Introduction Not since ‘Babe’ the movie came out, has Ireland been so induced to put down their bacon ‘sarnies' and grab a tin of baked beans instead. The whole Emerald Isle has been taken in by Vodafone’s pink-pint size protagonist, Piggy Sue, to the extent that even the sternest and stoical of hearts have been melted, as the nation has watched Donal, our Piglet rescuing hero, save Sue from the inevitable fate, of ending up jammed between two slices of bread and smothered in ketchup on someones Saturday morning kitchen table. Yes, the little tale of unexpected connectivity in the most unlikely of situations has had Vodafone squealing with success, not only with the first instalment, but also now that we have added in a few other friendly …show more content…
We want to create vibrant onscreen motion, a momentum that captures the essence of each moment so that it flows forward perfectly and makes the film feel effortless, alive, and just as endearing as they are in the script. For that purpose, it is crucial that we make the set up as believable and authentic as possible in order to have the audience instantly identify with wha ́s going on, keeping the story authentic and instantly recognisable by infusing it with a healthy dose of realistic details. We want the viewer to feel that they could easily be a part of this scene, which means that everything from casting, location and cinematography should feel very natural and organic while retaining powerful visuals. More than looking for a fancy set up, the goal in our film will be to capture a special moment which every family can relate to. As close to the viewer and with a natural tone as the vehicle for our
Although the nursing profession has emerged tremendously since the 19th centuries and many great accomplishments and changes has taken placed over the years, however there were presented issues from the film “Sentimental Women Need Not Apply” that were striking to me as they are still very relevant in both the nursing field and in our society.
Environment has always played an important role on how children are raised. Throughout child developmental psychology, many different theorist’s views on how environment effects a child development differently, or if it plays any role at all in a child developing with a healthy psyche. In the film Babies (2010), we are introduced to two human babies living in distinctively different parts of the world and we are given a glimpse of their lives as they grow and develop. In the film, we are introduced to Ponijao from the rural area of Opuwo, Namibia, who lives with his mother and his siblings. In another area of the world, the urban city of San Francisco, U.S., we are introduced to Hattie, who lives with her mother and father.
The protagonists in the documentary, the bra boys' (surf gang), are presented by the antagonists (the media and the police) as a violent surfer gang. The filmmaker does this by using original news reports and police interviews highlighting that they are violent outlaws. However, from the Bra Boy’s perspective, their group is “brotherhood” who just love to surf.
The Breakfast Club is a coming-of-age movie. This movie follows five high school students who all have school detention on a Saturday morning. They all come from various types of group. There is the anxious and bizarre girl, Allison; the sporty guy, Andrew; the hard-acting guy, John; the popular girl, Claire; and the nerd, Brian. They all saw each other that way too because they were “brainwashed” into accepting that. Since they are all from different types of groups, they don’t know each other, nor do they want to. At first they think they don’t have anything in common, but as time passes, that proves to be wrong. Since they were the only people in the library, they can’t help but slowly get to know each other. This movie was written and directed by the brilliant John Hughes, who in my opinion is the “King of 80’s movies.” He has directed great 80’s teen movies like 16 Candles, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, and Pretty in Pink. This movie has mix of genres any individual could possible enjoy: drama, comedy, and even romance. The actors in the movie performed to be tremendous in their roles. The actors in the movie are known as “the brat pack”. The movie is starring: Emilio Estevez, known for popular movies like The Outsiders; Molly Ringwald, who starred in movies like Pretty in Pink and 16 Candles; Anthony Michael Hall, who was in the movie 16 Candles with Molly Ringwald; and Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson, they both starred in St. Elmo’s Fire. There couldn’t be anyone better to portray the characters in the movie than these actors.
...successful collaboration of sound, colour, camera positioning and lighting are instrumental in portraying these themes. The techniques used heighten the suspense, drama and mood of each scene and enhance the film in order to convey to the spectator the intended messages.
Thank you for your post. I enjoyed reading the descriptions of your selected movies, especially that of Lean on Me, starring Morgan Freeman. This is a truly wonderful film. The story of Joe Clark, though illustrative of a harsh method of leadership makes the viewer both wince at times and cheer at times. As you point out, “His styles might be aggressive, shows control, and seems unprofessional” (Talamoa, 2015, para.5). Northouse (2013) describes Clark’s style of leadership as “obsessive” where one attempts to “try to live up to standards, follow rules, and obey a strict conscience,” despite being “aggressive and domineering” (Northouse, 2013, p.326). Joe certainly held to what he thought was right, and did not allow anyone to
“The Outsiders” movie and book are amazing and interesting. After watching both, they appeared to be alike in many ways. When we finished “The Outsiders”, it was obvious that they were different.
The film “American Beauty” is filled with deeper meanings that lay beneath the surface. In the film a certain theme is displayed, people act differently than who they really are. This theme is shown in a strong majority of characters, whether the character is from the Burnham family or the Fitts family or neither.

The media portrayal in the film, Amour, is an attempt at specifically and accurately depicting the evolution of the spousal relationship in older age and the diminishing health status of one partner. End-of-life issues are vastly complicated, yet reside as one of those subjects that remains somewhat taboo or unspeakable. Not many people want to talk about death, but for the most positive outcomes, communication is an absolute requirement. This film is the beginning of that conversation. If asked, most people will state that they hope for a quick and painless death. The reality is that, like life, death is a process and one needs to plan and prepare for its inevitability. Amour and the trials of Georges and Anne offer observations about love
What comes after understanding how female characters are mistreated and mishandled when compared to men, is understanding how they are when men simply are not a factor. ‘The Girlfriend Flick’ as feminists have started referring the ‘chick flick’ as, is a subset of films that focus solely on women and what they do, with men not always having to be a factor (Winch, 2012, pg. 70). It is considered the next logical step in films focusing on women, and it allows us to see women as people (Winch, 2012, pg. 70). Women are as varied in the world as men are, and yet female characters don’t seem to be as varied on screen in other films, this type of film gives a better perspective of that variation (Winch, 2012, pg. 78). Women, when presented outside

Although they reach minor and major setbacks in their strategic and risky plan, they ultimately discover the culprit of the kidnappings and return to their normal lifestyles. This film recieved outstanding but unkindly reviews but it is undoubtfully one my favorite movies.
Second edition of Sex in the City franchise by Michael Patrick King as a director. The gals are going into their 40’s or in Samantha’s case her 50’s. Female still looks fabulous, but needing a break from the daily life, they are invited to Abu Dhabi to experience the newest hotel in hopes that Samantha’s PR firm will endorse it. Major part of the movie follows the ladies on their awkward vacation in the rigid Middle East and the life lessons learned there. Sex in the City Two misses the mark in its latest attempt at the box office by choosing the location of Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates, scripting a lazy floundering plot line and a movie length that could have been trimmed by more than a few minutes.
In the film “Babel” directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Chieko Wataya (Rinko Kikuchi), Susan Jones (Cate Blancett) and Richard Jones (Brad Pitt) are all compromised by circumstance. Chieko is impaired by being born a deaf-mute and her mother’s suicide. Susan is viewed as a stereotypical tourist who excludes herself from her surroundings. When Susan is shot, she is forced out of her secluded world. The gunshot not only effects Susan, but also her husband, Richard – bringing their worlds together. In Fernado Meirelle’s film, “The Constant Gardener”, both Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) and Dr Brand (Petre Postlethwaite) are oblivious to the conditions separate to their spheres. Tessa Quayle’s (Rachel Weisz) death shakes Justin from his complacency; whereas for Dr Brand, it was the death of his patients that opened his eyes.
American Beauty (1999) is an American drama film which stars Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham, a man who is seen to be having a midlife crisis and becomes sexually attracted/interested in his teenage daughter’s best friend. As the film progresses this attraction leads him to make major changes in his life in order to cope up with his urges, and thus these changes somehow helps him to manage and tackle his midlife crisis. This film written by Alan Ball and directed by Sam Mendes tries to show how the American middle class may view beauty and personal attraction. This film uses humor, irony and ridicule to show and criticize people's stereo types of American families. The film takes an approach to portray everything an American middle class family
