The film that I have chosen to analyze is “The Purge”. “The Purge” is a 2013 American horror film directed by James DeMonaco. It was released on June 7, 2013, to mixed reviews. I will be analyzing “The Purge” by looking at conflict theory, class division, the importance of the ethnicity of each individual character, and the government’s overall political and economic agenda. In brief, I believe that Purge night takes place because of Conflict theory, due to political and economic agendas.
The “Bad Girls Club” display groups of women who are obsess with drinking and violent behavior to handle their situations, shining the light on negative stereotypes, defining a “bad girls” and the influencing young girls in today’s society. The way these girls act on TV is the way the media portray women as vulnerable and in need of male attention. By depicting women solely as physical objects, we rarely see them as powerful. Women have often seen each other as competition in many realms of their lives and so have become adept at quickly sizing up their female competition as to what makes a women’s woman (Kramer 210).The show 's has a foundation of seven women with personal, social and psychological problems, who consider their self to be
The movie E.T may have been one of the greatest classics ever to hit the big screen. Directed by Steven Spielberg the film tells the story of a gentle and helpless extraterrestrial that gets abandoned on Earth, the being is then discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott. Elliot becomes the caretaker of the extra terrestrial being who is desperately trying to get back to his planet. I believe that film had a countless amount of memorable moments through out the story. One memorable moment was when Elliot first introduces E.T to his older brother and his youngest sister.
Caleb dashes into his bathroom and slams the door behind him. He then begins to pull on his skin and investigate his face (Ex Machina). He goes to even more drastic measures as he disassembles a razor and induces a deep cut within his arm. The blood begins to ooze all over the sink and the floor. At the start of the scene, the camera looks into the mirror as if the audience was Caleb pulling and tugging at the skin. As he examines his face it can be seen through the mirror that Caleb has big, dark circles under his eyes and his face is very pale in color (Ex Machina). As he cuts into his arm the audience still has the same angle is if they were Caleb proceeding to cut through the skin, but as the blood begins to flow, the camera angle switches from first person to third person. Through this third person angle of the camera, it shows Caleb standing in a very exhausted position with his head hanging low and his back at a hunched angle. All of these body positions that could be seen through the various camera angles could be assumed that Caleb’s lack of sleep take a toll on his body and is now affecting his

A robot is a piece of machinery that is capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. In Alex Proyas' futuristic film "I, Robot," we notice a society that is reliant on robots, or in general technology for their everyday life. The logic driven anthropomorphic robots have no emotions and are all hard wired to the Three Laws of Robotics directives: to never harm a human or let a human come to harm, to always obey humans unless this violates the First Law, and to protect its own existence unless this violates the First or Second Laws. All the robots follow these three laws, all except one. Sonny is a prototype of the new Nestor Class 5 (NS-5) robot model.
