From the desert to the racetrack, the roads look real. You can barely notice that it is animated. The only parts that are animated, but look close to real is the characters. The original Cars movie, released in 2006, had the high-definition display, which the animation looked close to real, but not close enough. You can also compare the display to Cars 2, which had the same thing. With the first 2 movies looking the same, and a huge difference in Cars 3, I would say that Cars 3 has the best animation graphics out of all 3 movies. But you can only say that the animation graphics can only be their best with a storyline for the …show more content…
As soon as the new high tech racecar, Jackson Storm, takes the track, Lightning looses his momentum. He has issues with his engine, a tire gets blown off, and he goes flying like a car crashing, which is what happened. He then gets fixed up, and stays inside of Doc Hudson’s old garage, and thinks about if he wants to race again, to beat Jackson Storm. The movie is, somewhat, making a comparison to Doc Hudson back in the first movie. Yet, this focuses on Lightning McQueen, and the Piston Cup league didn’t quit on McQueen. McQueen then shows up to a training facility that the company owner took the ownership of the branding McQueen has. He goes through training, and finds his trainer, Cruz Ramirez, who tries to help McQueen. McQueen try’s to get Ramirez to train in the outdoors, off-road specifically. They then go on a wild ride through different race tracks, specifically one where they almost get wrecked by a crazy school bus. They then find out that it’s a demolition derby race. Along the way, Ramirez learns a few tricks from McQueen. As the movie progresses, Cruz and Lightning meet Doc Hudson’s old trainer in a small town. He discusses what McQueen has to do to get better. They try, and hope to see what happens in the next Piston Cup race. At the race, in the last part of the movie, McQueen could not finish the race, and then was replaced by Ramirez, which she was painted the same number McQueen had,
“Society of broken promise, economies war citizens whores, political pimps leaving us flat on our backs, creating today waiting for the promise land” (Trudell). The U.S government intends on taking what they want from the Indians with resistance. John Trudell, who was a Native American wanted his voice heard. He spent a decade moralizing to stand up to politicians and to appeal the reason for why he did not trust nor approve of the political system. “The government has been literally the most bloodthirsty, brutalizing system ever imposed upon this planet, that is not civilization” (Trudell). The film proclaims Trudell to demonstrate the appeals of persuasion to reinforce the message to viewers exposing the mistrust upon Trudell and government officials, which, consequently, manipulates the viewer to question whether the government is full of broken promises or want to acquire ultimate control over society associating with the American Indians utilizing the land and their
Many people who grew up in 1960s and 70s with watching the Japanese animated television series by Tatsuo Yoshida would be very familiar with Speed Racer by Andy and Larry Wachowski in 2008 (American Film Institute Catalog, 2008). As a big hit in the summer of 2008, Speed Racer was considered as a box office bomb because it failed to break even at the box office and received generally negative reviews from film critics such as A.O. Scott and Jim Emerson. The Wachowski brothers were criticized in the conventional sense of cinema; however, it did succeed in its technological innovation and digital novelty (Emerson, 2008). As the rise of subculture in the American popular culture, Speed Racer did appear to satisfy and entertain the certain group of people who enthusiastic about the film including fans of Wachowski and gamers. Therefore, this refers to the reading of a film. Different approaches to read a film will result in different perceptions and conclusions. The French New Wave director Francois Truffaut argued that the authorship should be presented in the works of the best filmmakers. Nonetheless, this essay will focus on why the semiotic approach to read a film offers a better way to understand the American popular culture than the auteur theory even the semiotic theory may contain bias sometimes.

It was incredibly difficult to not to pick one of my favorite films for this project, such as A Clockwork Orange, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, and Jaws. However, I went out of my comfort zone and picked a genre of film I’ve never become familiar with- Western. The 1974 film Blazing Saddles was a hilarious frontier/Wild West twist about road worker named Bart, played by Cleavon Little, becoming part of character Hedley Lamarr’s (Harvey Korman) evil plan to out-run the small town of Rock Ridge by appointing an African American sheriff to the massly single-minded small town of racist’s. With the plan to destroy the town to make way for a new railroad, Lamarr is convinced that they town would be so appalled that they wouldn’t stand having an
The Motorcycle Diaries, directed by Walter Salles, shows the issue of segregation and how it is more than just a problem of the classes. Segregation has always been a problem since the early sixteenth century when Spain arrived and conquered parts of both North and South America. Segregation usually occurred in the class system, but it expanded in South America and became a much larger issue. In the movie segregation in South America is seen in various ways, economically, socially, and medically.
In my research I came upon an interesting trend in nearly every review for movies produced by Simpson and Bruckheimer. Most critics tend not to criticize their films for their merits (be it artistic or visceral), but instead critique the producers themselves.
Freedom is a deeply ingrained ideal that is valued in Western culture; as defined, freedom is the absence of necessity, coercion, or restraint in choice or action. Because the concept of freedom is almost innate within our subconscious, not many people can easily convey what freedom means; however, because of this, references and allusions to the various aspects of freedom color our perspective, speech, and actions. Because it is pervasive throughout our society; its value is often reflected in our media through print, television,the internet, and more specifically, music.”Intro” to 2014 Forest Hills Drive by J Cole, released in 2014 on his album , 2014 Forest Hills Drive, explores what it means to free in the present day; because of its
I am writing a film review on the 1976, classic movie Rocky. In this review I will explore the main character Rocky, along with secondary characters Adrian, Pauley, and Mick. I will compare Rocky’s self-concept and self-esteem to the secondary characters. Identify whether the characters are nourishing or noxious individuals. Finally, we will describe how the main character is perceived by other characters.
The movie Crash follows the lives of several different people living in Los Angeles within a two day span. Each character faces different conflicts in their daily life majority of them being caused by racism. The characters of the movie all have separate stories, but each story will connect them with another person in the movie. Some people are discriminated against because of their race but also say racially insensitive comments towards another person in the movie. The main issue explored in Crash is the racism people deal with in their day to day life. Almost every character is either a victim to racism or prejudiced.
As a fan of cinema, I was excited to do this project on what I had remembered as a touching portrait on racism in our modern society. Writer/Director Paul Haggis deliberately depicts his characters in Crash within the context of many typical ethnic stereotypes that exist in our world today -- a "gangbanger" Latino with a shaved head and tattoos, an upper-class white woman who is discomforted by the sight of two young Black kids, and so on -- and causes them to rethink their own prejudices during their "crash moment" when they realize the racism that exists within themselves.
“Crash” by Paul Haggis is a story that follows the lives of several people over a 36 hour time period. It followed how race and discrimination affected these people 's lives throughout Los Angeles and how each of them were intertwined in some way, shape, or form. This was my first time viewing the film and I actually really enjoyed it. I felt as if it was pulling at my emotional side while also being suspenseful. I really appreciated how it followed the lives of very different people and I think that the director did a really good job of portraying how racial discrimination affects people’s everyday lives. I usually watch boring movies in my classes, however, I was really interested in finishing this one.
In life many people are hurt or “damaged” and need to find a way to heal. The characters in the movie “Crash” experienced a lot of hurt and some realizing that they did not even know they were hurt to a major event happened.
I have chosen to review the film Boyhood written by Richard Linklater that took twelve years to film. In the movie Boyhood, it illustrates the life of a boy named Mason Jr. through the many stages of his childhood to adolescence to becoming an adult. The movie follows Mason Jr.’s life through his years of kindergarten, middle school, high school, and to college. Through these milestones in his life encounters society with socialization, culture and norms that are exhibited through his family, friends, and others. With factors of social classes, and gender that influence Mason Jr. as he grows and fits into the society that is formed. From the events and milestones in Boyhood, it is able to show human behaviour in society from our
The ‘Motorcycle Diaries’ transforms the concept of discovery through Che’s indefatigable nature, thus leading to a new profound dimension of discovery, that was once left hidden; revealing both threatening and polarizing ideas, leading to a provocative change of thought about our society. Che has revealed these new dimensions of discovery within the text’s vignettes. Che has revealed that the Ocean has a metaphorical connotation for infinite discoveries, enveloping Alberto and himself, leading to new ‘self discoveries’. He shows how the ‘conquerors’ have ‘defeated’ many of the Native South American Empires, referring to the Aymara people frequently has ‘defeated by history’. These ideas thus lead to Che’s final realization for his kismet, that
