Analyzing The Movie 'Moana'

As young boy growing up, my favorite all time movie was Disney’s 2006 film “Cars”. The film is revolved around Lighting McQueen who is determined to be the first rookie race car to win the Piston Cup. When it comes to the final race however, Lighting McQueen stops to aid another damaged race car finish the race although it costed McQueen the Cup. Despite McQueen’s loss the crowds still cheered for him because what he had shown was true sportsmanship. In my opinion the theme of this movie is that winning isn’t everything, being humble and true to yourself is valued more in the society. After what he did, more companies sponsored McQueen on his future races. This has effected me because when I am playing soccer and someone falls down, instead

While The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters may seem of little interest to anyone unfamiliar with classic arcade games or its competitive scene, the film is guaranteed to surprise. Director Seth Gordon, in a sort of “path of the hero” approach, tells the story of an amatuer Donkey Kong player Steve Wiebe and the trials he faces in his attempts to penetrate the power structure dominated by a corrupt, decades old governing body and celebrity high-score holder Billy Mitchell in order to have his own record score legitimized. Told through interviews with eccentric, self-proclaimed “Donkey Kong experts”, the film focuses more on the relationships between characters than between the game and its players and Gordon frames the tension between the protagonist and antihero while acknowledging the absurdity of the subject matter all to the visual backdrop of a classic arcade.

The movie provided stunning 3D technology unlike any other movie and this was one of the reasons that made people want to go watch the film. From visual effects to the camera angles, James Cameron directed this movie to make the audience feel like they are in the movie. Although the film looked amazing, there were messages and themes inside the film that made it such a success. The film provoked discussions about various messages and themes embedded inside the film, such as terrorism, Imperialism, religious connections, and connections to current world. Such messages can be clearly seen throughout the plot of the movie.

    MK-Ultra was a mind control program created by the CIA. It basically works by submitting the subject to extreme torture to create a second personality, which can be triggered at any time to perform any action required by the handler. This was shown a lot in the movie “Captain America: Civil War” with the character Bucky Barnes, who was turned into a slave through MK-Ultra.

The inspiration young girls may gather from the movie poster is amplified by the text above Moana’s head. “Brave Like the Sea.” This text implies that Moana is as brave as the sea, something not often portrayed by other advertisements. “Brave” is a word often applied to males only, leaving females completely out of the narrative that they could ever exhibit this trait. However, this poster flips the switch and boldly states that a female is capable of being brave, and provides a strong example for the audience.
