Emotions Movie Reviews Samples For Students

The movie “A Dog’s Love” is a short film that was made in 1914. Despite that this is an old movie I think it is still very efficient. Charlie Chaplin once said that babies and dogs are the best actors. This movie truly proves it. The plot involves a rich little girl. No one wants to play with her, because she is rich. Her parents don’t play with her too.I think that this situation is common even nowadays.

The Personals

The movie was shot in 1998 by Chen Kou-Fu. The next year the movie was presented at the Cannes Festival. The story described in the movie, in my opinion, is rather banal.

She decided to solve the problem with a partner by simply posting an ad in a newspaper. Soon she gets more than a hundred calls. The “potential” partners are rather strange: beginning with a restaurant manager who adores shoes and ending with a ...

In Alfred Hitchcock's 1964 film Marnie, the titular character (Tippi Hedren) is seduced and married by Mark Rutland (Sean Connery), a publishing magnate. Over the course of the film, the relationship between the two characters changes and transforms as Mark attempts to "cure" Marnie of her various hangups and fears. However, in the process, Mark is instead shaping Marnie's personality to suit his needs, taking away her agency and instead making her "owe" him for all he is doing for her. With that in mind, the film is extremely misogynistic with Mark's strategies and interactions with Marnie, as he simply ...

I believe that Orfeo Negro is one of such movies that should be definitely watched by everyone who is interested in the Brazilian culture. The reason for this is its unforgettable and captivating atmosphere created by the carnival in Rio de Janeiro, which serves as a setting for the events that take place in the movie. The way these events are connected with the carnival deserves special attention.

It is life’s obvious fact that each of us has our own way facing our emotions, particularly those that are deemed better off forgotten and erased. Perhaps this is because of the human need to always be at a safety zone, where nothing can be harmful for the person, regardless if these are physical dangers, psychological and mental, or even emotional in nature. As such, this human tendency to escape from emotional and psychological burden is very apparent in the 1980 film, Ordinary People, which was directed by Robert Redford and starred Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and ...

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). ...

Sequence Analysis in Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Pride and Prejudice (2005) was Joe Wright's debut as a director of a feature film. It was a tough choice for the studio, because he had no real experience and didn't even read a Jane Austen's novel. But in the end it was the best candidate, because Wright managed to explore his nature talent and was later inspired to direct his other movies like Atonement or Anna Karenina. Pride and Prejudice was the first romantic film he worked on, but later he was admired for his work and the film was welcomed very warmly by ...

The only right decision, while giving a definition of culture is to define the main features, causes and ways of creative thought’s expression, and afterwards grouping the obtained data. This is what we can observe in the work of Cook and Glickman. After examining each of the options, one can give examples for each of them right away. However, the American culture in all its manifestations is versatile. And every issue within it is equally important. Though, it is sometimes difficult to navigate in the flow of information and ideas, and one has to “go on the reverse”. ...

Reflection Paper:
The pull of fiction when interspersed with even a small amount of reality is very often enough to engage the attention of a mass audience in regards to almost any subject. In catering to what people consider to be “true” and “factual” filmmakers tend to take great license with facts and how they wish to entertain their audiences. Not everything that is pushed upon the masses is popular for its views or the manner in which it is presented, but when matters are confronted that can cause people to feel and experience emotions in an unforeseen manner ...

Emotional Detachment: Up in the Air
Up In the Air is one of a kind, a very good romantic drama-comedy film that captured the hearts of many. The protagonist, played (Ryan Bingham) by George Clooney, could not have delivered his acting any better. Imagine it happening in real-life scenarios in which a company would hire someone to fire people no longer needed in an organization. It seems cold but rather effective way of dealing with the messy after-effects of letting people goes. The management does not need to deal with tears, rages and emotional impacts that could well, cause trauma.

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 ...

Current example of such movie is “28 Days Later” by Danny Boyle, in which he depicted post-apocalyptic world abandoned and destroyed by an epidemic that transforms ...

Summary
The Stanford Prison experiment was a psychological study conducted at Stanford University to determine how becoming a guard or a prisoner in a prison environment affected the behavior of a participant. The rationale of the experiment was to critique the ‘dispositional hypothesis’, which maintained that prisoners and guards behave in typical fashions because of their inherent nature (McGreal, 2013).
