One day during class, Hitomi's homeroom teacher ends up being taken away from the police. It is soon revealed that he was involved in a sexual relationship with one of the students. This causes a lot of joking around amongst the students and Hitomi's friends. However, a video ends up being leaked, featuring a student that looks very similar to Hitomi. Soon the rumors start to spread throughout the neighboring schools. At first Hitomi's adamant denial that she is the one in the video is enough to convince those closest to her. Her boyfriend, her mother, sister and close friends all take her side. However, as the rumour begins to escalate doubt begins to form in those around her, as the constant pressure and jokes about her begins to push those away who don't want to get involved with her, while people who would not normally of given her attention come into her life, under guise of trying to help, while really just further exploiting Hitomi. This all cumulates in her making a drastic choice, which is then analyzed …show more content…
The subject matter in "The Hungry Lion" is socially relative and should be discussed more. The film exists as a great talking point for the problem of misinformation in the modern age and how it can easily destroy someone's life. Hitomi's story in the film is not unique, and it does a good job of taking a bigger issue and presenting it on a more personable level. In this way Hitomi becomes relatable to almost anyone, even if a person has not been in the situation where they were wrongfully accused and publicly shamed, I think most have had fears or thoughts of something like this happening, with the majority of people being so heavily reliant on social media. This concept is complemented by a good script that is well paced, does not indulge in sensationalism and instead chooses to build up the character of Hitomi so we can better understand the dire consequences of what has happened to
It started as any ordinary day at Fowler Middle School, kids laughing and learning. But, at 8:51 AM, a classroom of students walked into a horrifying scene. Marilyn Tokzulott’s second-period class found their teacher dead on the floor behind her desk, murdered. Despite the many suspects, one stands out above all. Billy Plummer, the boyfriend of the victim's daughter, committed this murder. It is clear that the murderer was Mr.Plummer because of involvement in previous conflicts with Mrs. Tokzullot, presence at the crime scene and access to the murder weapon.
It takes a lot of courage and boldness to step out of your comfort zone to stand up for yourself and what you believe in. This is clearly shown in the movie, Secondhand Lions, directed by Tim McCanlies, when 14 year-old Walter is dropped off by his irresponsible mother for an unannounced visit with his two great-uncles, Garth and Hub. Walter is dumped with his uncles for the summer because his Vegas-bound floozy of a mother, Mae, decides to attend court reporting school, but ends up engaged to a guy in Vegas. With the bad influence of his mother and a lack of a father figure, Walter has never learned how to stand up for himself but his uncles soon teach him that. As the movie continues, Walter changes from his timid self into someone bold and gallant.

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.
This paper entitled, Imitation of Life is based on the movie Imitation of Life. This movie is set in the 1940s. In the movie, an African American woman by the name of Annie becomes the care taker of a Caucasian woman's (Lora) daughter, Susie. In the movie, the caretaker Annie has a daughter named Sarah Jane. Sarah Jane is the product of a rape, performed by a Caucasian man, which results in her being fair skinned and able to pass as a Caucasian woman, which she does for a long time. Due to the fact this movie focuses on the themes of identity and class, I will use the following psychological views and tests to discuss how psychology can be demonstrated every day. The Kenneth
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
*Hunt for the Wilderpeople* builds on Waititi 's drama/comedy combination and further cements his auteur status. *Wilderpeople* is about an orphan boy who moves from one foster family to another, generally being a delinquent. This causes him to earn the title of "a real bad egg". The majority of the film takes place as Ricky Baker is on the run through the vast forest. While structurally different than *Boy*, both films deal with coming-of-age, parents, and loneliness. Unlike *Boy*, *Wilderpeople* is divided up into ten chapters and an epilogue. Despite this, *Boy* is the more episodic film. Since *Wilderpeople* relies more on a causal narrative, it seems more like a standard Hollywood film at first. But Waititi finds a way to make it his own.

Mise en scene is a French term that is defined as the overall point of view of a movie or the "placing on stage". In other words, it refers to the combined experience of what the viewers hear, see and think of when they watch a movie. The mise en scene of a movie catches the attention of the viewers’ moods as much as lighting, props sounds, and smells do. It alerts their emotional response system to a real-life setting, which is conveyed in the movie.
