The inspiring documentary film, E.O. Wilson—Of Ants and Men, showcases biologist Edward Osborne Wilson’s passion for preserving the biodiversity of our natural world. E.O. Wilson not only values the fascinating creatures (particularly ants) that he comes across during his research and in his daily life, but he also takes action and participates in the Gorongosa Restoration Project at Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, Africa. The destruction of Gorongosa demonstrates the call for us—Homo sapiens—to realize how critical it is to concern ourselves with protecting the very ecosystems that have molded us into the complex species that we are; according to E.O. Wilson, “We adapted over millions of years to wild environments…We really need them” (CITE?). The better effort we make to understand that we are a part of this large, interdependent ecological community, the better equipped we become in not only being
The auteur theory is a view on filmmaking that consists of three equally important premises: technical competence, interior meaning, and personal signature of the director. Auteur is a French word for author. The auteur theory was developed by Andrew Sarris, a well-known American film critic. Technical competence of the Auteur deals with how the director films the movie in their own style. Personal signature includes recurring themes that are present within the director’s line of work with characteristics of style, which serve as a signature. The third and ultimate premise of the Auteur theory is the interior meaning which is basically the main theme behind the film.
In the movie Antz, power, conformity, and social inequality played a big role on its plot, characterization and theme. The movie had representations from the collectivism point of view, the political principle of centralized social and economic control and individualism.
"Realism in, art and literature, [is] an attempt to describe human behavior and surroundings or to represent figures and objects exactly as they act or appear in life" (Realism 1). During the 1840's through the 1890's realism was present in much of the literature from the United Sates and Europe. It has been said that realism is easily visible in many pieces of modern literature and even in present day films. In 2001, the movie Training Day was released into theaters. Many critics agreed that the movie was very realistic. In fact, the main actor Denzel Washington was presented with an academy award for his performance in Training Day. Training Day can be considered realistic, but many aspects of the film show little realism.
Cinema has been producing the same hero narrative for centuries. Hero films follow a ten-step sequence to properly set up and execute their story. These movies range from stories of transformations, searches, or a journey back home. Archetypes help to add variety and depth to these stories. Ridley Scott directed Alien, in which Ellen Ripley embarks on a journey where she must survive an alien who is out on a murderous rampage. Alien adds originality to its storyline by choosing a female lead instead of a male, but it still incorporates the same heroic attributes that make a story successful. In this “going home journey” film, Scott is able to incorporate the hero myth and archetypes towards the official hero Ellen Ripley.
“As actors we must rejoice in the possession of our physical faculties. We must experience joy in the use of our hands, arms, body etc. Without this appreciation and realization of the body and its many possibilities, we cannot perform as artists”, A statement by the actor, director and teacher of the theatre, Michael Chekhov. What does it mean to experience joy within our hands, arms and body? After all, joy is an emotion triggered from the mind. Chekhov’s somewhat enigmatic statement can seem confusing to actors or persons without the knowledge of his teachings. What does it mean to rejoice in the possession of our physical faculties?
The article “Cinema Fiction vs. Physics Reality: Ghosts, Vampires, and Zombies”, written by Costas J. Efthimiou and Sohang Gandhi. The authors try to explain or prove that ghosts, vampires and zombies do not exist through scientific methods and explanations. The authors main argument to show that these claim are false, they say” we point out inconsistencies associated with the ghost, vampire, and zombie mythologies as portrayed in popular films and folklore and give practical explanations to some of their features” (Efthimiou and Gandhi “Cinema Fiction vs. Physics Reality: Ghosts, Vampires, and Zombies”) Their argument is obvious that they will point out the
To conclude, the graphic novel Watchmen presents the non-fantastic representation of a superhero, implying that not all heroes are like Superman. This notion is explored within the novel by mentioning the realistic motives of the characters choosing to become superheroes, by Rorschach’s representation and through the heroic reactions of the New Yorkers to a street crime. These elements all contribute to Watchmen’s uniqueness and complexity as a superhero comic.
Watchmen is not just a graphic novel, but also a unique representation of American idealism as expressed through character image. Although the characters are portrayed as "superheroes," each is psychologically complex in that they become symbols for the flaws of American culture. Together, the characters of Watchmen reflect an unflattering image of American identity. We sacrifice morals to defend principles, rather than saving people. We sacrifice ourselves for commercial gain and for the fame that comes from the worship of strangers.
Alan Moore successfully breaks down the effectiveness of superheroes portrayed in your average comic book with his use of Dr.Manhattan:Super-powers and the superpowers inside his graphic novel Watchmen. Dr.Manhattan is made out to be less than divine. The American’s “placing our superhuman benefactor in the position of a walking nuclear deterrent”(Dr.Manhattan:Super-powers and the superpowers.II), depicting him as the Vitruvian Man and having a God present among mere mortals all lead to Moore being able to break down the common conceptions about superheroes.
They are both visions. Latour feels that ANT is a standpoint which is somewhere he can stand and ‘modify’ his theories in many different ways. However, conventional theories don’t allow this. Yes they are a standpoint, but with only one point of view. ANT might be considered by Latour as a glass box with views in every direction and wherever one may look there are different possibilities, different answers, different descriptions. It is an open standpoint which allows its actors freedom. On the contrary, Latour would see the conventional theories as a shed with just one window. There is only one view, one possibility, one answer and one description. It is a predetermined standpoint which gives the actors no room to act. If any actor can’t act then what is it? Does it exist? Do actors exist in most of the conventional sociological
The movie “A Bug’s Life” shares the story of a colony of ants that are trapped in a vicious cycle of gathering food for the powerful grasshoppers year after year. The ants become wary of collecting food and soon realize a revolution is needed to free themselves from the grip of the grasshoppers. Throughout “A Bug’s Life”, a critical analysis of character interaction contributes to a greater understanding of the functionalist theory, conflict theory, and Marxism and how these sociological principles create a competitive society and inevitably lead to societal change.
I view the “The Electric Ant” about a story about a confidence and successful man driven to commit suicide. We do not know that much about Garson Poole’s past excerpt that he was the successful owner of Tri-Plan Electronics with employees who respected him. With great success, come great confidence in oneself so when Poole found out he is an electric ant, he begins to lose his confidence as he considers a freak and a mechanical slave. Poole realizes that he is simply a figurehead for the real owners of Tri-Plan Electronic, Marvis Bey and Ernan Bey. Poole messes with his reality and collapses as his tape get jammed. After Poole is fixed, he cuts his tape and commit suicide in the end of the story to escape his reality. In “Neuromancer”, Case’s
Captain America’s creation suggests that the hero is only a true symbol of patriotism, a perfect soldier who stands up for everything The United States represent. His birthdate is even July 4th. Besides, the uniform as well as the title do support the idea of the US being the sheriff of a black and white world. The “Superhero movie” label also suggests that there is no plot, or just a shallow one. That the film is nothing more than a story full of explosions as a white American hero full of compassion uses his powers and privileges to defend the one in needs. Or just shows mercy while he needs to neutralize the threat of his beloved country.
The director of Spider-Man (Sam Raimi) has introduced the audience to a feeling of aspiration through a variety of different techniques and captures the viewer’s attention to the smallest details with great success and deliverance to become the character that is Peter Parker.
