still”

American cinematography in the 50s operated on full power. Especially there were many films about aliens and terrifying nightmarish monsters. I expected something like before watching “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. Fortunately, my expectations were not met.
This film is something special it's like a pearl, which emerged in the ocean of paranoia, of primitive fantasies and propaganda. All these characteristics, joined together, gave this film immense tenderness and care. Every decade has one or two iconic films that stand out from the crowd of movies released. “The Day the Earth Stood Still” is just one of them. ...

` The movie outlines the causes of ocean acidification as simple and easy to remedy in the following outline. Ocean acidification occurs because of burning fossil fuels in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide released from these fuels is dissolved in the ocean water forming carbonic acid. The beginning of the industrial revolution saw an increase in industries burning fossil fuels and subsequently led to an increase of carbon dioxide released into the air. The process involved in the acidification of the ocean is a chemical one where, as carbon dioxide is dissolved in the ocean water, it reacts with the water ...

In the 2007 film Charlie Wilson’s War, US Representative Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) finds himself working to increase funding and support for the mujahedeen freedom fighters battling the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, often through underhanded and clandestine means. The film presents Wilson as a champion rallying behind a cause, idealistically hoping to help the mujahedeen defeat the Soviet Union and give them the help they desperately needed. Charlie uses substantial political bargaining and maneuvering to get the funding for CIA agent Gust Avrakotos’ group, something that places his actions in a bit more ambiguous area with regards to political ethics. In ...

The Documentary movie “Hiroshima”by BBC reflects one of the most tragic event that has ever occurred during World War II, when atomic bomb was dropped on the civil town Hiroshima.By July 1945 the war in Europehas almost came to the end because Nazis were defeated by the Soviets with the allied forces, the last step to the total victory was to destroy German ally Japanese armed forces.
The movie starts from the test of the secret weapon in New Mexico, created by American scientists. It was completely new, unknown, ultimate weapon that could destroy completely everything by ...

I would like to agree with Michael Moore for producing such an informative documentary. In deed, Bowling for Columbine presents a real scenario on gun violence and the mysteries surrounding the April 20, 1999 Columbine High School massacre in which Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered 12 students along side their teacher (Howe, D., 2002). The movie is compelling and gives a lot of information regarding this shooting which caused a lot of agonies to many people. The possession of guns had not become an issue of concern in the United States of America (USA) during that time. This explains why it ...

In the early 1960s, a lot of people had no doubt that soon a third world war would start. It was supposed to be a nuclear conflict between the US and the Soviet Union, which would lead to the destruction of humanity, or at least to the collapse of modern civilization. Regularly occurring conflicts like the Korean War of 1950-1953 and the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 intensified the tensions and cultivated the fear in society. Sooner or later, with malicious intent or by mistake, the Cold War could turn into a "Hot War". Everyone understood it, and there ...

The movie that is going to be discussed for the purposes of current critique paper is a documentary “Chernobyl uncensored”. Another name for the film is “The Battle of Chernobyl”. Using the testimonies of Chernobyl disaster’s witnesses, materials from video archives and the photographs of a famous Chernobyl photographer Igor Kostin, the creators of the film revisited the large-scale nuclear incident at Chernobyl power plant that took place in 1986.
I chose the film for review due to two reasons. First of all, it is necessary to remember that the Chernobyl disaster was the most significant nuclear power ...

A short film “Ghost Recon: Alpha” is the background to the game “Ghost Recon: Future Soldier”, released in 2012 (Alaux et al.). The French company, engaged in the video games production, Ubisoft performed the adaptation of the given film. After a bad start of the game Prince of Persia on the big screen, Ubisoft came to a more serious approach to this issue. Ubisoft decided to perform shootings of the acclaimed video game series “Assassin's Sreed” through its own efforts and at its own expense, thereby fully preserving copyright movies. Such a move is quite expected, as this will ...

The earth as we see it is composed of different components that make up the earth we know day. These components vary from the physical elements that are seen by the human eye to strange and unexplained forces that are in the visible elements of the earth. This has triggered the scientists to devise ways in which they will understand fully what happens on earth and why it is in the shape it is today. The scientists through governments have sent into space different space satellites that are able to help them get the desired knowledge of the different ...

The documentary film White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was produced and directed by Steven Okazaki in 2007. This film is full of drama, because it shows personal stories of the people that survived the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This film is of great importance for understanding the events that took place at the end of the World War II, because it explains the motives of the USA to use the mass destruction weapons and more importantly it shows the devastating consequences of the atomic bombings. Thousands of people were immediately killed, but even ...

Business

Organizational Structure
For the CEO position, I choose “Gordon Gekko” from the movie “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”. This is because Gekko possesses the qualities of an organizational leader who can make everyone in the organization move with with just a snap of the finger. In the movie, Gordon was able to get the attention of the people after imprisonment by writing a book. Even though Winnie did not accept Gekko, Gordon never stops to please Winnie with the help of Jacob. However, there is an instance where Gecko needs to cheat Jacob because Gordon wanted get the money which ...

A thought-provoking and original film, “The Fog of War” is highly controversial. The critical reception of the film reflected both some historical disagreements over the Vietnam and Cold Wars and appraisal of its ability to speak to universal and contemporary questions. The director, Errol Morris, was accused of presenting a historically inaccurate and self-serving narrative and being too lenient on the major figure of his film. On the other hand, “The Fog of War” won an Academy Award for being the best documentary. In general, the film tells the audience about grueling problems in ethics, politics, and contemporary history. ...

Different individuals across the globe say that old folks are resistant to change since they tend to be accustomed to the ancient ways. However, in the “Gran Torino” by Clint Eastwood, it is very evident the every individual can embrace change. Walt Kowalsky, the protagonist, is a cold hearted racist veteran, whose humanity is thawed through his associations with the Hmong neighbors; motivating an enormous change in the manner he treats himself and even other people around him. Clint Eastwood utilizes the ending and the beginning to pinpoint this change and educate the audience valuable lessons through the implementation ...

The movie I have selected to analyze is The China Syndrome. This movie highlights how journalism and media play a huge role in checking how large and potentially dangerous corporations work. At the beginning of the movie, Jack Godell (Jack Lemmon) is seen putting the Ventana nuclear reactor into an emergency shutdown because of the coolant going to dangerously low temperatures. The whole idea was that if the core had melted and drained into the earth (which is called ‘China Syndrome) it would have contaminated all the groundwater in the area and made the whole place radioactive. This means that ...

Every person has his own way, his own lucky star, and his destination in this life. But nevertheless, a human stays a human no matter what he or she faces and what problems copes. All outstanding persons stayed just simple men no matter how greatly they influenced the people’s lives and the whole world. I think Socrates, Buddha, and Muhammad were just simple people with their own problems and happiness; all of them were just normal people with arms and legs. But from the other point of view each of them was unique and wonderful person. Gandhi was one of ...

Technology has been welcomed by people across the globe from time immemorial. However, the rate at which thinks happen nowadays creates worries than solutions to the human race. With the rampant increases in the level of technology people are confused whether to appreciate disown technology as far as god’s creation is concerned. People have always argued that god did not intent to create a lazy being thus he gave human beings minds to liberate themselves from their woes. They argue that god’s intention was to restructure the world by insisting that only those who work have to eat. ...

Introduction

The American Revolutionary War was a turning point in the history of the United States of America. It signified the independence of America from the British colonizers. The war surrounding this independence of America has been featured in films such as The Patriot. Through such films, everyone can learn about historical wars that shaped the future of the United States (Ansen 58). However, the questions that arise from such movies as The Patriot is if they are truly historically accurate in their character depiction, scenery and weapons that were used, what the film got right and what it got ...

I liked Dante’s peak because it starred two of my favorite movie personalities, and there was enough action to keep my interest. As far as the geology as portrayed in the movie, the movie makes does a very good job of ensuring that the physical geology is represented very close to the real appearance. The many, though not all respects, the depiction of the eruptive dangers of volcanoes come very close to the mark. This is especially so with regards to the massive eruptive power released during a volcanic eruption. The Cascade Range stratovolcanoes of Alaska erupt explosively and release ...

The film Of Gods and Men begins with a quotation from the Bible "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." This neatly sums the theme of the film – everyone is a child of God - and also offers an ominous foreshadowing of the ending. Set in an Algerian monastery, nine Catholic monks live in a Muslim area, where they are accepted by the peaceful and friendly community. However, as the true story develops the safety of the monastery is threatened ...

The “Best of Both Worlds” has two storylines adapted from Star Trek: The Next Generation, American science fiction television series. It aims to describe the struggle between the two opposing factions, the Enterprise and the Borg. The Borg intends to conquer Earth, whereas the Enterprise is determined to prevent the Borg from accomplishing this. Before the cube can reach Earth, the Enterprise can destroy the Borg’s protective shield, leaving it/them vulnerable to attack and, therefore, increasing the Enterprise’s chance of success in preventing it/them from conquering Earth. This paper will analyze the second thesis in Cohen's Monster ...

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 ...

Control Room was a very powerful documentary made by Al Jazeera television in 2004 about the early phase of the Iraq War and the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. Almost off of it takes place in the Coalition Forces Media Center for Central Command (CENTCOM), where the journalists are attempting to get real information about what was happening in the war. One problem with the film is that some parts are in Arabic and not translated or given subtitles, so English-speakers can only guess at what they are saying. Its point of view was clearly opposed to the war ...

Movie Review of Incident at Oglala

Interesting drum beat, like the beating of a heart. Multiple people telling the story

leading up to the shootings. “The agents committed suicide when they went in there after

Jimmy Eagle.” Indians are saying they do not understand why the Fed agents would

surround a place where there were families, children, homes, and start firing. Some say

they were fired upon first by the agents, some say the agents came into the Jumping Bull

compound and were immediately fired upon. FBI spokes person said that Agent

Williams put up his hand in front of his face and was shot through his ...

1979's Alien, directed by Ridley Scott, is a brilliant exercise in mood and atmosphere building up to a horror film of excruciating terror. The design of the alien, the strong performances and direction, and the straightforward, inescapable tale of a haunted house in space make it a landmark science fiction film. Part of its brilliance comes from its examination of power relationships, exemplified by the tug of war between Ripley and the Alien. Through the lenses of Devor and Cohen, a pair of crucial scenes in the film will be explored in terms of their exploration of power.

The alien itself maintains all of the ...
