Moreover Movie Reviews Samples For Students

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). ...

American gangster movies have been in vogue for a very long time and have been a favorite of the American audience. The issues which surround law and order in the country have been captured well by gangster movies which depict criminals and vivid crime scenes. Although the movie is basically about letting the bad guys lose and the good guys emerge triumphant at the end, the movies usually swerve with the bad guys in the movie going about their crimes successfully without getting caught. Although the public has a clear recognition between the good and the bad, it is ...

The movie “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring” starts with showing a small Buddhist temple on the river. In the temple, there were both old and young Buddhist monks. Leafy trees and clear spring weather evoke peaceful background of this movie. To gather medical herbs and to get into land, two monks have to take a small boat. A young monk teases small animals like frogs, snakes, and fish by suspending stones to them with his innocent smile; at the same time, the old monk observes young monk without any comments. That night an old monk suspends rock to young monk ...

SYNOPSIS OF THE MOVIE

In the late 1960s and the beginning of 1970s, Steve Prefontaine was a distinctive and unique personality. He was an athlete who revolutionized his running career and managed to bring his sport in the headlines. The movie majorly focuses on Prefontaine aggressive personality and his constant refusal to pace himself. The only way Prefontaine was interested in winning was by “flat-out leading” in the whole race. He was undefeated in the US and acquired all of the American records between 2000-10000 meters. At the Munich Olympics, he ran one of the most memorable races. Prefontaine was greatly favoured to attain ...

Movie review

For this assignment I have watched the movie Holes. The movie composition is rather interesting. The plexus of two stories that happened with a hundred years difference allowed the director keep intrigue until the very end. When watching the movie, it is not clear what will happen next. Moreover, I should admit that the ending of the movie is very surprising. In one of the last scenes, when Zero and Stanley found the treasure, everyone awaited that it would be the Kissing Kate’s treasures. Indeed, the treasure belonged to Stanley Yelnats. Moreover, another surprising scene followed the previous one. ...

INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS IN 50 FIRST DATES

Interpersonal Relationships in 50 First Dates
Interpersonal relationships basically refer to the connection and/or linkage between two or more people who interact in a given context (Dwyer, 2009). This may be the workplace, the school, the church, at home, etc. Sometimes these relationships exist between individuals that some people encounter in their daily lives either often or rarely. Notably, for a relationship to exist and hold, always, there must be effective communication taking place or going on between the parties. Communication is a tool that can be used to either built or destroy interpersonal relationships (Cushman, 2011). This brings in the ...

Movie Paper

The movie, North Country has shown the controversial nature and the ugliness of the sexual harassment issue that is still prevailing in the developed as well as in the developing countries (Collin-Vezina, Dion, and Trocme). The story of the movie is an indication of the fact that the prejudice and bias against the women have never concluded in spite of the persistent claims of the theories regarding the efficiency of the law in promoting the equality between men and women. The movie North Country, has, however, also pointed out towards the fact that how the declared official equality of ...

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: ...

Interpersonal conflict is in every part of our lives. Apparently, even a movie can’t go without it. It gives many movies the ground from which they can then blossom. The movie “Hitch” gives a clear example of an interpersonal conflict. The two characters of the story, Alex and Sara, get into a fight over simple miscommunication.
These two people who have only recently met make a common mistake. They don’t tell the whole story and don’t stop to listen. If only Alex had told Sara about what he does, how he does it and in which cases, she might ...

Feminism in Movies: Just Wright

Introduction

Decades after Mary Wollstonecraft began the suffrage movement, women’s liberation is in its third wave and has changed its style with feminists shedding the image of bra-burning activists to one of “the woman on the top” (Britannica Encyclopedia). According to prolific feminist studies writer Susan J. Douglas, as advocated by the British female pop group, Spice Girls, feminism has become a dirty word, and girl power has become the acceptable way to think and speak of strong women (2010). Feminists are no longer women clad in baggy clothes striving for better recognition and respect for their gender. In the ...

Throughout history, Bollywood films have illustrated a representation of women in India in various forms. Arguably, it is certain that Bollywood films comprise of gender-based stereotypes. The female characters, situations, and plots concerning women in Indian films have been steered by stereotypical ideologies. Across the globe, extensive research had indicated that Indian films top the list of undermining women. Moreover, a sample survey established that Indian females, for an extended period of time, have portrayed females in sexualized roles. It is well-known that the notion of objectifying women on the screen has been a conspicuous issue that the films ...

Bridge of Spies (2015) is a historical film that was directed by Steven Spielberg. One of the stars in this film is Tom Hanks. This film received a very positive feedback from the viewers and in my opinion it is one of the best films about the confrontation between the USA and the USSR in the past few years. The film is set in 1957 – 1962 and is based on a true story. In 1957, the USA arrested a Soviet spy Rudolf Abel, but a few years later he was swapped for the American pilot that was brought down ...

Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Requiem for a Dream (2000) directed by Darren Aronofsky is a significant example of director’s skillful and subtle work. Due to the various techniques this film is not only visually beautiful but also magnificently tells story. Techniques that are used in this film are:
Accelerated montage can be observed at the beginning of the film when Harry (Jared Leto) and Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) roll TV to the pawn-broker (0:04:56 – 00:05:00). The other example of this technique can be found in scene when Harry, Tyrone and Marion (Jennifer Connelly) have a party (00:15:39).

Many critics called the film Sholay (1975) directed by Ramesh Sippy the best film in the history of Bollywood, or the "Film of the Millennium". The critics praise it so much so that several critics insist that "innovation in Hindi films ends with Sholay and that everything after that is repetitious trash" (Banker 55). This picture is a mix of crime thriller with the elements of "Japanese samurai epics and American and Italian Westerns, most obviously The Magnificent Seven (which was based on Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai)" (Banker 55). The director involved a number of best Indian actors ...

Art has always been one of the most valuable things in the whole society. People appreciate art because it keeps the history and memory of the humanity. Paintings, sculptures, memoirs can be more valuable than even some of the history books. The reason is quite simple. The history books may be rewritten in accordance with the requirements of the current government. However, such memorable things as paintings and sculptures are almost the immortal reminders of the human history. The film The Monuments Men is a historical drama that shows how people tried to save works of art during the ...

Social, Political and Economic Factors in the Film

The social, political and economic aspects on which the film is based paints a picture of misfortune, disadvantage and neglect of the helpless by those who are in authority. Similarly, it as well paints a picture of discrimination and inhumane treatment of the less fortunate in the society. Healthcare workers are mean to patients and unfeeling or uncaring to patients especially the unfortunate ones who had no health insurance or access to medical cover.
The film is also reminiscent of an American society that cannot be able to afford the rising cost of healthcare in the country. It also details ...

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 ...

The film Bhopal Express is an account of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy of 1984. The tragedy which led to the death of more than 8,000 people and systemic injuries to more than 500,000 others was caused by leakage of poisonous gas from the Union Carbide Factory in Bhopal, India (Hazarika, 1987). The film Bhopal Express tells of that sad event through the story of a newlywed couple that is threatened with the genetic aftermaths of the gas tragedy (Nayar, 2004). Against this background, corporations have a duty to protect the communities in which they operate and at all times ...

Introduction

For many years, indigenous people around the world, for example the Alaska Natives and Native American Indians have often received less government healthcare support and also less health status in comparison to their fellow citizens. Disparities have often characterized the health sector and governments have been accused of neglecting the indigenous people by relatively denying them one of the basic human rights, and that is good health .These health disparities together with the usually weak economic situations of the indigenous communities have inadvertently led to the life expectancy levels of the indigenous communities being lower than those of their ...

The protagonist in the movie Precious manifested many of the major issues that

adolescents go through. For one, she had low self-esteem. In her words, Precious described herself as an “ugly black grease, need to be wiped away” (Daniels, 2009). On her first day in Ms. Rain’s class, she didn’t think that she was good at anything when her teacher at her previous school knew very well that she was very good in math.

It could be assumed that her low self-esteem was caused by the way her mother

treated her. Her mother constantly beat her, treated her like a slave, and forced her to eat. Her mother said demeaning words to her and belittled her. As Precious surmised, “Momma said I can't dance. Plus, she ...
