Other times more complex issues are explored, such as counseling the victim of a heinous crime or giving insight into high profile media stories. “Dr. Phil” presents a very clinical approach to the portrayal of gender on their ...

How to decide which films to watch

Personally, I decide the film I have to watch by using many features. Some of them include the following: mood, environment, who I am watching with, the nature of the film, and the moral lesson that the film has. The mood in this case tells us about the feelings towards the characters in the film. The question that I need to ask myself is “am I going to enjoy it?” Often, I normally watch to relive pain, to get comfort and even to settle my mind. Environment refers to the surrounding. I have to consider current surrounding i.e. the ...

Lars von Trier’s Melancholia is a hauntingly beautiful portrayal of psychological catastrophes that change the course of human lives, which are on the brink of extinction. Carefully selected music, camera shots and more than believable acting performance are attributes making it one of the best movies in 2011.
The catastrophes that befall the young and unfortunate heroine Justine, played wonderfully by Kirsten Dunst, have little to do with the apocalypse, which she welcomes as release from a world wrought with evil. The first part of the movie, entitled “Justine,” signals events that mar her seeming happiness, such as her ...

In Alfred Hitchcock's 1964 film Marnie, the titular character (Tippi Hedren) is seduced and married by Mark Rutland (Sean Connery), a publishing magnate. Over the course of the film, the relationship between the two characters changes and transforms as Mark attempts to "cure" Marnie of her various hangups and fears. However, in the process, Mark is instead shaping Marnie's personality to suit his needs, taking away her agency and instead making her "owe" him for all he is doing for her. With that in mind, the film is extremely misogynistic with Mark's strategies and interactions with Marnie, as he simply ...

In the movie “Murderball,” directed by Rubin and Shapiro, the paraplegics who play for the USA rugby team are practicing to compete in the Athens 2004 Paralympics. However, the most interesting part of the movie is the individual story of each character that is not always directly connected to rugby or their daily activities. Rather than focusing on their sport and the violence required to excel at it, it is more interesting to listen to their accidents, choices in life, and their paths to rehabilitation and leading a normal life. The behavioral aspect of the movie “Murderball” is the most ...

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.

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 ( ...

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). ...

In his seminal work, A History of the Nine Principles of Policing, Robert Peel of the London Metropolitan Police (LMP) mentioned two important principles of policing.

The film has made me feel sad on how radioactive substances used during World War III caused damage to the human race. The bad experiences in life bring sorrows and suffering that the mind usually “rewinds” over.

As I watch it, I can recognize from the still images that the movie is about a man who was a victim of war during his ...

It is always difficult to watch movies about impaired people, let alone see them in real life. However, it is the real life that we must accept. Cinema is an excellent field and sphere to analyze the potential symptoms of characters playing the role of an impaired man or woman.

Watching Forrest Gump one always thinks of the protagonist as mentally retarded (or rather suffering from mental retardation - a congenital form of an intellectual disability ...

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.

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 1970s was a decade of the public’s disappointment with the government and its policies, domestic and foreign, social and economic. It was the time of counterculture and various movements and protests that followed the example of the civil rights movement. The most important topics for the American people were the distrust for the government after the long-lasting Vietnam War that weakened not only the United States, whose economic situation was already devastating, but other countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia and their neighbors; the Watergate scandal that made Americans doubt that the county is in fact a democratic one, the state ...

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 ...

It is life’s obvious fact that each of us has our own way facing our emotions, particularly those that are deemed better off forgotten and erased. Perhaps this is because of the human need to always be at a safety zone, where nothing can be harmful for the person, regardless if these are physical dangers, psychological and mental, or even emotional in nature. As such, this human tendency to escape from emotional and psychological burden is very apparent in the 1980 film, Ordinary People, which was directed by Robert Redford and starred Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and ...

Shot in 1960, Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock has made the cinema history and still remains interesting for the contemporary audience. Having seen a lot of Hitchcock’s movies (Vertigo, North by Northwest, Notorious, The Birds), I can claim that this one must be considered the best. Though they all have much in common, Psycho is prominent by the extraordinary plot, the amazing performance of the actors, and, of course, the recognizable score.
Psycho had a huge success among both the critics and the audience so apart from the sequels and a TV series produced, the film has also the ...
