This animated adventure comedy was released in 2005 and was directed by Chris Wedge and Carlos Saldanha. This film has won 2 award, which include an ASCAP Award for Top Box office Films and the other which is an MTV Movie Award for Favorite Song for a movie (Mejor Rola Peliculera). This movie was filmed at Blue Sky Studios in White Plains, New York (IMDb, Robots). This film has a lot of big names in it, Ewan McGregor, Halle Berry, Mel Brooks, Amanda Bynes and my personal favorite, Robin Williams. This movie is about an aspiring inventor, Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor), from a low-income family. As he grows up he watches a show of an inventor, Bigweld, whom he looks up to, who always said “See a need fill a need.” As he sees his dad struggling, …show more content…
I think the part that sticks out to me the most is the scene where Rodney finally finds Bigweld. The new bots’ assistant takes Rodney to Bigwelds house and he finds a very intricate domino set up that Bigweld ends up surfing on. There is also another part that I always forget about, during the big fight scene Robin Williams character bust out and starts dancing to Hit Me Baby One More Time by Brittney Spears and it mesmerizes all the bots and they join in. Robin Williams is literally perfect for any role. He brings a new sense of light and enthusiasm to the movies that he’s in. Robin William is known for his imitations in movies and he has such a large toolbox of them in this movie. He does Scottish, Hispanic, a few others. So sad that we won’t have another actor like him. I think the fact that they put Ewan McGregor as the leading role in this movie was a wonderful choice. He plays Obi Won Kanobi in Star Wars so he is perfect to be the courageous leading role in this movie. There are so many positives about this movie, such as the humor and the underlying morals that they touch on such as be who you are no matter what other people think. However, there is a big negative that I see every time I see this movie. The negative is that one of the less obvious parts in this movie is the upper class just trying to completely get rid of the lower class completely. Which it isn’t that obvious to little kids which is good but the guy
One of the main products of this movie that popped out to me was the stars. They all seemed to be great actors even though I only knew one of them. For example, I thought that Ian Michael Smith did a great job portraying Simon Birch. He made the movie cute and funny all at once. I also thought that Joseph Mazello did a great job portraying relatable feelings in the movie. You could tell by his facial expressions what his mood was. All the actors did a great job and I can’t pinpoint one of them who did worse than the
The film starts with an uprising after a white storeowner kills a black teenager. This incident Highlights Prejudices. The teenager was labeled a thief because of the color of his skin and the unjustifiable murder causes racial tensions that exist as a result of the integration of the high schools.
All characters in the movie were played well by the actors in my opinion. They
In this film we see many typical high school behaviors such as cliques, cattiness, and popularity (or lack there of) issues. Many scenes in this movie have an array of stereotypes. Sometimes they are clearly stated and others just seen through attitudes of the actors/actresses character. Also through out we follow the main clique “the plastics” and they have this image they have to uphold. Be perfect, skinny, the best at everything, and in sync with everything they do; or they wont uphold their status. I chose this film because I think it shows a lot of what we have learned in this course and how it is in real life. Clearly the film is exaggerated but much of
He sheds new light on stereotypes that are not commonly broken. It truly was one of the many factors that made this film unique.
The years after the civil war left one half of America, the north, satisfied and the other half, the south, mostly dissatisfied. Therefore the last third of the nineteenth century, 1865-1900, was a time period in which America was mending, repairing, improving, reshaping, and reconstructing its society, economy, culture, and policies. Basically it was changing everything it stood for. This continual change can be seen in the following events that took place during this time. These events are both causes and effects of why America is what it is today. These are some examples: the reconstruction of the south, the great movement towards the west, the agricultural revolution, the rise of industrialism, the completion of the transcontinental railroad, and America's growth to gaining world power. All of these are reasons and events that characterize America as being an ever-changing nation.
The argument that I would make concerning utilitarianism that presented in this film is if wages for the rich keep rising it should also be applied the working class as well otherwise it is double standard which implies that the working class should not be allowed to get better wages and get a hard in life in rather than staying at the bottom.
The seriousness is enough to make you lose faith in humanity for a second, but catch your attention and evoke deep and reflection thought into the truth that goes on in the part of society that is unknowingly ignored by the population because it gets constantly overshadowed by media and the government. More importantly, the film reminds us that progress will move forward only when those at the top of authority realize they need to relate with and answer to the people who want change, answer to the voices of people those broken, traumatized, who truly need
It's just a film, and some would say that it's not meant to solve the America's issues with racism and classism. While this is true, it is dangerous for such a prevalent film like Crash, which won three Academy Awards including Best Picture in 2005 in addition to a slew of other accolades, to perpetuate that elusive, intangible type of oppression that we all live in, but some still deny. As Langston writes in Tired of Playing Monopoly?
Racism is the biggest conflict in this movie because almost every story is caused by racism. In addition, they are also experiencing class struggles. America is a country, which is made up of immigrants. If there weren’t a ...
... It states that there is different inequality socially and politically. Inequality is determined by people’s ideals of what they were taught and society projects as the superior and inferior races. This film shows that there is a way to change that if you make the other side see how they affect the people they are discriminating against.
... supremacist gang, to rioting in an Asian owned grocery store, to finally brutally murdering someone. We observe as family ties become increasingly strained in every way, the viewer can easily conclude that Derek’s racism as well as his eventual influence on his younger brother ultimately contributed to their own downfall. As controversial as this movie maybe for the offensive language and brutal violence, it is a movie that deserves to be seen, and even discussed. It really provides insight into some factors within society that cannot be contained by the law or even deterred by even the harshest punishments. Even though American society is becoming more modernized as time goes by in terms of tolerance, racism will unfortunately always be prevalent in society and inevitably it will also lead some individuals to violently express their distorted mentalities.
I liked the way Mary Elizabeth Winstead who played Wendy took her part so seriously and you could actually feel the fear she had after her premonition. Also Kris Lemche who played Ian McKinley acted the scene where they was at ‘build it’ really well because he was throwing everything Wendy says right back at her. When she tells him about ‘deaths design’ he then replies with “Ok. Ok, what if, for example, the last in line were to make the utilitarian choice. Kill themselves. Well, wow, that's pretty much gonna ruin any plan deaths put in motion. And even better, I think that's gonna save, five skipped lives. Any takers?” He says it so seriously that it made me think he was a bit tapped in the head.
For example, the way everyone spoke in the movie and so clear with the accent. As well as another amazing acting scene is the doctor self-performance surgery on himself. Then captain Jack’s speech to his crew was great acting of friendship besides a connection with crew members. As a matter of fact, the fourth most important scene was the French pretending their captain was dead. Not only did they pretend their captain was dead but played it off as if he surrenders his sword to the English men.
“We fight each other for territory; we kill each other over race, pride, and respect. We fight for what is ours. They think they’re winning by jumping me now, but soon they’re all going down, war has been declared.” Abuse, Pain, Violence, Racism and Hate fill the streets of Long Beach, California. Asians, Blacks, Whites and Hispanics filled Wilson High School; these students from different ethnic backgrounds faced gang problems from day to night. This movie contains five messages: people shouldn’t be judgmental because being open-minded allows people to know others, having compassion for a person can help people change their views in life, being a racist can only create hate, having the power of the human will/goodness to benefit humanity will cause a person to succeed at any cost and becoming educated helps bring out the intelligence of people.
