Film Analysis Of Spirited Away

The reason I say this is because in the beginning Chizu was very humble and not outgoing, she seemed scared in the beginning of the article. When they asked Chizu if she had remembered the day before she left for internment and what it was like, Chizu had said "The day before we left was frantic.", this quote tells us how she was in the beginning before she had left to the internment camp. Another reason why I say that the interment camp impacted Chizu's self-identity is because Chizu had to change her lifestyle, what I mean is that Chizu was so use to making her own routine when she didn’t have to follow anyone's routine, she had to get use to getting up early and waiting to get served food. Chizu also spoke about how herself and others felt degraded. The reason why I say this is because she had stated, "In the end like today we laugh about it because it was very funny, but in those days, we felt degraded.", this quote tells us that herself and others did feel degraded. Towards the end Chizu seemed to have confident in herself, she wanted to let others hear her story of what had happened and if anything like this happens in the future generation to study about our history and our government. Chizu had also forgiven everyone who had done harm to her and she was thankful because she learned about her civil

Spirited Away, titled Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi in Japan, follows a young girl named Chihiro on an adventurous, yet threatening journey into a magical realm after her parents are turned into pigs. She forms relationships with people that will help her find her way back home such as Haku, Zeniba, and Mr. Kamaji. She also encounters those like Yubaba who try to make her time in the realm of spirits difficult. Spirited Away quickly became Japan’s highest grossing film of all time. It received many great reviews in every aspect of filmmaking. It won several awards, including A Golden Bear in 2002 at the Berlin International Film Festival, and an Academy Award in 2003 for Best Animated Film. Hayao Miyazaki, the film’s writer and director,

Any movie can have a romantic plotline, consisting of a picturesque town, a lonely woman, and forbidden love, but only one can narrate societal hypocrisies and social stigmas while paying homage to a classic Hollywood melodrama directed by a German-expressionism-influenced director from the 1950s. Enter stage right, Far from Heaven. Directed by Todd Haynes, this film, set in the 1950s, tells the story of Cathy Whitaker, a suburban housewife who seems to have the perfect life—until it starts to fall apart, and she has to learn how to keep her husband’s homosexuality and her personal infatuation with her gardener, an African American man, from affecting her flawless image and place in society. This movie was heavily influenced by the midcentury melodrama All That Heaven Allows, directed by Douglas Sirk, as suggested by the somewhat similar plotlines, but their similarities are heavily apparent in the cinematography and mise-en-scène. What makes Far from Heaven unique from its predecessor, though, is how it uses modernized topics in its storyline in order to unveil the hypocrisy of society and the Whitakers’ dysfunctional relationship.

Analytical Thesis: Get Out is a psychological thriller that analyzes the racial issues in modern America through the use of visual rhetoric: such as film noir, symbolism and metaphors.

Avatar is a blockbuster film from 2009 and one of my most favorite Sci-fi films of all time. The film was directed by James Cameron, who is known for directing films like Titanic (1997), Aliens (1986), and the Terminator (1984), all of which helped shape the film industry into what it is today. Although at the time, there was a recession and people were trying to save money, this movie became the highest grossing film in at the time. 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.

Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" (1954) is not only a great film in its own right, but the source of a genre that would flow through the rest of the century. The critic Michael Jeck suggests that this was the first film in which a team is assembled to carry out a mission-an idea which gave birth to its direct Hollywood remake, "The Magnificent Seven," as well as "The Guns of Navarone." "The Dirty Dozen," and countless later war, heist and caper movies. Since Kurosawa's samurai adventure "Yojimbo" (1960) was remade as "A Fistful of Dollars" and essentially created the spaghetti Western, and since this movie and Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" inspired George Lucas' "Star Wars" series, it could be argued that this greatest of filmmakers gave employment to action heroes for the next 50 years, just as a fallout from his primary purpose.

Okada's novels suggest that women have a bit more possibilities for female independence because women can be strong and out spoken. For example, Ichiro’s mother is stubborn and stuck on her Japanese customs she also defies any attempt to change her identity or her daily routine. She completely dominates her husband, who is too scared to stand up to her. And Emi talks to Ichiro and is able to give him sound and talk to him about his future. Women in this novel are able to express themselves and have a voice even if it is not seen as the right opinion to

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

Chikako is one of the main characters throughout this book. She is the teacher of the tea ceremonies. Before Kikuji meets her, it is understood that Kikuji’s father has already had relations with her; she is basically his mistress. This is especially exciting to her because with the birthmark on her breast, Chikako is sexless because Japanese people find it appalling and toxic. So because of this the readers can infer that she is unmarried, which she is. This factor is what mainly

purity and naivety. Oharu is blamed by her father and is never forgiven for the ruin of their

The female character, Tzu-chun, made decisions that many women at that time wouldn’t have because of the criticism and punishments they would’ve faced. She was a strong female role who was independent, educated, and had a mind of her own. She did not let her partner control her because he was a man, but instead expressed her own opinions and thoughts. Their choice to live together however caused other problems which eventually led to a breakup, but the situation presented a new idea to readers that women could take on new roles that were once never even considered in Chinese society . Despite the brutality and criticism both women faced in these stories for going against the societal traditions, resistance was still present and constructed new ways of seeing women. Lu Hsun sparked intellectual thinking by presenting different situations to his readers and criticized the societal norms in his stories. He showed some of the current problems that existed and what changes needed to be made for women so that a better China could eventually

Chacko gets to go to Oxford for college and come back with a degree giving him a higher place in society. Although the women are equally as skilled, the society gives them the job of staying at home and raising the children. One example of the unfair judgement of the two genders and their powers was Chacko’s relationships with the warehouse women. Mammachi was protected from Pappachi’s beatings, so in return she allowed for Chacko to have affairs with the workers. She protected her son when it was discovered that he had been sleeping around, “She was aware of his libertine relationships with the women of the factory, bud had ceased to be hurt by them.

The movie "Precious" is based on the adaptation of the book Push written by Sapphire. Though the story is a fiction based life of Claireece "Precious" Jones it is far from reality for many young women. Growing up in an environment that is filled with emotional, verbal, physical and sexual abuse along with crime infested neighborhoods and overcrowded public school and many other factors that pose a lot of challenges for a young girl in the inner city. Though the odd is against Precious she proves to possess a great deal of strength.

I agree with people who say movies aren’t based on real life experience, but I am pretty sure producers have specific messages to tell their audience. Movies might be long and time taking, but when there is free time to spend why not lay back and watch a good movie? Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite movies of all time, Tokyo Drift.

The Dark Knight wasn’t the only time that Nolan was inspired by art on how to express his story cinematically. His film Inception features a classic optical illusion called the Penrose staircase (impossible staircase), which folds back upon itself in space. “The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture”. Inception is a heist movie, but heist movies are usually unemotional. They tend to be glamourous and deliberately superficial. Nolan wanted to deliver a more emotional narrative, instead of the usual heist story where the hero’s journey and the heist are based around the MacGuffin (the desired object), they were instead based on emotion. Part of that emotion came from M.C. Escher’s Ascending and
