Film From Hell Essay

Wes Craven’s 1996 Scream was a cult classic that people still enjoy today. It was produced by 2 separate companies, Dimension films and Woods Entertainment. The movie combines all the cliches in horror movies, and it also gives you the perspective of the victims and how they would react with the knowledge of horror movies plus their opinion of the horror movies. The movie centers around Sidney Prescott and her struggles dealing with her mother’s rape and murder, and the idea of her convicting the wrong man of the murder. Once 2 people from her school get murdered a reporter tries to bring up the idea that the same man who murdered her mother might be killing the kids in present time. By the end of the movie they reveal who “Ghostface” is, it turns out

One important scene in the film ‘The Age of Aids’ is “Port Au Prince, Haiti”. In this scene it outlines the conditions in Haiti, which were very poor and it turn left the city defenseless against the new disease. In 70’s and 80’s the disease began to be seen by doctors and priests who were being sought after to cure a unseen disease which left the people with the “look of death, [making them] so skinny you could see their bones”. The scene then goes on to take a look at one of the first HIV clinics in Port Au Prince, which was opened in the roughest parts of town. One of the surprising things that this clinic found when they were looking at the patients coming in was that the mean they were analyzing had more

The movie I chose to do my movie analysis on was Sin Nombre. I chose this movie because it stood out to me the most, mainly because of the title in Spanish. I used four concepts while analyzing this epic movie. First I applied the power elite theory to see who had the power in this power city and how they used their power. Then I used the social conflict theory to see what caused the people to get into the gangs and how the gangs acted to the people. The socialization theory is shown in the sense that the gang makes people believe that they are a part of a family when they join. The last concept I used was deviance because of all the violence that happened in the movie.

The film Pleasantville directed by Gary Ross is about two modern teenagers, David and his sister Jennifer, somehow being transported into the television, ending up in Pleasantville, a 1950s black and white sitcom. The two are trapped as Bud and Mary Sue in a radically different dimension and make some huge changes to the bland lives of the citizens of Pleasantville, with the use of the director’s cinematic techniques. Ross cleverly uses cinematic techniques such as colour, mise-en-scene, camera shots, costumes, music and dialogue to effectively tell the story.

The film, “the Power of One,” followed the life of a boy named P.K. from a small child to a handsome young man. It showed all the hardship and tragedy he had to endure throughout his life. Although the movie could have focused more on the apartheid, it instead portrayed the vulgarity of those times through the eyes of an English boy. As time went on, P.K. slowly began to realize the full severity of the apartheid. It was difficult for a child to comprehend how horribly people could treat one another for no apparent reason.

Hell and Back is most certainly not a horror film. It's far to heavy on the action adventure and comedy elements to classify as a horror film. Though it does pull slightly from the horror genre, but only for the aesthetics. I would have liked to see a stronger horror influence on Hell and Back and with its tone and pacing could have used it. That said, I had a great time with this adult comedy and I'm not kidding about the adult part. Because while the stop motion gives this film a child like charm, what's coming out of the characters mouths, while funny, not for children.

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.
