English-language films

Last year I came to the USA for my studying life as a Chinese international student. I have evaluated to chose ASU from a few universities. But I still faced many hard challenges at the beginning. The three main challenges are the temperature, language and personal psychological quality of being alone in an unfamiliar country. However, I have come here for almost half a year and I have summarized some suggestion through my personal experience and some researching to live better in here. #Challenge

The Film The Searchers by John Ford tells an emotionally complex story of hate-ridden quest and also explores the themes of racial prejudice. It gives you a first-hand look of the origin and meaning of Racial Hatred and Ethan and Scar are used to portray and symbolize that. Ethan also harbors a bitter hatred of Indians (though he knows their lore and language well). Ethan’s racism and fear of miscegenation manifest themselves so often that a couple of examples of him at his most vindictive should

Louis C.K. is a popular stand-up comedian, film writer, and (more recently) actor is mainstream US culture. Born in 1967, he rose to fame as a stand-up comedian and comedy writer in New York City in the early 1990s. Despite appearing to be a white Irishman, he is actually half-Mexican and spent the first seven years of his life in Mexico City. He is bilingual in Spanish and English, and holds Mexican citizenship. In this database, I will explore Louis CK’s identity as a Latinx-American stand-up

Both actors, Gregory Peck and J.K. Simmons put on amazing performances in the films, The Omen (1976) and Whiplash (2014), and they compare and contrast very well. Both actors have completely different acting styles and the films they performed in are of different genres, but their believability and commitment are remarkable. Both actors can convey almost any type of emotion in their leadership roles through their facial and body expressions as well as their tone of voice. These actors are more memorable

A well-crafted film, when read as a text, is as insightful and rich as literature. When viewed for deeper thematic elements, films allow the audience to gain insight into the past; particularly historical events that one may have never experienced. Ashani Sanket (Distant Thunder), expertly directed by Satyajit Ray (1973), focuses on the life of Gangacharan, a Brahmin man and his wife Ananga, during the 1943 famine in a rural village in West Bengal. Throughout the film, Ray effectively depicts

Costner this 1990 film takes place in the northern states of the US. Costner’s movie is based on a book written by Michael Blake, by the same title. The story is about a union army lieutenant and a Lakota Indian tribe, which Costner changes to a Sioux tribe. In order for Kevin Costner to complete the filming of this movie, and due to unforeseen delays, he paid out of his own pocket $3 million dollars to complete the film. The actor stars in, directs, and produces this film. I believe Costner

written by Kate McCaffrey and the feature film Mean Girls, directed by Mark Waters both represent issues and groups in distinct approaches. The novel Destroying Avalon is a story about the teenager transitioning from rural to the suburbs. She experiences targeted cyber-bullying that drives her to breaking point. Overall, it clearly shows the effects of bullying, stereotypes and the pressures of teenage life that leads to mistrust and complications. The feature film Mean Girls similarly, portray a teenager’s

Laden. Fahard felt disrespected by his comments and he got kicked out of the store. The film demonstrates to audience when recently there was an attack to World Trade Center in New York City. People began blaming it all on Muslims for attacking their country. They were treated poorly at the gun shop but Farhard’s daughter convinced the gun shop owner to sell her the gun or give back the money and she knew more English than her father. It’s similar to racism because they are insulting their culture and

ideas that it's okay to separate, you will be okay with ups and down, it's all alright. What fairy tales do extremely well is set a guideline for the English language. They allow the children to learn the basic parts of the story. It gives parents the opportunities to teach critical reading skills. As well as allowing most people to have a unified language among the majority that can relate and correspond to each person.(Taylor). They can also teach really important
