It quickly became a global phenomenon and has accumulated some of the most passionate fans in the universe. Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope is a great example to use in order to illustrate the properties discussed throughout the course. In this paper, I will analyze the entire movie. To begin, I will start by giving some basic information about the motion picture, such as the director and type of film. Next, I will provide a brief summary of the film.

In class, we watched a documentary, called Forks over Knives. The film, introduced to the audience, the importance of eating right. In addition to this, the broadcast centered around promoting a whole-foods based diet. I actually learned a whole bunch of mind-boggling facts throughout the movie, as well. One fact I learned, was that in the early 1900s, milk and meat were sought out as the only source of protein. Recent research then contradicted this fact, stating there are many fruits and vegetables, that can be sources of protein in place of yogurt, meat, cheese, etc. I also learned that among majority of the ethnicities contained within America, African-Americans and Mexicans are the most likely to become obese. The film not only mentioned

Can you see the signs ? The movie “Sign” is based on a small family. Graham a loving father, Merrill a carrying brother, Morgan a opened minded boy, and Bo the quirky little sister who lived on a small farm together. The film “Signs” is full of suspense and it keeps the overall audience on their feet wondering what was gonna happen next but also playing with audience mind. Signs the movie was very interesting, the way the director/producer planned out the movie was ingenious. The heroic father cares and loves for his kids and he’ll do anything to protect them from harm's way.

     Hitchcock uses misery, tragedy, and death to show the emotions of his characters. At no point is this more obvious than the end of the movie. Hitchcock spends the entire movie building up to this point and in the end he makes it extremely clear how tragedy has changed the relationship of everyone. After the nagging husbands murder of his wife has been confessed you see

Director and producer Harold Ramis filmed the infamous movie, Groundhog Day, a film based on an arrogant weatherman named Phil that detests Punxsutawney where groundhogs day is held but must relive this day for what feels like an eternity. Viewing this movie from a philosophical standpoint, the viewer can relate Phil to Siddhartha, the founder of Buddhism. Phil is similar to Buddha because he experiences the three marks of reality, and the four noble truths. Using a philosophical view the audience can see how in order not dwell on the past or dream of the future and individual must concentrate on the present.

As history records, and the movie implies, the two remaining Spaniards (Jose Ruiz and Pedro Montes, the owners of the slaves) are forced to sail the ship to Africa, by the rebels, nevertheless, they furtively steer the ship towards the U.S. coast. Everything that happens in the movie appears fairly accurate, considering the creative license of the director, up until the first court

In 2006 a movie called United 93 was released in theatres all over the world. It was directed by Paul Greengrass, who is from England. The theme is terror and is about what happened to the fourth and final hijacked plane on 9/11. This movie tells the story of both what went on inside the plane with the passengers and the terrorists, and what happened “behind the scenes” in the FAA and in the flight control towers all over USA. Already when the film was produced, some people thought it was too early for a movie on this subject and disrespectful to the families of the victims. But was it really too early after 5 years? I don’t think so. How can it be disrespectful, when he asked for permission to make this film from all the

It’s the story of a Native American woman not born on the Reservation who decides to drive from New York to Montana in search of her roots and spiritual healing after a bad divorce and is unaware that her ex-husband is tracking her trip.

The 1958 Alfred Hitchcock movie Vertigo has a drastic change in the psyche of the main character John “Scottie” Ferguson. In this movie you can see interesting changes in color throughout. The color ties into the psyche of the characters, creating a mentally stimulating motion picture. The color changes that give way to more psychologically in depth readings of the film have caused the picture to sustain its top movie position over the decades. In the beginning of the romantic thriller, Scottie has a traumatic experience that causes him to suffer from vertigo for the rest of the film that takes place over a year. The more significant events that take place throughout the movie are filtered with color changes. This begins when Scottie has his first dramatic experience. With every change, we see a specific color that indicates which characters and revelations the audience is supposed to recognize and focus on.

First of all, I would like especially to denote the reason why I chose this movie, which is called “No country for old men”, in order to watch as an extra movie, because that movie was really very interesting for watching and was very successful in order to understand well the main message or the main point of the film. To tell the truth, if we want to analyze and criticize this movie from the different kind of aspects, then we can actually talk or discuss about the different main factors or several various basic elements of the movie.

The movie the mighty duck is a very exciting interesting movie, I have watched this movie 4 times and every time I watch it I enjoy. It talks how people can change by knowing the value of their life and gain confidence. The movie is about a lawyer who was a hockey player when he was a kid and he quit because of the lack of confidence when he missed a winning shot and they lost the championship because of his miss. He was afraid to face the people around him and lost confidence and quit the sport. When he grew up he put this aside and he became a very successful lawyer. Once he won a court case and went for party and got cough by the police as he was drinking while driving. The court sentenced him to volunteer work and help the community by

Based on Stephen King’s horror novel of the same name, Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining features hallways filled with butchered daughters, and their guts and blood splashed down the hall. Horror and realism fuel Kubrick’s notoriously disturbing films and The Shining stands clear-cut amongst them. Although in the case of this movie, Kubrick shifts emphasis from visual horror to psychological fear and instills mounting dread from the sequence of disturbing events. Kubrick states, “one of the things that horror stories can do is show us the archetypes of the unconscious; we can see the dark side without having to confront it directly.” Never falling flat, The Shining provides a psychological horror masterpiece complete with brilliant acting, tight camera angles, haunting score, and unanswered questions.
