Within the artistic work of film, those who go to a movie theater and appreciate what the film has to offer depends on the type of people watching the film from casual viewers to critics and scholars, as well as the type of film that is being shown. Whether it is a narrative, or a documentary, people find a films strengths and weaknesses to determine how it takes its own place in film history, or gets lost in the thousands upon thousands of pointless movies.

That is able to happen by the different uses of camera angles, lighting, human composition, and the human figure which would be the mise en scene. When a much darker tone is paired with the mise en scene and the production companies, that is how Superman v Batman is born, which contrasts from how Suicide Squad is born because that film has a much more sadistic and comedic tone. Examples of how these films differ in their style of production could include the lighting and the soundtrack of the films alone. With Batman v Superman, the lighting in that movie includes much darker shades and minimal brightness as well as a very brooding and jarring soundtrack creating that chaotic tension between the two characters since there really is no protagonist of the film. Yet in Suicide Squad, the lighting of that particular film has much more vibrant colors and a large level of brightness with a soundtrack that many viewers, both casual and critical, enjoy thoroughly by singing along to the music and recognizing many of the songs since that film does emphasize on classic rock. Both of these films are produced in different styles, yet they all live in the same universe which proves to be a positive attribute to the film making
These two films come from entirely different genres, have entirely different plots, and are even based in entirely different galaxies, but the share the theme of the hero’s journey. This concept can be equally applied to nearly every book, movie, and other such works, as long as you dig under the surface and find the meaning beneath. The elements of the hero’s journey are found in both films, and with a critical eye, can be found all around us. This is the classic story of the hero; in every shape and form an author can apply it too.

Emporia State Universities Production of this masterpiece was a masterpiece in itself, from the stunningly genuine portrayal of the characters of Avery and Rose, to the realism found within the set, every aspect of the production was superb.
"There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful thananything that bleeds. Don 't wait until you break. - Laurell Hamilton" This is oftentimes the sentiment felt by soldiers who have served in active duty and have been witnesses to tragedies that leave them emotionally scarred. The Clint Eastwood directed film, American Sniper is amovie that features the real life tragedy of American soldier, Chris Kyle, who served in theUnited States military as a Navy Seal, which is an elite group (Kenny, 2014 and Treitschke,2015). His story is unique in that he himself suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD), but as he worked to recover, he valiantly served again by helping fellow soldiers withPTSD ("Chris Kyle," 2013), and was senselessly gunned

African American representation in the film industry has always been a topic for discussion. Whether talking about character types and roles, the actors being cast or not cast, and the lack of diversity in front of and behind the camera. ‘The contemporary status of race in mainstream American culture is intimately bound to the process of representation within and through the mass media.’ (Rocchio, 2000, p. 4). Any role that was to be played by an African American kept in with the dominant stereotypes of the time of production; incompetent, child like, hyper-sexualised or criminal.

Ben Affleck, director, does an excellent job with the movie Argo. Being able to find the fear and suspension in every scene is difficult to do, yet Affleck does so seamlessly. Based off a true historical event that happened in 1979, Affleck choses to pick the Iranian Hostage Crisis. He starts out the movie with some background information, so that viewers are able to have some understanding of what has happened and why this is happening. He then merges into a heartbreaking scene, where a mob of Iranians have bombarded their way into the American Embassy. Screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs, the actions happening outside are horrific. Showing the fear in every American’s eyes in the building pulls at every heart
The movie Deadpool is written by Paul Whitreck and directed by Tim Miller. The movie is about a man named Wade Wilson who underwent an experiment to help cure his cancer. In doing so the experiment went wrong and he gained accelerating healing powers which messed his face up. However he received his name from a scene early in the movie when he was in the bar. The movie went back in forth as far as memories but Wade wilson named himself Deadpool based on how he looked and the condition he was in. He gains new abilities and is on a search for the person that nearly killed him during the experiment. The movie is a reintegration of the comic books by marvel of this alter ego killer, not your typical friendly superhero. Deadpool is one of my favorite movies because of the level of action/violence, the sound effects/special effect and the good acting in the movie.

There is a system that can pre-determine the human behaviour and their place in society, but there are those who provide argument that this method of assessing the human nature of any individual is not correct. The characters from the actual squad in the film Suicide Squad (2016) are described as criminals because of biological determinism, regardless of the external factors. However, this is not an entirely correct way of labelling these people because biological determinism can also classify others in a way that creates inequality, but several scientific research has favoured biological determinism. This is because certain environmental circumstances can affect groups of individuals, which would be unfair because this would establish a view
The movie, Fifty Shades of Grey, portrayals its dominant ideology sexuality through the story between two main characters: a female literature student named Anastasia Steele, and a young male billionaire Christian Grey. In this movie, it indicates strong traditional heterosexuality, and it reflects the gender roles about submission and dominance, which leads to gender inequality through misinformation. Although entertaining and refreshing, this movie brings more negative impacts more than positive ones.
