Questions About The Film Return To Paradise

Would you return to face six years in prison to spare a friend’s life in a similar situation? What is your ethical rationale?
Relevant facts in this matter are that I am starting a family, and I have personal hopes and ambitions to pursue. Going to Malaysia to save a friend would mean betraying those commitments.

One problem with the film is that some parts are in Arabic and not translated or given subtitles, so English-speakers can only guess at what they are saying. Its point of view was clearly opposed to the war ...

Control Room

The feature-length documentary, Control Room is a gritty and realistic presentation of the media’s role in modern warfare. The film’s premise is to demonstrate the contrast between the perception of the Al Jazeera news network in comparison with its reality. Released in 2004, Control Room was filmed, on the ground, during the American 2003 invasion of Iraq in an attempt to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime and liberate the Iraqi people. The complaint regularly made by western broadcasters and indeed, the U.S. government and military, is that Al Jazeera is sympathetic to the causes of men like Osama ...

The film, Media Burn by Ant Farm was designed to satirize society’s obsession with the media by holding a mirror up to them and creating a ‘media stunt’ which would attract people but bear no real implication on that day’s real event: the 4th July, America’s Independence Day. The film takes on a form of documentary make which Bill Nichols refers to as ‘The Poetic Mode’ (Nichols, 2001, p102), as it detaches itself from a defined space in time and location (other than America, as a whole) and instead, it presents a series of video clips and ideas which may seem somewhat ...

The movie changed the way I feel about the possibility of a free and fair election in America because from the beginning the Gubernational election was purportedly stage managed by the republicans so as to steal a senate seat that was not theirs from the beginning.

A re-election is finally set up and the lead candidate by the republicans is Arnold Schwartzeneger, a Hollywood actor famed for his lead role in the ...

The movie Nixon challenged the way I feel about the innocence or guilt of President Richard Nixon in the Watergate Scandal. The movie shows that the complex nature of President Nixon originated from his childhood and his earlier life where two of his elder brothers died from illnesses, and the 1960 presidential elections. The events turned him into a paranoid and shy man who could always resort to uncalled for actions. The media had portrayed Nixon as having being aware of the break inn in the Watergate hotel, Democrats’ headquarters.
However, after seeing the movie, one is left to ...

Stories about journalists investigating scandals have always been popular topics for films. First and foremost it can be explained by a desire of a human being to rummage in the staff of other people, to take the skeleton out of a cupboard and learn all the ins and outs of another person. Journalists are similar to sleuthhounds, which are poking their nose into affairs of others, making a sensation out of it. And when it comes to political scandals, their interest is boosted even more.

The film, directed by Alan J. Pakula All the President’s Men, is a paragon of a film, where journalists ...

Most of these principles have psychological and sociological roots (Fill, 2003).

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.

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). ...

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.

New businesses exploited weak government controls and took on many of the same exploitative practices as the Robber Baron businessmen of the 19th ...

As one of the first documentaries to adopt what was, at the time, a hybrid approach, ...
