In the film the King of Kong, it is seen that there are many possibilities to creating a thesis statement related to a known film since 2007, but the movie encounters a few similarities regarding both of the main protagonist of the film. In the King of Kong, Seth Gorden used his abilities as a director to show the audience that even though Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell were or are still rivals, they still had a similarity of deep comprehensive intelligence, and the documentation of their supporters. First of all, both Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell had the same deep comprehensive intelligence towards playing the Donkey Kong video game. During their younger days, they both possessed the same goal which was to receive the highest score of Donkey …show more content…
When both Steve and Billy were in their past youth lives, they both were listed in the top 19 players with the highest scores on Donkey Kong. For instance, their family support kept them believing in themselves that they could be champions from the start. In the movie, both of the player’s family members were filmed on camera while being asked random questions about Billy and Steve’s rivalry. Both families supported them and wished them good luck through the years by understanding both players wish towards gaming. The organization of Twin Galaxies is a self-proclaimed “main scoreboard” for all video games; it is supposed pure intentioned organization that essentially ruins the movie by letting out the cults bureaucracy behind “official” video game scores. In like manner of what would appear to be the most comfortable task of putting two men in front of an arcade machine and saying “play”, the entirety of this 90-minute movie is a struggle to bring the two humans to meet each other. In reality, another sixty thousand points in Donkey Kong do not make them better or worse than the other, but Steve Wiebe needed this for himself, he needed the applause of the globe and to be recognized as excellent. His demand for being so capital is what empowers people just like Billy Mitchell. If both players have seen their own documentary movie based on their lives related to the Donkey Kong video game, they would realize they hold the same love for gaming. Gaming is one of the most common talents these two players have in common. Everyone strives to be the best, they idolize and envy those who are, believing that they must experience it all, and lead the lives normal folk can just daydream of. The adoration and respect of the public, inflate the heads of the winners, preventing them from the day of reckoning all of us need, making them nearly unbearable to be close
In basketball, the National Championship game is the dream of every kid that plays basketball in college. NC State’s basketball team wasn’t well known in 1983. Jim Valvano was the coach and he knew he had a great group of kids. When they won the ACC tournament against the great Ralph Sampson and Virginia, people thought that the win was just luck and they probably wouldn’t make last when they got into the tournament. Throughout the tournament, NC State kept surviving and advancing. In Johnathan Hock’s documentary “Survive and Advance”, Hock uses stock footage of the games that were played during the tournament, different points of view from the players, and the sequence of the documentary to prove that NC State’s basketball team were the underdogs during the whole tournament; however they were able to win despite their adversity
Racist characteristics in films and stories are something that can be perceived in this generation, but was something that was normal and expected in the 1930’s. Sexuality and raciness were items that made films a commodity in the 30’s and King Kong uses both of these to attract a wide audience. These qualities are also a factor as to why King Kong remains a classic throughout the generations.

Based on McKenzie Wark’s game theory written in his article called “Agony (On the Cave)”. Games, like our society, have its own rules that everyone should follow without questioning. Everyone is treated equally and can’t escape from these rules’ controlling power. The relationship between rules and games is also revealing in the film Wreck-it Ralph. The film talks about the main character, Ralph, leaving his own game, escaping to the “Sugar Rush” game, fighting with Turbo, and finally solving a big threat to the whole game world. In this scene, Turbo, the antagonist, disturbs the “Road Blaster” game because he envies its taking over his place and ultimately moving out from the arcade. In this essay, I will use Wark’s theory as the lens to discuss
The storyline for many fairy-tales follow the same structure, there is a damsel in distress and a hero is there for the rescue. This simple concept is complexed within many classic novels. Cat’s Eye by Margaret Atwood shows how overcoming traumatic experiences may transform individuals from their state of despair into a peaceful mindset. On the other hand, Arthur Goldman’s Memoirs of a Geisha focuses on a girl who struggles to navigate through the constant obstacles of life. These two novels demonstrate how the lingering effects of a strained past may impact an individual significantly, yet coming across their own personal saviours allows their destiny to take a turn for the better. The protagonists exemplify a common theme throughout the novels: a feeling of betrayal and a saviour’s guidance. This generates inner strength from within the protagonists which allows them to overcome their respective pasts.
*Click* *Clack* *Clack.* The sound of controllers fills my ears. The only expression I could see on every player’s face was determination. The desire to prove themselves burned brightly. I turn to meet the box of color that displayed the game I love to play. I thought to myself, “Did I practice enough? How should I play this out? I absolutely have to win!” As these thoughts raced through my mind, I give my opponent a good luck, and press start. “3, 2, 1, Go!” Suddenly, the fictional characters displayed come to life and all of my concentration switches to this game. Determination takes control over me, and the only word I can think of is “Win.” Gaming is a passion that I have had ever since I was young. The competitiveness of it is what
The Starving Games is a 2013 film directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. The film was created entirely to parody the ever so popular movie The Hunger Games. The Starving Games starred actors you’ve never heard of such as Maiara Walsh as Kantmiss Evershot and Cody Christian as Peter Malarkey. Maiara Walsh was possibly one of the only actors in the entire film who was actually known for anything due to the fact that production wasn't really that large and thus struggled to pull in anyone who had been in larger, more popular productions. One thing that was even more surprising about the inability to pull in any big names was that The Starving Games had a rather substantial budget of 4.5 million
... shadow of his narration suggests the significant influence of Joe’s bias on the manner in which the film is portrayed. The writer claims to represent the voice of empiricism, promising to deliver “the facts…(and) the whole truth” before the story gets “all distorted and blown out of proportion”, but his personality overlays the narration and his supposedly impartial retelling of the series of events contains opinions, editorials, and literary references all too reminiscent of a Hollywood drama. Joe Gillis, being a writer of fiction with an intense personal investment in the story he is telling, cannot be expected to adhere to scientific impartiality. Instead, he illustrates an essential tenet of storytelling and Hollywood mystique, the subjective nature of facts when coupled with human interpretation. Joe Gillis shows how a road can be more than a strip of asphalt.
The Lion King and the Lion King 1 ½ both operate under the ideology that hierarchy and social order structure the society of the animal kingdom, in turn perpetuating the idea that the animals' positions are, in fact, fixed. The first movie disguises that ideology under a veil of unity and community while the Lion King 1 ½ openly confronts the inequality of the society within the animal kingdom. Both movies show how social status can change the way one views a hierarchy society. Those at the bottom of the food chain perceive the the system negatively because it puts them at a disadvantage while this at the top of the food chain have a positive perspective of the system because they benefit form it the most. To demonstrate this

Kung Fury is an animated short film written, directed and starring Swedish multimedia entrepreneur and aspiring film maker David Sandberg. Kung Fury began when Mr. Sandberg decided he would give up his day job and put everything into his dream of directing a film. "So I just quit doing commercials and music videos, I said, I’m going to do my own project. I had this idea for an 80s cop-inspired film called Kung Fury. My plan was to shoot the entire thing and then do all the visual effects myself. I have a background in visual effects. But it turned out that it was way too much work and took too long and I was completely broke. I had to sell my couch and my TV to be able to afford rent and food. I was, like, at the tipping point. I told myself I needed to do something about this." (2015).
“Lion” is a film that center around a young boy named Saroo. Who lives in the Khandwa, India. He lives in lower class of India, not being able to read or write. Through the movie he is lost and adopted by an Australian middle class couple.
The Lion has long been considered the embodiment of the term “alpha male” in the animal kingdom. For thousands of years in human culture, the lion has been considered a truly iconic animal with strong associations to dominance and strength. Expressions such as “the lion’s share” and “lion-hearted” have become part of our daily vernacular and convey some level of power. Looking back in history to the time of Egyptian Pharaohs, the bodies of the sphinxes were constructed in a way that resembles a lion. Stone lions are commonly built and overlook things such as castles and battlefields as a symbol of protection and strength. Because of its intimidating size and ferocious appearance it has given the moniker of “The King of the Jungle”. Lions belong to the Panthera Leo species and belongs to the Felidae family and Pantherinae subfamily (Grzimek, 2004). Lions are also considered one of the “Big Four Cats” in the Panthera genus and are considered second in size and length only to the Tiger (Grzimek, 2004).
