Why do we fear the unknown? In the process of answering this question, science-fiction genre films successfully capture the history of American society at distinct points in time. The genre is so closely linked to social and historical contexts that its development relies solely on this connection. Sci-fi myths and conventions have remained static for decades, and the only measurable change in the genre lies in the films’ themes (Gehring 229-230). For example, Robert Wise’s The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) argues that fear of the unknown is a flaw in human nature and criticizes the social paranoia of post-war, 1940s America. Conversely, Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) views the human existence through more

Recently some students of an English class watched a short film called Arrival, directed by Denise Villeneuve. One of the main stars of the film was Dr. Louise Banks, the hetapods that are actually called aliens. Arrival is about how these aliens called hetapods come down and land one of the 12 spacecraft’s on Earth. In the film they create world chaos to the point where the military is involved and the military needs Dr. Louise to help answer the citizens questions? “ Why are the hetapods here?” Due to them being aliens Dr. Louise job assigned by the military is to use her career skills as a language expert to understand these hetapods language and to communicate with them. Eventually she can communicate with the hetapods, considering reality how likely do you believe it is to have aliens or other intelligent beings would be on Earth? Thinking about their language, habitat lifestyle and how would the world react to them being here. How would we contact them? Could the world afford to use money for scientific tools and resources attempting to find and listen for space aliens?

What makes a film great to the viewer watching it? Is it the plot of the story? Maybe even the timing of the film? Possibly the special effects? The answer is all of it makes a movie great. You cannot just take in a few things to determine if the movie fulfills your standards of what makes a film good. There are a few things that really makes the movie Arrival stand out as one of the better films of 2016. I believe that Arrival is built on the foundation that all great movies have a relatable theme, show good acting, and brings out certain emotion that keeps us wanting more.

I will be considering that Star Wars appeals to many different people, proof of this is that it was released again in 1997 and still was groundbreaking to the millions of older viewers, also capturing the imagination of the younger generation. Sci-fi films are known to have

The Alien is a science fiction horror movie. Its setting in space and the presence of technology and artificial intelligence empathizes on its science fiction genre. Moreover, the presence of the Alien and the fact that it is a threat to human lives reflects it is also a horror film. The movie revolves around seven human beings that have the mission to return to earth from the space.

The dramatic war-like classic of a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, it is Star Wars. It made a huge impact in the 70s for its THX digitally mastered sound, new visual effects, but most of all the marvelous theme, without which, Star Wars would not be half the film it is now. It took the science fiction genre to a whole new era. Therefore, Star Wars IV is the best science fiction movies of all times.

The movie begins with an expert linguist Louise Banks, (Amy Adams) losing her only daughter to cancer at a young age. This is an important key to the storyline, but it gets set aside as soon as twelve gigantic unidentified space craft appear in different places around the world. Within a day Louise is summoned by the United States Military to decipher the language of the aliens. Shortly after arriving at the base, Louise is sent into the large black “shell” along with a team of men and physics specialist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner). The door to the shell only opened every eighteen hours. Once inside, the pod leads to a luminous chamber with a large glass screen like a movie theater. On the other side of the glass emerged from the fog; two squid-like creatures that were later named Heptapods. Because the military did not know the language of the aliens, they needed Louise to determine a way to communicate with these creatures and figure out why they were here. Throughout the movie, Louise would have memories of the child that died at the beginning of the movie, however, she seemed to be confused immediately after the flashback.

Diplomacy has always involved communication with other nations, we would anticipate that it would work the same with an alien species. Arrival's aliens are massive seven-legged creatures that humans named heptapods. In the film, the linguist Louise learns that heptapods use non-linear orthography. “Their written language is circular, time does not have a direction. Many human cultures conceive time differently. The Chinese tend to think of time running from top to bottom, as opposed Western cultures that tend to think of time running left to right” (Hooper).

“Interstellar” (Obst,Thomas & Nolan, 2014) a great science fiction story with so various elements. It takes us traveling through wormholes, into planets in other galaxies, and black holes. The characters keep colliding into the effects of relativity, which is thoroughly explained in numerous scenarios. It’s also a story about love and family, but there is a villain, whose actions result in shocking consequences for the other characters. There is a great deal of emotion expressed by the character, which make a great impacted on how the movie is viewed. The movie will take place sometime in the future where the earth is slowly becoming uninhabitable for the reason that of a global crop plague and a second dust bowl occurring. The science fiction movie “Interstellar” (Obst,Thomas & Nolan, 2014) does an excellent job portraying advancements in technology, astrophysics and real-life issues that could eventually happen, such as, food scarcity and catastrophic natural disasters.

“Media bias refers to the bias of journalists and news producers within the mass media. A political bias in journalistic reporting, in programming selection, or otherwise in mass communications media is an example of media bias.” Accusations of media bias in the United States include alleges of liberal bias, conservative bias, mainstream bias, and corporate bias. A large amount of watchdog organizations that try to find the details behind both biased reporting and unproven alleges of bias were founded to prevent this.

In addition, the film focus mainly on a human protagonist name Jake, and narrate his transformation from a human to an alien, which is done through a human-developed technology that injects human DNA into the alien bodies. After Jake’s transformation, the scene opens another implicit message: aliens are to be forcibly removed from their planet to create space for human activity (Veracini, 2011, p. 357). For the climax part of the film, the director establishes a passage that describes Jack becoming a native of Pandora, and the director again aims to introduce the audience with a message saying that human power against corporate force as to conserve our natural environment. This message seemingly gives audience a wonderful twist of the plot and is quite thought provoking for the audience. Hence, when a film includes well-integrated messages, it adds another layer of quality to the entire plot whereby all the elements of the plot becomes more meaningful, and the general audience could be attuned with the rhythm of the film because there is a logical flow from one scene to the next.

I think ignorance is the most pressing problem facing the world today. Ignorance has been a problem since humans were created and it’s a behaviour passed on from generation to generation. There are so many different kinds of ignorance in the world today, for one, people are just unaware and don’t know the things happening.
