A Comparison of Two James Bond Posters
‘Dr No’ in 1962 was the first James Bond film released and ‘The World
Is Not Enough’ is one of the most recent Bond films to have been
released in 1999. The two film posters are distinctively different,
which would be expected as the films were released decades apart from
eachother.
The first poster for ‘Dr No’ shows that James Bond is a new, never
seen before film as the logo ‘007’ is printed on the poster more than
once in bold lettering, and the name ‘James Bond’ is also printed,
whereas in the poster for ‘the World Is Not Enough’ the ‘007’ logo is
only used once in small lettering and ‘James Bond’ is not used at all,
because by this time the audience automatically recognises that this
poster is for a ‘James Bond’ film because formula and style used is so
familiar.
The social, economic and political situations have changed
dramatically in the time between each film was released; this affects
both the content of the film and the connotations which the film
poster gives to the audience.
The poster for ‘Dr No’ strongly reflects many aspects of how society
was in the 1960’s. The women in the poster are represented as being
‘sex objects’. This is probably because of the new sexual freedoms of
the 1960’s. They are all wearing short and tight, revealing, but
perhaps ‘glamourous’ clothing. In ‘The World Is Not Enough’, the
woman on the left of James Bond is dressed in glamourous and feminine
clothing, but the woman on his left is wearing rather boyish looking,
‘action figure’ style clothes, similar to those of ‘Tomb Raider’. In
the 1960s the women in the Bond films were not portr...

...dominance was still very
prominent in the society of the 1960’s and this is reflected in the
poster, it also proves that a sexual revolution was taking place
around this time, and ‘Dr No’ was infact considered to be ‘too
sexual’. The film also goes out of its way to be politically
incorrect.
The first James Bond film was low budget, but as the films have
progressed over the years, they are now high budget films and almost
always certain to be box office hits. The producers were also very
selective and careful in choosing the suitable actor to play James
Bond. This is also a very important factor that contributes to how
well the film will do, and who it will appeal to. It is evident that
the famous actor that does plat James Bond has to look, speak, act and
think in a certain way for the film to be successful.
When World War II broke out in 1939, many countries began using propaganda to strengthen support for the war. Countries battling in the war used propaganda to unite citizens and keep them focused on contributing to the war effort. During the World War II period, Great Britain and their allies; which included the United States and China, were one of the groups in the war that used various techniques and platforms in order to spread propaganda across their countries. One such platform that played a major role in the spread of propaganda was Britain and their allies’ use of posters to increase morale among people.
Everyone has heard of the movie Fifty Shades of Grey and how popular it was when it first came out in theaters. Lets back track how did this film gain such a huge audience? Well the trailer of the film successfully uses rhetoric to appeal to its audience. The trailer of Fifty Shades of Grey uses Kairos, Ethos, and Pathos to attract its audience which is what made people want to go see the movie.
Although both protagonists in the stories go through a psychological disorder that turns their lives upside down, they find ways to feel content once again. In Charlotte Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper," a nervous wife, an overprotective husband, and a large, damp room covered in musty wallpaper all play important roles in driving the wife insane. Gilman's masterful use of not only the setting, both time and place, but also of first person point of view, allows the reader to process the woman's growing insanity. The narrator develops a very intimate relationship with the yellow wallpaper throughout the story, as it is her constant companion. Her initial reaction to it is a feeling of hatred; she dislikes the color and despises the pattern, but does not attribute anything peculiar to it. Two weeks into their stay she begins to project a sort of personality onto the paper, so she studies the pattern more closely, noticing for the first time “a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure that seems to skulk about behind that silly and conspicuous front design” (Gilman). At this point, her madness is vague, but becoming more defined, because although the figure that she sees behind the pattern has no solid shape, she dwells on it and

The Scarlet Letter and “The Yellow Wallpaper” are similar in certain aspects, however they differ as well in many others.
While it's apparent that artists of the modern age owe much to the artists in the Renaissance, there are many differences between the two. There are some similarities however much of what the artist is expressing, and how they present their concepts are entirely different. Renaissance art appears to be more of a historic record, and heavily influenced by reason and mathematics. Modern art on the other hand tends to convey ideas, and emotions, leaving interpretation to the viewer, instead of being straight forward.
The female advert could be aimed at middle aged women. This is because it is not showing a really young person in the mirror such as a teenager, and it looks like someone in their mid-twenties or early thirties. This might make it less appealing to younger people, because it does not have the “fun factor” such as funky designs. The male advert could be targeting an age group between 18 and 30 but older people possibly will be tempted to purchase the product, as it could make men feel strong and masculine because of the design of the bottle.
Through time due to advancements in material and painting techniques combined with the ever-increasing talent of the artists, paintings representing people have become very lifelike and are extremely realistic. Some painted portraits have as much detail as modern photographs. However, there are also paintings of people that are representational in which the artist is trying to convey a message. This paper discusses the two types through the comparison of two paintings, Abaporu and Portrait of a Lady.

In three years, the percentage of nonwhite actors (male and female) cast as leads has increased. Multiethnic casts yield a better global box office in returns. Casting diversity is crucial to mass appeal. Hollywood keeps falling short to the standard that minority actors and stars do not sell tickets overseas, which accounts for seventy percent of total annual box office. But according the to UCLA study, that assumption is false. It turns out that films with diverse casts raise higher global grosses and returns than movies whose cast are predominantly white. The system is reluctant to change its ways and be more inclusive. There is no real reason to prove their theories.
There are a vast number of secular films whose main themes revolve around redemption. Because of this, Christians should not be afraid use this as a way to gain popularity within the film industry. By creating films that are not explicitly Christian we can prove to the culture that we not only understand them, but are also interested in them. Creating a film that is a part of pop culture can be an excellent way of getting the Christian message into the culture. One great example of this is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by Walden Media. This film, based off of the popular children’s book series by C.S. Lewis, became vastly popular and part of the culture. The film made over $700,000 worldwide and has led to two sequels thus far. The film, while not explicitly Christian, has many Christian themes and elements. Dr. Christians
