No other American film auteur in the modern era has had a greater impact on the industry than Steven Spielberg. The man who created E.T. and Jurassic Park has personalized the art of filmic storytelling to a greater extent than any other director. In fact, it could be argued that Spielberg has so popularized the auteurist tradition that directors who have been inspired by the Indiana Jones movies and Poltergeist believe putting their personal stamp on a movie represents the height of the director’s art, the norm rather than the exception. Contributions from the great European directors of Francois Truffaut’s ...

Introduction

A documentary is a movie that attempts to present events, people and places in real life for purposes of instructing or maintaining historical records (Aitken). Documentaries are characterized by carefully chosen and arranged scenes just like movies. Unlike movies, documentaries are not scripted and the people in a documentary are not actors. In most cases, documentaries rely on voice-over narration to explain events in a given footage. In other cases, the story in the documentary is told through interviews with the people featured.

My first impression of America’s food system after watching America Revealed: Food Machine was amazement. I was amazed and awed by how much Americans eat and how the farming industry has tried to cope with this need – and successfully, too. However, I guess that saying that the farming industry has coped successfully is quite questionable in that while it does effectively and efficiently meet the dietary needs of Americans, as well as of people from other countries, it doesn’t come without a price.
Watching the video made me realize how powerful technology is. This is very evident ...

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 – ...

For the CEO position, I choose “Gordon Gekko” from the movie “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”.

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 ...

One of the most intriguing facts about the dystopian genre is that it did not appear until humanity had almost reached its apex in terms of knowledge and technology. The horrors of the First and Second World Wars showed that humanity would use its very best in terms of technology to do its very worst to one another, as mustard gas, hand grenades, nuclear bombs, and death camps made their first appearances on the planet. Led by such writers as George Orwell, the early practitioners of dystopian literature showed us our own future as it would be if human ...

Silent comedy is an acting style that was invented after the development of film technology. Movie writers employed prominence on visual and physical factor to bring out the humor in the movies. They helped entertain the audience. The most common tactics of the great era were sound tracks to match the movements, and sounds emanating from exaggerated violence (DeMain 2012).

Here, an actor had to use body ...

Casablanca, a classic tale of romance mixed with the flavor of patriotism, redefined the film industry. The ambiguous yet enchanting dialogues, Bergman’s cynicism regarding the past and passion for Ilsa, the setting of a new era represented by the dazzling casino, the presence of the evergreen Ingrid Bergman, the impending doom and the supremacy of lady luck make this movie ageless and a classic.
This film produced some of the most famous dialogues, like, “I stick my neck out for nobody”, “and this may be the beginning of a beautiful friendship”and“Play it, Sam”. These dialogues depicted the past and ...
