Introduction

The film Last Vegas, directed by Jon Turteltaub, was released in 2013. It stars cinematic heavyweights like Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Kline. Some of these actors, like Kline and Douglas, have faded into general obscurity in recent years, but still have managed to maintain relative clout with their reputations, making this film seem like it was going to be one to remember. Unfortunately, most will probably remember it as one they wish they could forget. The storyline is boring, the jokes are stale, and the material is dull. There are a few redeeming qualities about ...

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 extreme and is hugely successful ...

"I wanna be Like Mike documentary"

This documentary presents the idea of shift in the perception of opportunity among parents and young people in America. I agree that education in the United States was traditionally treated as being an important pipeline to well-paying jobs and a better life. However, this supposition has slowly been dissolved as the idea of drafting into the NBA has become engrained into the US cultural framework. The American society seems to have little concern about education. Parents and young people have embraced the idea that you do not have to necessarily be educated to be in a position to make large amounts ...

In his article, Photography and Fetish, Christian Metz explains that the differences between photography and film are well known to his readers. However, he seeks to expound of the differences in more detail so as to enhance greater understanding of these differences. Metz argues that one of the major differences between film and photography is the idea that there is a difference in the spacio-temporal size of the lexis. According to Metz lexis refers to the area of reception of the reading unit of which both film and photography is mounted. Metz is of the view that the lexis in ...

The Name of the Class

Cross-Cultural Experiences in the movie “Outsourced”
The customs and cultures of India were developed by the country’s traditions that date back almost a few thousands of years. The significance most of these cultural behavior and traditions have in the people of India can be elusive to the average American. For instance, the picture of Kaali (the goddess of destruction), carrying the severed head of a man, hung on the wall of Todd’s (the protagonist) bedroom, is quite a disconcerting picture for the average American. But in India, it is a picture of relief. Similarly, the intermittent animal ( ...

Introduction

Much of the human suffering and economic disadvantages that occurred during the Great Depression (1929-1933) were a result of the boom mentality and unregulated business practices of the 1920s. People with a corrupt kind of business acumen exploited the weakest segments of society in the poorest regions. Praying on a naïve boom psychology, businessmen led a devastating attack on the Midwest that ultimately was not curbed by politicians or financial institutions until the middle 1930s. New businesses exploited weak government controls and took on many of the same exploitative practices as the Robber Baron businessmen of the 19th ...

The study of Jonestown is one that is scary as well as intriguing. Learning about the movement of such a group of people to follow one person is extremely interesting and it is one that is never truly observed on this scale very often. This paper looks at the movie Jonestown as well as the theories which have been taught in class. I look to apply these theories to the movie over the next few pages. The psychological idea that will take most of my time is that of conformity, this idea is one that is obvious when discussing a situation ...

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: ...

In terms of its success, the film was, financially, a big one and took a total of $230,884,728 at the box office.

Genre and ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’.

The 2004 film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind raises the question of ‘if you could erase the memories of your ex-lover, would you?’ As a film, its genre is seemingly quite ambiguous: it switches back and forth between memories and reality; love and un-love in a non-linear fashion that also skips between romance and science fiction. The genre of a film is traditionally seen as being a form of classification; it refers to a number of factors that go some way to defining it: “type of presentation (epic/lyric/dramatic), relation to reality (fiction/non-fiction), level of style (epic/novel), kind of plot (comedy/tragedy), nature of content ( ...

What are the key environmental problems associated with the California Delta?

What is causing these problems?
More and more water from the river and its tributaries feeding steel pick for irrigation, not only in the lowlands, but also in the upper reaches are causing the problems.

The main idea of the film and message delivered by the editor is that everyone should have the worthy life. At the same time, the person should enjoy the life given, while it is highly important to find the person worth loving in order to add value to the personal life. Symbolism plays the important role in ...

Films have developed out of dramatic and narrative tradition in which storytelling is used as a central concern. The filmmakers have challenged the manipulative and seductive power of narratives by using playful resistance to the convention of narratives, or by exploring other forms of medium. For example, filmmakers have used the interplays of gesture and rhythm, sound and image rather than relying on character psychology and plot mechanics. However, non-narrative film has a smaller audience than narrative films. A good example is aircraft passengers watching the direction of the nearest exit pointed out by flight attendants, which reminds the audience the ...

Introduction

Christians have been the radicals at the forefront of the abortion debate that has undoubtedly raged on in a sea of opinions for ages. People are differently opinioned when it comes to the sensitive subject that ignites a lot of medical, moral, and legal debates. The Christians still maintain a negative force towards abortion, which they identify as being against the doctrines of biblical teachings and morality. Christians maintain that an abortion amounts to the murder of an innocent person, and cite this together with other immorality arguments. In a country like the USA today, half of the pregnancies formed, especially among young ...

The Da Vinci Code is a well-known book and movie. As well as being a blockbuster as a film, it also raises some serious religious themes. The nature of faith is one, particularly with relation to faith being based on ignorance. Another important theme is that of the reliability of historical texts. The Bible is just one more historical text, and one which has gone through many translations over the centuries. Although I was never religious, The Da Vinci Code has changed my perception of religion, possibly forever.
The movie begins as the curator of the Louvre museum is murdered. His ...

When Lives Collide

Paul Haggis’s 2004 film Crash is a powerful view of the intersecting lives of many people and families of different races, classes, economic status, and careers in modern day Los Angeles.

There is Graham (Don Cheadle), a police officer whose mother is a junkie and brother is a criminal. Daniel (Michael Pena) is a locksmith and a kind-hearted family man not trusted by some of his customers because of his tattoos and tough looks. Farhad (Shaun Toub), a Persian shopkeeper, buys a gun to protect his family. Rick (Brendan ...

Analysis: “Out of the Past”

Out of the Past is one of the classics of the American film noir genre, staring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer and Kirk Douglas in one of the classic twisted plots that is a hallmark of this milieu. Joe Stephanos is searching for Jeff Bailey, who has enamored local girl Ann Miller, but who has also attracted the suspicions of the law – and of Ann’s father. Stephanos finds Bailey and takes him to see Whit Sterling, who has been hunting for him, over a matter of $40,000. Bailey and one of his former loves had swindled Sterling out of the ...

According to Yassmin Abdel-Magied, people face different unconscious biases quite frequently in their mundane routine (TED). However, some of them generate those biases, while others suffer from them. In this context, Ms. Abdel-Magied tells about two considerable biases, which other people apply to her. Those biases are connected to her race and gender. Firstly, she is a woman, which reduces her chances to get a good job. Secondly, she is a Muslim, which makes people mistrustful.
When describing my perception of Yassmin Abdel-Magied, it is necessary to explain my initial idea. Before the women started talking, I decided she ...

Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs provides an appealing story with various themes and messages. Originally aired in 1937, the film now appears dated; as could be expected, it is rooted in its period. It is culturally important as the globe’s first full-length cartoon, but watching it against the backdrop of today’s society exposes the film’s stereotypes and attitudes towards romantic love. A feminist critique reveals the abusive and superficial nature of romance in the film, whereas an anti-capitalist analysis of the story demonstrates the strong links between money and power.
Snow White ...

Carmen keeps making remarks on the appearances of the ladies working in the factory, prompting them to strip to their pants one day to compare their bodies. Ideally, ...

“Freedom Riders” is an insightful and impressive film regarding the non-violent movement for civil rights in the early 1960’s. The plan was the brainchild of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). The idea was that several supporters of the civil rights movement-black, white, male, and female-would board commercial buses and travel from Washington, D.C. to New Orleans, Louisiana in May of 1961.
There are several parts of the film that speak to the viewer. The first, and most notable, is that nearly a century following the Civil War, human beings, regardless of race or gender, could still be ...

The film confirms the universal power of faith and belief in yourself. Whoever you may be, your trump card is your faith. Fatalists believe in the inevitability of fate, Gatsby believes that the fate of his was just that, which he invented himself. He achieved the greatness that all was prepared for him since childhood (Churchwell).
The film is about how to love, loyalty on his dream. Of course, it is not easy, even dangerous, but maybe we should try it. As long as the person is alive, you can correct any mistakes; realize any dream, even a return ...

Screening Reflection

Ride with the Devil, upon first glance, may seem like a movie that doesn’t deserve significant attention. In reality however, it relates to a deeper level with several of the other films that we viewed in class. For me personally, this film was able to relate to all of the other films we viewed in class on multiple levels.
Ang Lee’s films have dealt with a variety of topics in the past. Some of his earlier works that we watched, like Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman, deal with the relationship between tradition and modern ways ...

Reconstruction that followed the end of the Civil War in 1865 was a very complicated political process that was inevitable due to the fundamental differences in the worldviews of the northerners and southerners, democrats and republicans, and finally freedmen and their former owners. At first the government granted the former slaves the right to own 40 acres of land and be independent, but later when Andrew Johnson became the President, freedmen had to return to their former workplaces and sign labour contracts with the planters.
What is more, black people were not prepared for freedom and the government did ...

Broculture and The Hangover

Abstract

The issue of feminism in the film industry is a common topic for controversial discussions. Many writers are more popular than others because of the ways in which feminism surfaces as the driving force behind their presentations. Feminism can be classified as a social movement that has created an enormous impact on culture of film, the theories of films and the critical reviews of films. A number of films represent the myths that reveal ideas on women and their femininity. In addition, there are films that speak to men and their masculinity. The issues of representation and spectatorship form ...

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). ...

Which principle of IDEA was challenged in this case?

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 is a law that has undergone many changes to help the disabled to access proper education in schools including public ones. The core principle that was being challenged in this movie was the right of the disabled Stephen Jeffers, who was autistic, to free and appropriate education in the public school if they qualify despite their disabilities. The issue was that the School District had offered to Stephen Jeffers a program that would not qualify as appropriate according to the standards of the IDEA. Since the parents had already withdrawn ...

The mysterious growth of the Chinese economy today had diverse effects on the social well-being of the country. The economic growth in the country failed to portray equal social development among the citizens.

Through globalization, today cultural crashes and the need to embrace the changes continuously affect the national development in a country (Williams, 2008). In the case of China, a communist country is trying to adapt to the capitalist world to sustain its development. With the integration of ...

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 ...

Miku is being constructed as a gendered performer by her fans because the idea that she is sexualized is tied into a larger discourse of how weird Otaku (fans with obsessive interests in America) is and so it is not about Miku herself, it is more about Otaku, as they have this idea that all Otaku like 16 year old girls in short skirts are adored by other Otaku’s, so there is a creepy sexual element in it.
Hatsune Miku is an alpha numeric form, and all the songs that Miku sings in the concerts are written by the fans. ...

There are various literature sources that discuss Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). The immense interest in this type of therapy is derived from the fact that it forms a seminal method of handling mental health issues that cannot be treated by medical doctors.

These authors bring out the concept of CBT in the clearest manner possible helping their readers understand that what they think can affect their feelings.

And The Band Played On is a documentary about the AIDS epidemic that is based on the book. The book (and the movie itself) has an interesting title and I think it means that no matter what the circumstances, everybody just kept going on as usual, like nothing was wrong. AIDS is a widespread epidemic and I don’t think enough is taught about the history and prevalence of it.
Before the movie, my knowledge of the history of AIDS was few and far between. My knowledge of AIDS before watching this movie was very little. We did not learn ...

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. There is a woman who is rather busy and does not have time for her personal life. However, she is at that very age when everybody around her has a family. 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 ...
