Documentary Food Inc., directed by Robert Kenner, is telling a story about food industry that is in control by huge corporations. Documentary itself is divided in several smaller portions that are connected. Every topic is well covered and explained, with appropriate witnesses and facts. Sometimes documentary is shocking and hard to believe. Shocking to see enormous fields full of cows that are waiting to be slaughtered and transformed to products. Fields full of corn, so long and wide that seems as there is no end to it. Hard to imagine how is possible to keep human population in dark and ...

Race and ethnicity have become rampant in most of the countries; thereby fuelling hatred and conflicts among the people. It has become a norm to identifying a person not by his name that on the basis of the ethnic community where they come from. However, it should be noted that ethnicity and racism have enormous effects on both the country and the individuals. It slows the economic growth of a country due to the uneven distribution of the natural resources and wealth. The vice comes about with an element of discrimination where a certain race is favored and developed at the expense of ...

The film is a great expose about the story behind the supermarket foods. It educates the viewers about the misconception and sometimes deception being employed by the supermarket giants. It tells the story of the very few big retailers that controlled the supermarket business and the control they have at the farmers and price. Aside from the animal welfare issues that are raised by the film, labor practices are also questionable because the workers’ right and safety are also put in danger.

I do believe that legislations like SOPA, ACTA, PIPA, TPP, and ITU should be there in the online world. They help reduce piracy and promote creativity. With these legislations in place, there is increased protection of content creators. The cloning of products from the United States by China and India is not right because it will kill the economy. In the end, the social aspect that these technologies wanted to bring forth will still be achieved. The laws on copyrights should be implemented and in place. With the strict implementations of these laws, I strongly believe that a free economy ...

The business world today depends on building their businesses to meet the expected targets. One sure way of achieving this is through advertisements. Advertisements can be in the form of television commercials. Many people at times do not subscribe to the commercials on the television.

The movie “Art & Copy” gives a different view about advertisements. The movie indicates that people have no problem with the advertisements. However, they have a problem with those advertisements that do not meet their expectations. ...

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 ...

The whole idea of a woman’s body being used as an object and how the advertisers use it to market their products is shocking. It is sad that we enjoy such adverts and not really understanding what they imply. Some of the sections that stood out is trying to replace the attraction that men have towards women to the products being advertised. Realizing that sex and passion are one of the main things that men look for in men, sexually erosive parts have been used and replaced with products such as beer and cars. This definitely diminishes the role ...

The movie “Killing Us Softly 4” shows the various ways of scrutinizing a woman’s body, and how the women are ridiculously represented in the advertisement industry. Jean Kilbourne the speaker in the movie has collected a lot of evidence on how a woman is portrayed in ads since 1960’s. Advertisers always target to persuade the customers to buy products, and Kilbourne displays the manner in which the companies create ads for various products and trade morals and ethics, way of life, and measurable things, and the most common perception displayed in the advertisement portrays the female gender as a quiet, delicate, ...

The Joneses, directed by Derrick Borte, is about four people who are pretending to be a family living in a wealthy neighborhood using personal product placement to try to increase sales of particular items in the community. It sounds like a simple idea, but the movie has characters, themes, symbolism, irony, and cinematography styles woven in complex ways that give the movie depth and a multifaceted message.

The Merchants of Cool is a PBS documentary which deals with how young people are completely influenced by the material culture which surrounds them every day.

David Redmon directed the film Mardi Gras: Made in China in 2005. In this film he wanted to show the problem of exploitative manufacturing caused by the outsourcing of production from the developed countries to China and other developing countries. The film is very unusual, because it focuses not on the production of cars or other technically complicated products and instead the director shows the life-cycle of the beads that are produced in China and shipped to New Orleans where they are usually sold in large numbers during the Mardi Gras festival. Those people who watch the film can ...

Any person can acknowledge that sex sells, particularly Carl Jr. Considering the commercials done by Mr. Carl Jr., it is clear that he uses models that are extremely sexualized for more than ten years. There is no exception to the advert where Charlotte McKinney, a model was the center of everybody’s attention for the approximately 50 second commercial. After a closer look at the advert, this essay is to give its presentation more into what goes in the commercial rather than just boobs and burgers. Consideration is given to the distribution of characters (femininity versus masculinity), text and ...

One of the movies that explores society, deals with the harsh reality of relationships between men and women, and misunderstandings of the concepts of gender and sex is the movie "Boys Don’t Cry". Even though Brandon Teena is the main character in the movie, other characters are equally important for the understanding of gender and sex stereotypes that exist in our culture. Gender is rarely divided from the sex in our culture, causing identity crisis and tragic endings of individuals, such as Brandon Teena.
One of the stereotypes is the assumption that sex and gender is the same ...

The documentary film Mardi Gras: Made in China was directed by David Redmon and won a large number of awards. There are many films about the pros and cons of globalization for the USA and China, but this film is in many ways unique.

By means of the contrast scenes and focus on the beads, which are useless products, the film makes the viewers sympathize with the Chinese ...

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 ...

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 – ...

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: ...

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 ...

Asian horror, as a genre, carries with it a generous mix of scathing subtext and grotesque images. Whether witnessing the wrath of an uncanny ghost girl, seeing people murdered in mountains of gore, or the many subtle avenues in between, many of the best Asian horror films combine shocking sights with potent messages in order to convey an anxiety present in that society at the time. "Setting aside the moral ramifications of such manifest extremities, we can identify the current boom enjoyed by Asian horror and extreme cinema and discern a complex nexus of local, regional and global relationships in play" (Choi ...

The consequences for granting exemptions to U.S. federal labour laws to garment subcontractors operating on Saipan was that they could pay the workers a fraction of the minimum wage, work them harder in poor conditions and for longer hours.

It is a remarkable phenomenon of American society that a film can transcend its own medium and establish a cultural crossroads where new aesthetic, historical, technological and philosophical sensibilities may at once converge. As such, a movie can capture Zeigeist and reflect the tenor of its era at a magnitude unmatched by any other creative form. Such is the case with the 1939 epic Gone With the Wind, a grand historical fiction that managed to simultaneously tap into the country’s psyche and sense of its own historical past while altering the notion of what was morally acceptable for a film to portray. No other film ...

This situation implies that many people around the globe, including us and ...
