Film Analysis: On Golden Pond

The Frontline film Separate and Unequal discussed about creating a new school system; however, there are opposition by others who wants to maintain the current school system. If we look at the perspectives of the two groups, it is understandable in why there is support and opposition from the people of the city. The supporters of the new system wants a system that can provide better opportunities for their children without any violence. As the film claimed “the school was not teaching and were only babysitting the children”, which was likely a reason why there was a need for a new school system. With the chaotic and uncontrollable situation in the current system, many supporters have push forward the idea of a new system in a new city. From

A League of Their Own (Marshall, 1992) explicitly characterizes an American era when a woman’s place was in the home. Even our modern perspective implicitly follows suit. Although women have gained rights and freedoms since the 1930’s, sexism remains prevalent in America. This film offers an illustration when men went to war and big business men utilized women as temporary replacements in factories, sports, and so on. Here, course concepts, such as gender socialization, gender expressions, role stereotypes, emotion expressions, and language, correspond to the film’s characters and themes.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is a musical comedy film adaptation of Plautus's comedies.Set in ancient Rome, many aspects of Roman theatre, including stock characters, were included in the film’s production.

Paradise Now is a 2-hour film released in 2005, it depicts a perspective alternative in a highly controversial topic of suicide bombers or also known as a ‘martyr’. The movie takes place in Palestine during the Israeli occupation and illustrates the mundane life and frustration felt by the main characters Said and Khaled due to the oppression experienced during the conflict. A key feature that is also portrayed is the reasoning, and almost justification of an attack on that level. However, the perpatrators can be seen showing feelings of hesitance and even inquisitiveness in relation to the afterlife that they are promised and whether violent resistance is the last option. This paper, will discuss how “Paradise Now” provoked my views and

Many film producers during the 1970’s and 1980’s didn’t attempt to create films that required symphonic underscoring, instead they produced films that were non-symphonic and utilized synthesized scores. The synthesizer played an important role in the production of Hollywood film music that allowed composers to select a more wide variety of musical colors. The three most common styles that were synthesized included modern, traditional and popular music. A few films that were first produced with synthesized scores were Midnight Express, Halloween, and Blade Runners. In Midnight Express, the score incorporated both modernistic and popular melodies that mimicked musical instruments. Towards the final cue, a ballad is played quietly as Brad attempts

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.

Many live attempting to decipher the riddle of life. What is life? What is the purpose? What makes? Even though we only seek happiness why can’t we ever seem to achieve it? When we do reach happiness why can’t we seem to grasp it and hold it for more than the few short hours that pass like seconds? The question we must answer first is “What makes happiness, true?”

Working out conflicts face to face can and cannot make a difference in resolving the problem.“These face-to-face interactions build trust, understanding, and a real sense of a shared mission, and this has made all the difference in the world.” This direct quote from Forbes.com explains how this specific way can improve how the world communicates to each other. Many people will disagree with the previous statement, but it is just one of the basic elements of the social system. Admittedly, not everyone believes in face to face interaction. People can choose whichever side they want to, but people can solve their problems by talking to somebody.

The vision Christopher Nolan had for The Prestige (2006) was to add to the outbreak of street magician film, whilst playing a large dramatic subplot equal in grandeur to the magical performances within the film. In the final sequence of the film, I will analyse how the cinematography and sound resolves the plot so that it summarises the themes present in the film, whilst also invoking a response from the audience. Nolan predominantly uses close up shots, non-diegetic sound (music) and dialogue collaboratively to convey the dramatic, personal subplot of the characters and their relationships, whilst appealing to the audience bringing forth an emotional response from the audience. The heavy, slow, dramatic atmosphere of the ending sequence uses various techniques to summarise and uncover the underlying mysteries of the events throughout the film and consolidate themes introduced during the exposition.

Trainspotting presents an ostensible image of fractured society. The 1996 film opens, famously, with a series of postulated choices—variables, essentially, in the delineation of identity and opposition. Significant here is the tone in which these options are delivered—it might be considered the rhetorical voice of society, a playful exposition of the pressure placed on individuals to make the "correct" choices, to conform to expectation.

transforms her, doing things that she didn’t know she did as well as not actually doing things that she thought she did. You can see how the transformation is make depending on how she treats her mother and her competition for the lead, Lily. In the beginning of the film her treatment to her mother was respectful and caring which later turned into physically assault and disobedience. Her split personality grows and becomes life like. The audience of this film are the only ones that know about Nina’s problem watching from both perspectives of the white and black swan. All other characters don’t see through the locked doors which give the audience the chance to figure the picture on their own, without the characters finding it out and doing it for them. Through the film watchers and Nina’s eyes, and only theirs, they see her physical appearance change as well along with her attitude. Her eyes become red and she begins growing black feathers during her final performance. This is meant to represent that the black swan is finally released and its complete form has taken Nina in order to complete a perfect performance. But Nina’s black swan cause an after effects to her white swan such as the relationship with her mother and the mental picture of her killing Lily which realistically was a fight between herself against herself. The fight caused her evil side to stab herself, which played with the final scene of Swan Lake when the swan commits suicide. The Black Swan was a great

African Americans have endured a considerable measure of bigotry and disdain all through society. In "The Passing of Grandison" the slave Grandison outsmarted his masters and his family into achieving his opportunity to freedom. In the story, Grandison is not “passing” in the way others have "passed", which means he is not viewed as white. He passes by faking his allegiance to his master, and by doing this he ends up gaining his freedom, not only for himself, but also his family. The 1934 Version of the movie, Imitation of life, Mammy Image in Film shows Peola as a mulatto character who passes purposefully to be acknowledged and accepted in society. The authors develop a contrast between “passing” in different settings through the characters Grandison in “The Passing of Grandison” and Peola in Imitation of life, Mammy Image in Film. The two works break down comparative subjects, for example, prejudice and separation of family and analyze different qualities of slave accounts, for example, tragic mulatto in Imitation of life, Mammy Image in Film and trickster in "The Passing of Grandison".
