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 Stoning of Soraya M actually puts on a good face and, therefore, it appears to be a morality story regarding the religious extremism, misogyny and the deadliness of the highest inaction. 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 ...

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.

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).

“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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Of all kinds of entertainment, movies are, by far, the single most popular type.

However, in the early 20th century, experts created the first movie with a synchronized sound coupled to image reproduced on the screen. Actors and film directors ...

Introduction

‘The Planet of the Apes’ is an American science fiction film released in the year 1968. On the surface, the sci-fi film tells the tale of a post-apocalyptic universe where apes have evolved and essentially taken control of a world seemingly destroyed by human beings. However, a deeper analysis reveals that the film is charged with various political allegories about the social struggles and allegories of the time. The film explores serious issues including violence, race, religion, prejudice as well as the pathologies of power. The film is premised on a classic reversal of the slave-master relations, whereby humans are massively oppressed by ...

In stories about the interactions between gods and man, faith is often a major component of the story – this is most especially true in the Greek myth of Theseus, the Athenian hero and adventurer who achieved great deeds and slayed many monsters in his time. Theseus’ story is expanded upon and altered for the 2011 film Immortals, directed by filmmaker Tarsem Singh, turning his original tale of overall adventuring and derring-do into a dark tale of revenge against the mortal king Hyperion. The use of faith as a theme in Immortals is effective, despite its changes to the overall Theseus myth, as ...

A motion picture refers to a series of still images, which when viewed in brisk succession, seem to be moving. There are two principles behind the creation of the illusion of movement of the pictures. These include; persistence of vision and displacement. Persistence of vision is a phenomenon that enables us to see the frames as a constant image without the incursion of seeing the space between the frames. Our brains form a visual impression upon seeing an image and the image loiters until the next image displaces it. Displacement, conversely, forms the illusion of movement. As the image shifts from frame to ...

Social class is a paradigm that forms stereotypes in many people and often hinders substantial insights and cooperation (Gilbert, 1998).

For instance, a slightly tanned skin may depict a personality of higher social class that the one with a pale skin tan. These and other ...
