The main source of laughter in Frozen is Olaf. Olaf is a confused snowman who absolutely craves the warmth that comes in summer. Olaf even sings a song titled “In Summer”, and has no idea that snow melts when the temperature rises. Olaf plays with the concept of irony quite well and provides a source of laughter. Kristoff’s reindeer Sven, is also a source of laughter in Frozen, because Sven is Kristoff’s best friend and the duo also sing a song titled “Reindeer Are Better than People”. Such song would commonly be sang by someone who is under the influence of alcohol as the lyrics are just full of witty remarks between a man and his reindeer. Frozen can be seen as a comedy with Olaf and Sven, without the two the film would just be another princess movie. All in all, Frozen is a spectacle that should be enjoyed by everyone. Frozen features a phenomenal storyline, musical success, and humorous elements that make the audience fall to the floor in laughter. Walt Disney Animation Studios has another hit movie and soundtrack to add to the history
Lee Daniel’s Precious is a movie centered around Precious Jones, a 16-year-old overweight black girl living in Harlem, New York. The movie begins when she is in public school pregnant with her second child by her father. Because Precious is pregnant, the principle recommends an alternative school for her. At home, Precious is a servant to her mother, Mary, who is physically, emotionally, verbally, and sexually abusing her. Mary constantly tells Precious that she is not good enough and that no one will ever want her. At times of distress, Precious tends to dissociate and fantasize about another life where she is a blonde white girl. She wants to be famous and loved by all. Precious arrives at the alternative school hardly knowing how to read or write. She gets placed in a class of girls with a dedicated teacher, Ms. Rain. Ms. Rain asks each student to write in a journal every day, and she will write back to their letters. This is the first time in the movie when Precious feels very
The snow creates a perfectly eerie atmosphere of dark cold and despair, and the monsters, when they get to shine, are fascinating. KRAMPUS shows up about 25 minutes in, and his first showing is wonderfully executed with his tall and foreboding presence making a large impact. None of it is really frightful though, just kind of creepy. The parts that should be fearsome are more intense, but they are well constructed and by the end the endless bombardment of creatures and horror is undoubtedly effective. Director Michael Dougherty seems to be working with the same tools that Sam Raimi might have in his early career in making ultimately goofy things terrifying, but he only partly succeeds in actually scaring the audience.
To welcome the happy holidays, the Emojis retell the story of Elsa planning to throw Anna the perfect surprise party. While Anna is being led around, Kristoff and Olaf are preparing for the surprise, and Elsa ends up catching a cold. It's no ordinary cold for someone as icy and cool as Elsa. For every sneeze she makes, she produces a very cute
Of course, this could be justified by the target audience, as it is a Disney princess film after all. However, this relationship between two sisters is special enough to be analysed. Indeed, female friendship is often depicted as conflictive, in films such as Bride Wars for instance, whereas male friendship is made more valuable, as seen in most Seth Rodgen films. Here, the feminine solidarity is the core of the plot in Frozen, which motivates each protagonist’s designs and solves central issues of the
In the documentary “Fed Up,” sugar is responsible for Americas rising obesity rate, which is happening even with the great stress that is set on exercise and portion control for those who are overweight. Fed Up is a film directed by Stephanie Soechtig, with Executive Producers Katie Couric and Laurie David. The filmmaker’s intent is mainly to inform people of the dangers of too much sugar, but it also talks about the fat’s in our diets and the food corporation shadiness. The filmmaker wants to educate the country on the effects of a poor diet and to open eyes to the obesity catastrophe in the United States. The main debate used is that sugar is the direct matter of obesity. Overall, I don’t believe the filmmaker’s debate was successful.
Regardless of the example chosen, the film The Ice Storm directed by Ang Lee, is littered
In the film Frozen River Ray’s misfortunes affect the well-being of her two sons. The trailer that Ray’s family lives in has poor insulation, causing them to suffer through the harsh winter. One night as Ray is out making her trips smuggling her son realizes that the pipes of the trailer are frozen. Frustrated by the situation he goes out of his way to unfreeze the pipes under the house. Without the consent of Ray, he uses a blowtorch to unfreeze the pipes of the trailer. The portrayal of this scene is crucial in understanding the level of poverty that Ray’s family is deeply entrenched in and why Ray is in desperate need of a new trailer. This scene allows the viewers to empathize and justify Ray’s actions in taking on the dangerous endeavour of human
The film, Out in the Night documents a 2006 case in which a group of young African American lesbians were accused of gang assault and attempted murder. The film portrays how unconscious bias, institutional discrimination and racism contributed to the convictions of seven African American lesbian women. Three of the women pleaded guilty to avoid going to trial, but four did not. Renata Hill, Patreese Johnson, Venice Brown, and Terrain Dandridge maintained their innocence and each were charged with several years in prison. I cried through out the documentary because it dawned on me that it’s not safe for women, especially gay women of color. The four-minute incident occurred in Greenwich Village where Dwayne Buckle sexually and physically harassed
Set in 2031, the entire earth has been frozen due to a failed climate-change experiment and all life on earth was destroyed except for the select few who could make it aboard a train called the Snowpiercer. Those at the tail-end - the lower class - lived in poverty and were led by Curtis. Their primary goal throughout the film was to reach the front of the
In the film, “North by Northwest” we see a series of shots that creates suspense and danger. The point of the film is very vague and it ends without a resolution to the main conflict. The incredible camera work and techniques that Alfred Hitchcock did created a feeling of danger and suspense, making the audience want to see more. Also, Hitchcock's film main character Roger O. Thornhill creates suspense with his mistaken identity and fight for his escape. The film uses a handful of shots, for example, medium shots, close ups, long shots and shot-reverse-shots. I found particularly interesting how a handful of shots can create suspense and the feeling of danger can create a misleading plot.
The theatrical film The Lion In Winter stars Peter O’Toole as King Henry II, and Katharine Hepburn as his wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Adapted from his stage play of the same title, author James Goldman provides a fictional, but plausible, account of intra-family deceit and political conniving within the large and powerful Angevin Empire, which spanned much of the land that is now Britain, and much of what is now Northeastern France, within the medieval world. Directed and edited by Anthony Harvey, the story, set in the winter of 1183, details the succession crisis faced by the aging King Henry II, as his three surviving sons vie for the crown, and Queen Eleanor plots, both with and against them, to regain her freedom, and become the power behind the throne occupied by her choice of successor. King Philip of France patiently waits, seeking political advantage within the internal fracturing, for the opportunity to destroy the Kingdom that Henry II has worked a lifetime to build.
Sex, love, depression, guilt, trust, all are topics presented in this remarkably well written and performed drama.

Horney’s theory focuses on neurosis and the ideal self of the individual. Her theory plays an important role in the development of an individuals personality and can be applied to the film Precious directed by Lee Daniels. The film is based on an African-American teenager girl who lives in Harlem with her abusive and ruthless mother as well as the mothers revolting boyfriend.
