Introduction

Globalization has made a significant contribution both socially and economically. Although, the focus was mainly on the socio-economic impacts of globalization, it is important to consider globalization from the cultural point of view.

Globalization in Hollywood films portray the inevitable result of globalization of world economy, where the “Chinese elements”, in particular, have become an epitome in the trend ...

Introduction

According to Jowett & O’Donnell (1), propaganda is a method of communication which tries to elicit a response that propagates the desired intention of the propagandist. The art of propaganda has been studied in an array of multidisciplinary researches in the fields of journalism, sociology, history, political science and psychology. To study the art of propaganda as history means examining propagandist practices as distinct events and the resultant events as likely effects of propaganda. Nazi films were predominantly propagandist in that they aimed at influencing attitudes on life in a given context, and in terms of particular people and events. Perhaps the ...

The movie “Hitler: The Rise of Evil” clearly depicts the personality Adolf Hitler possessed. The miseries suffered throughout his childhood; the hard relationships with his father and following deaths of both parents have given birth to cognitive dissonance that accompanied him throughout his life. He was more than aware of the lives of Germans in Austria and Germany as he had seen personally the social stratum of both nations. As was noted in the movie, he acted on the pure basis of understanding of the behavior of human-beings. He was a psychologist; the experience of influence of his speeches made ...

Introduction

The Stoning of Soraya M. is a true story regarding a horrific injustice tale set in Iran about a book by a French Iranian journalist. It is directed by an “Iranian-American” filmmaker.

The central essay about the film is about how not stoning women to death is admirable (Sahebjam: 30). The film is based on a true story regarding a woman coming from a small village in Iran who was framed for adultery by her own ...

The documentary film Ethnic Notions was a film that was used to show stereotypes against African Americans in the 1820s. The documentary featured caricatures that made people of the African descent seem unequal to the rest of humanity. This mentality sunk in the mentality of Americans and it almost became a normal routine to mistreat African Americans. The caricatures displayed Africans in various forms of submissiveness. They were portrayed to be loyal employees, careless in the way they conducted their lives, smiling idiots, brutal savages who did not have a shred of decency, and could not rise from their stature. In the ...

Business people have given full attention to making maximum profit with little regard on the customer welfare. As documented in the documentary film by Kenner, food production lacks quality standards that are necessary for the manufacturing and production of food fit for human consumption (Food Inc., 2010). Kenner shows how the food industry is corrupted with the production of food that harms or can harm human health. This is caused by the obsession of these companies in maximizing profit and yield from their projects. This puts serious questions on the credibility of the foods that are offered in the ...

Influence of Movies on Children

Literature Review
Mass media comprised of specially the press, the radio, recorded music, as well as recorded movies. Out of all these, movies emerged as the greatest concern to education activists. This is because of their enormous attraction to children. The review sought to establish the nature of influence movies had on the children. Children’s movies can be influential teachers. This is because of their high degree of exposure to new places and culture (Rupprecht, 2011). Their influence over children ranges from telling stories, motivating children to act, educating children on various vices and virtues, and other ...

As a big fan of Science Fiction Horror movies, I like the types of aliens that are strong looking, love to exterminate anything, and take over the land to spread out their horrendous empire. To me aliens are pretty cool creatures to explore and learn about. Aliens have been known as strangers or outsiders who are not in the same category as human. Therefore, we believe if they really exist and the way they came on earth is because they want to suck the potential source that we have and start their invasion.
When I was in Vietnam, television became a ...

Ang Lee’s The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Wong Kar-Wai’s Happy Together (1997) are two examples of “New Queer Cinema”, a genre defined in the early 1990’s by academic and film critic B. Ruby Rich. New Queer Cinema defined and described an already existing movement of filmmakers that were examining gay identity and existence from a queer perspective tand rejected heterosexual norms and values (Rich 14). Initially focused on the sociocultural elements of specific films by auteurs like Haynes and Araki, the term was soon broadened to include any films with gay and lesbian content (Berry 214). Initially, these ...

A Response to Jeremy Butler

This is a response paper wherein I have chosen a commentary written by Jeremy Butler, entitled Classical Narrative Structure: Exposition, Climax, Resolution. It explains the conventional narrative form that filmmakers follow. Butler cites examples from the popular movie Raiders of the Lost Ark in order to support his statements. While the commentary is precise, concise and well written, structurally it seems to be an incomplete read.
It is well written and is to the point. For instance, Butler has not given an introduction about the article; instead he has jumped straight to the body where he begins with his first ...

It is important to note and mention that the movie the zombie land brings to the fore these aspects and concepts. For instance, a college student tries to maneuver so as to reach home in order to find out if the parents are still alive of have been affected or killed by the zombie menace. Throughout the journey, the college student encounters a lot of challenges on the way. He tries to balance his safety first even as he travels with other people along the way.

When it comes to understanding genre films in the studio system, it is important to look at the different forces that influence the creation and production of films. Ezra W. Zuckerman, a research professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, wrote the article “Typecasting and Generalism in Firm and Market: Genre-Based Career Concentration in the Feature Film Industry, 1935-1995” to take a look at the interactions among three different topics: the beginnings of career specialization, the different ways firms and the market govern career choices and the ways in which economic organization has influenced cultural diversity on the silver screen. ...

“Seven Islands and a Metro” and “Bombay: Our City”

The United Nations reported in 2009 that by the year 2030, 41% of the population of India will reside in urban areas. Mumbai is one of one of the 20 largest cities in the world with a population of 2.21 billion in 2011. With almost twice the growth overall of the urban population, urban area slums are growing the most quickly (Reliancefoundation.org 2014). These types of housing conditions created by rapid population growth result in numerous problems: poor health conditions and more diseases, increased crime, lessened access to civic agencies, environmental degradation, increase in slum housing, and overcrowding. It is ...

The mid-20th century saw a number of developments and changes in the way cinematic language and technique was being utilized in film. Given the huge economic and social impact of World War II on all of Europe, particularly France, new ways of expressing the anxieties and concerns of the people had to be created. The French New Wave (or nouvelle vague) was born as a result of this post-war reconstruction and reflection, allowing European cinema to transition from dark, serious looks at the gritty realism of life (as evidenced by Italian neorealism) to worlds of stylized editing, frenetic energy and a sense ...

With regard to considerations of the auteur and mise en scene, I found the article “Imagining Geographies of Film” by Stuart C. Aitken and Deborah P. Dixon particularly interesting. The purpose of this article is to connect the geographic analysis of film to other disciplinary issues while also taking a look at how current theoretical constraints limit the consideration of geography. The authors successfully argue that critical perspectives on film often overlook the geographic concern; instead, the interest in geographies of film begins and ends with whether or not the geography of a particular film is realistic. One thing that is ...

What with the advent of CGI and other forms of computer animation, it is now almost impossible to tell what is real and what is computerized in movies. Taking a look back at movies made in earlier times can sometimes leave those films open to ridicule, unless one takes the time to consider the technology that was available when those movies were made. One example would be the original version of Clash of the Titans. From a modern point of view, the doddering movements of the Kraken and other creatures, as well as the wavering flight of the enchanted owl, look ...

Peter Parker, also known as the Amazing or Spectacular Spider-Man is one of the most celebrated super heroes of all time.

This media includes over 15 comic book titles, a Broadway musical and two movie franchises. With so many Spider-Man stories being and have been told, one of the fundamental question of Spider-man fans and followers alike is how is continuity achieved across so many platforms. This question is especially pertinent when considering the comic book Spider-Man ...

Harry Potter and his companions reliably break controls and endeavor to take care of adult issues out of the question of grown-up ability, brainpower, and inspiration. In spite of the fact that the postulated conduct may be regular in teenagers' writing, the Harry Potter series, particularly in later portions, takes rebellion of the youth to an incredible extent. Harry's family is feeble and gutless; rich characters are voracious and despicable. In the film series, visuals like neighborhoods with many indistinguishable houses fortify the thought of heedless congruity. The suggestion is that this designed world reflects the estimations of today's ...

Similar to other innovations such as an airplane, electricity, and the automobile, film emerged in the global market at the same time. Film industries appeared to be the first type of industrialized mass-entertainment, which has become pervasive. The industries have experienced a quality race that has led to increasing industrial concentration. The evolution of the movie industry may give an insight into technological changes as well as its associated welfare gains in many service industries to come. It is clear that the filmmaking are simply adapting and shifting to two polar points. The industries are trying to improve sensorial experience ...

Censorship would be defined as the accepted means of controlling information that would have otherwise been circulated to the general public. It was practiced under the explanation that there were fundamental institutions that needed filtered information. Protection of information that were deemed to be unfit for consumption by all and sundry were always filtered under the pretense of morality. It was achieved by examining information either in newspapers, audio systems, audio visual machines, films and even movies. Those ideas found in media to be offensive were either altered of deleted altogether so that the ugly parts did not reach ...

Human kind can achieve great heights when they set their mind to do anything. There are various examples of individuals achieving the impossible like Dr Martin Luther King Jr. achieving gender equality and an end to racial discrimination for the black, Albert Einstein defeated the disease of dyslexia to become the father of mathematics, Barrack Hussein Obama defeated the social barriers of a Muslim name and a black ethnicity to become America’s first non-white president and there are hundreds more of such outstanding individuals who have achieved the impossible. However, human kind has performed the most atrocious crimes to date. ...

The Oxford English Dictionary defines Bollywood as, “a name for the Indian popular film industry, based in Mumbai (Bombay).” (Simpson and Weiner, Oxford English Dictionary, Oxford University Press, United Kingdom; 1989) The term was coined in the 1970’s as is a portmanteau of the words Hollywood and Bombay (name changed to Mumbai). The history of Bollywood is believed to date back to 1913 but Pamela Hutchinson in her article The Birth of India’s Film Industry: How the Movies Came to Mumbai states that it was Harishchandra Sakharam Bhatavdedar, a local photographer of Mumbai, who shot the first ...

Gender-Role Expectations as seen in Casablanca and Mrs. Doubtfire:

Discussion and Analysis
Gender-role expectations are the labels put on individuals whom identify with a particular gender. Many of the expectations are formed from real observations and social roles; however, these stereotypes can be both foundational as well as detrimental to relationships. Men may desire women who are “feminine” and “good homemakers.” Women may desire men who are rugged and good with tools. The effects of these expectations can be seen in the two films, Casablanca, by Michael Curtiz, and Mrs. Doubtfire, by Chris Columbus. While these two movies don’t primarily focus on the effects of gender-role expectations, ...

The breakdown and formation of relationships is an important theme in films, particularly in romantic and situational comedies. These are not necessarily romantic relationships, although most films do tell a love story of sorts; the relationships considered in the film may be romantic and may be platonic or familial. Regardless of the type of relationship considered in the film, there are a number of different conflicts that can be explored. One of the main forms of conflict in films is the potential for breakdown in communication. When there is a breakdown of communication, people become hurt and angry as a result of something ...

Research is indicative of the fact that we form more positive impression of physically attractive people as compared to unattractive people. But, the advertisements, movies, and fairy tales play a significant role in making some adjustments in order to facilitate positive feeling about unattractive individuals. For example, the advertisements, movies, and fairy tales present some beautiful characters that are attractive and some ugly characters that are not attractive. They present such a story that sometimes the beautiful characters betray people, but the ugly characters help them. The ugly characters mostly remain ready to assist and support people in the hour of ...

Lee Daniels produces a film titled “The Butler” that focuses on an African American man that served some of the presidential families in the 20th century. The movie starts with one of the racially oppressed eras in the 20th century where President Eisenhower was the president. Given that African Americans have been forced into slavery in America and later racially segregated from the community because of their phenotype, the movie shares a limelight of the civil rights revolution in America and the Black Power Movement (Kilgore 17).

For centuries, scientists have been trying to map the concept of fear. This emotion is eminent from birth until death. Sociologists believe that this fear is what molds the society and the individual. It is the fear of the unknown that has forced us to develop medicine. Fear, like every other emotion, is developed due to thought. If thoughts did not exist, then the feeling of fear would not have existed either. Once we understand what fear is derived from, we comprehend that it is our own imagination, and ...

Movie Synopsis

Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) and Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) are outsiders who get together for utilitarian reasons: a cross-country auto ride in which they impart gas expenses and driving. She sizes him up as rough and unfeeling; he sees her as guileless and fanatical. When they complete their voyage, they are happy to part ways. However, the auto ride is simply the beginning of their relationship-and the start of a look at male and female correspondence styles. In their discussions, Harry and Sally frequently show correspondence designs like those found in sexual orientation related exploration. For example, Harry has a tendency to ...

The show is premised on the life and acting career of Mark Wahlberg. He represents his life with the use of other actors and showcases the people around him and the substantial role they played in his career.

Communication

When do the PR personnel of a Hollywood star needs to consider rebuilding reputation and image?
Entertainment headlines in the news often depict Hollywood stars getting involved in one or two controversies ranging from DUI offense to drugs and marital breakups. The role of PR personnel seriously damaging reputation is to minimize the subsequent effect effects of the controversies. News about Mel Gibson hurling racist and rather sexist remarks on his ex-girlfriend Oksana, or David Hasselhoff’s hospitalization due to alcoholism are just a few of the issues that PR personnel are trying to mitigate to preserve the public image ...

Introduction

Little Miss Sunshine is a shockingly inspiring dull parody that debuted at Sundance Film Festival and was later assigned for four Academy Awards. It recounts the story of a family on an 800-mile street excursion in a broken-down van, going to the Little Miss Sunshine magnificence challenge. It catches how far individuals will go to deny undesirable parts of themselves as well as other people, the expense of such a hindered presence, and the more prominent vitality and quality of incorporating the unsuitable.

Synopsis

Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris' 2006 drama-comedy Little Miss Sunshine apparently delineates the trials of a useless family attempting to get ...

Films are crafted for various purposes but most importantly, most films have a message for the audience (Fernandes 2008 p 41). The message may be explicitly stated and clearly cut throughout the movie though the ideas may also be metaphorically placed. More often than not, the filmmakers hope to achieve reactions from the audience and also expect the viewers to reexamine the traditions and values in the play (Fernandes 2008 p 29). The paper will focus on two films that were crafted to portray the struggles of women.The films, Portrait of Teresa and Salt of the Earth highlights the women’s rights ...

Influence of Movies and Video Games

Introduction
Movies and video games have been a constant source of debate on the issue underlying their realism and methods of influence to their audience. Therefore, there has been debate as to the superiority of the two, and which one has the greatest influence on its audience. The nature of language, how we think and act are shaped by what we watch. Even though most discussions are centered on the negative influences of the two, they can positively influence their audience. The difference emanates from the content one is concentrated on, and the amounts of time dedicated to it. ...

Barron reiterates that human beings all come into this world as "potential social beings". As infants, we cannot depend on ourselves thus we are helpless and must seek others like parents and siblings to realize the most basic physiological needs.

These ongoing processes refer to socialization. Barron further says, "socialization is imperative in the world we live in today since it is through socialization that each new generation ...

Through Animal Rights Lenses
The reasoning of the existence of a superior race is often used as a basis for animal objectification. Humans are believed to be the more advanced species when it comes to intelligence and even physique. This train of thought has allowed humans to justify hunting down animals, taking animals from their natural habitats and using them for purposes that would suit human’s wants and needs. Very few have ever questioned this notion, especially in the 19th century where things were very ...

The economic structure of a community has profound impact on individuals and families. This influence is more apparent among the U. S working class families than any other segment across the globe. Although ‘social class is not a tightly bounded and largely closed hierarchical set of social strata’, it can highly influence an individual’s economic and social opportunities and one’s behavior, beliefs, networks, associations, and knowledge (Furstenberg). This is one among various themes of 1954 controversial film ‘Salt of the Earth’. The film clearly depicts how intensely working class families are affected by the economic decline ...
