The drag show that will be reviewed in this article is the “The death of Swedish Sapphire”. The performance is full of sexy dance moves by both the drag queen and the boys surrounding her. The portion of the show where one is disturbed is when the dancing boys and girl gathered around the drag queen. They were touching her body parts which one thinks is offensive. Another part which is quite unacceptable to me is when the drag queen danced with one of the boys. The dance moves were mimicking the sexual act. It may be said that ...

In the film Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) Dr. Victor Frankenstein did indeed have a moral responsibility to the creature he brought into the world, since he had quite literally decided to play God and make this monster out of dead body parts. He then compounded his arrogance by rejecting his own creation, which still had the mind of an infant, and leaving it alone to wander the earth. He had carried out these experiments with the best of intentions, with an obsession to create a new kind of superhuman species that would never experience illness, old age or death. In ...

The fourth season of Ryan Murphy’s FX anthology horror series American Horror Story, subtitled Freak Show, resets its rotating cast of regular actors into a new setting – that of a fictionalized freak show in 1960s Florida. The series capitalizes on the overarching cultural discourse of freaks throughout 20th century media and culture, particularly inspired by the depiction of freaks in Tod Browning’s Freaks and Herk Harvey’s film Carnival of Souls. Over the course of the series, however, the freaks (many of whom are played by people with the actual disabilities and deformities they purport to have) ...

The Displaced Person movie review

How often in life some considerable things that are passing by people prefer not to perceive at all. It is easer to fence yourself off the obscure situation, to take the role of the unbiased arbitrator and just observe. However, there comes a day that all your indifference will strike a knock-down blow. To prevent such an unpleasant moment or avoid these consequences at all you should learn to take every event in life into your own consideration and try to experience them as an instructive lesson. If you recognize your own fears and make efforts to overcome them ...

Perhaps people would have been less horrified by the vivid imagery of this film had Aronofsky classified it as a “Horror Film”. But horror films do not make it to the Oscars, do they? In ...

The following analysis of Persona and Solaris reveals how movies from unlike countries and of different genres portray the development of opposite human personalities while losing or gaining humanity under the external influences and internal self-recognition. The attempts to create a fine movie about internal and external of human life do not often impress much, especially nowadays when we experience an endless flow of visual images. Probably, it inspires people to look back at the classic works that not only represent the unusual transformations in the forms of self but also produce extraordinary rhythms in the scenes (Tarkovsky 113). ...

The documentary, “Forks Over Knives” makes a compelling case in advocating for consumption of plant-based foods. It heavily criticizes animal-based foods and calls for its total elimination from our dietary consumption. It makes a convincing argument that most of the world’s chronic diseases could be averted by strictly following a vegetable or whole foods diet. In my opinion, a plant-based diet is healthier than processed foods. However, I disagree with the claim that animal-based foods ought to be banished from our meals. The human body needs animal-based foods such as omega 3and free-range eggs.

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 ...

Million Dollar Baby (2004) was film directed by Clint Eastwood. It relates to story of a woman who aspires to become a professional boxer. The film is well crafted and effective piece of popular art that takes a sympathetic and ultimately affirmative view of euthanasia. The film is troubling and a potentially, gravely harmful artifact of the culture of death. In a culture where quality of life is valued more than life itself and incapacitation is regarded as a fate worse than death, it may not be too much to say that people could die as a direct result of this film and others that portray ...

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.

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: ...

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 ...

Asian horror, as a genre, carries with it a generous mix of scathing subtext and grotesque images. Whether witnessing the wrath of an uncanny ghost girl, seeing people murdered in mountains of gore, or the many subtle avenues in between, many of the best Asian horror films combine shocking sights with potent messages in order to convey an anxiety present in that society at the time. "Setting aside the moral ramifications of such manifest extremities, we can identify the current boom enjoyed by Asian horror and extreme cinema and discern a complex nexus of local, regional and global relationships in play" (Choi ...
