Pulp Fiction is a movie directed by a Quentin Tarantino who is famous for his non-standard approach that can be hardly confused with any other movies.

So, the ...

Introduction

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.

In Daybreakers, the world has fallen victim to a plague that has turned everyone into vampires, giving them rule over society.

Over the course of the movie, Ethan Hawke’s character, a hematologist, falls in with a small pack of humans hiding from the vampires and attempting to find a cure for vampirism, which he eventually discovers. Daybreakers, despite ...

Chinese cinema has always been at the forefront of international cinema. Despite it being only the 4th largest industry in the world, it has still managed to create an impact on American and European audiences. The story coupled with martial arts and action created crossover appeal with American audiences as early as the 1960s. Characteristics of Hong Kong cinema gave rise to anti-heroes whom went against type but were heroes at the end of the day. Drunken Master (1978), Hard Boiled (1992) and Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) are 3 films which speak to the evolution of Chinese cinema in ...

1.Yojimbo (1961) and Jidaigeki (Period Drama)
Yojimbo is one of my absolute favorite Kurosawa films; I’m just so impressed by its incredible energy and pep. Toshiro Mifune seems to have a tremendous amount of fun as the ronin who marches into town and quickly ends up solving its problems. He is literally the archetype for Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name, and Yojimbo lends itself well to the Western format. In the space of a few minutes, we are told the stakes of the town, the different factions in it, and Sanjuro chooses to take down both ...

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 ...

Assignment: Historical Accuracy in Hollywood Movies based on true stories.

A. What reasons do your authors give to explain the historical inaccuracies in the films? Give an example from one of the articles.

The director James Cameron seemed to be working against himself in putting together the movie “The Titanic.” As the reviewer notes he carefully tried to portray the sets and rituals of Victorian society but then he used a script that showed a contemporary view of the appropriateness of . . . making love? having sex?. . . with a stranger. On top of that all the fine historical clothing was flooded so no one could ever use it again. I think ...

The theme of this scene is neighbor's suspicion and Oskar's protectiveness. There are three characters here, the neighbor, Oskar and Eli. The neighbor understands that there are sinister forces involved in what is happening in the town, and he does not understand that, while Oskar wants to protect the girl he loves. She is a monster for other people, but he develops a special connection with her. They are the same age, at least physically. The music is dramatic and creates mystery. There is also no music during some shots. The setting is adequate being in an empty apartment. ...

Though not always elitist, movies are excellent at reflecting the reality and human history, just as poetry and prose are. The movie industry was being developed over the 20th century while the human civilization was being shaken by major military collisions, be they regional or conflicts of world proportions. There was no way the movie industry could sit sluggish in the circumstances, with film directors addressing the most vital social issues of the day. Genocide is one of grimmest crimes committed during the conflicts. Atrocious was the genocide of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and Jews in Nazi Germany – ...

In 1993, the American television network HBO released a TV movie "And the band played on" that tells about the first outbreak of AIDS in the United States in the early 80’s. The film was produced according to the eponymous book by Californian journalist and gay activist Randy Shilts primarily dedicated to social drama that unfolded against the backdrop of a new deadly disease. The film tells about how scientists and doctors have shown that AIDS - a viral disease, rather than "gay cancer" - a social pathology. Robert Gallo - one of the characters in the film, ...

In the past years, movies marked as “based on real events” appear more often. Moreover, some of the researchers, as well as ordinary viewers claim that almost every movie is based on real events. The point is that sometimes directors as well as screen play writers tend to exaggerate the importance and cruelty of some events. In the most cases, it happens in horror movies or some documentaries. The point is that the main idea of every documentary is to convince people in something. This essay is devoted to the issue of veracity of the events in three movies: ...

Budrus is definitely an inspiring and motivating movie that clearly demonstrates what people can really do under the influence of a leader that renounces violence and manages to unite people that in fact, had nothing to split. It is amazing and note-worthy how a need for fairness can become an entire movement that strives for just, in a world where barriers are built to keep people apart, be it Palestinians from Israelis, to black and white people, to Christian and Muslims and anything else in between.
Like any other documentary, the camera in Budrus has indeed been used to ...

Japanese horror films through the years had made astounding contribution to the movie industry and to the horror genre in particular. One of the notable directors of great Japanese horror flicks is Kurosawa Kiyoshi who is often compared to Andrei Tarkovsky and Stanley Kubrick in terms of directing style and influence. Most of his films are focused on ho a general society affects an individual and how the society also reacts to adverse irrational and disintegrated social mechanisms. Japanese horror movies are not typical to the usual western made fright movies. As observed from many western horrors movies, they ...

Final Film Critique: American Psycho

The film, American Psycho (Harron, 2000) is based on the book of the same name, written by Bret Easton Ellis and is fundamentally preoccupied with the idea of wealth, sex and success as being significant drives behind human behaviour. Its central protagonist, Patrick Bateman is a mass-murdering psychopath whose actions are driven almost singularly by his desire to be the best: the richest, the most successful, the most popular and somewhat bizarrely, the man with the best business card. Set in 1980s New York, the film is a discussion of yuppie culture taken to its absolute ...

Introduction

In 1998, Steven Spielberg directed a World War 2 film showing the events that happened during the Normandy invasion. The film was called “saving Private Ryan” and was based in Normandy and some parts of France. Screen play for the film was done by Rodat Robert with main actors being Tom Hanks as Captain John Miller, Tom Sizemore as Mike Hovarth, Barry Pepper as Daniel Jackson, Adam Goldberg as Stanley ‘Fish’ Mellish, Vin Diesel as Adrian Carpazo, Giovanni Ribisi as Irwin Wade, Jeremy Davis as Timothy Upham, and Matt Damon as Private James Rayan. The movie was produced to depict a very dramatic, strong, and serious theme. Indeed the result is that it was successful in proving the historical accuracy of the Normandy event despite the minor flows which are common in all movie productions. This hypothesis will be tested and proved in the following analysis and discussions.
