Recommended: History of the film industry

When you watch a trailer for a movie you usually notice an actor or two that you have seen before in another movie. An example of this is the movie, The Heat. The two main actresses are, Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock, who do a phenomenal job in the bad-cop-good-cop role, but with a twist. Instead of the good-cop-bad-cop role being two male actors, it is done in this movie with two female cops who, in my opinion, do a better job than some of the male role films. The movie starts off with Sandra Bullock meeting Melissa McCarthy on a detective mission to stop a dangerous drug lord named Larkin. Sandra Bullock does an outstanding job of creating her character, Sarah Ashburn. She seems very innocent and sweet at the beginning, but throughout the movie she transforms into an outgoing and methodical detective. Another example of great acting is in the movie, White House Down. The movie stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx. …show more content…

For instance Harry Potter series is very widely known by almost everyone. The series started as books that captivated many readers of all ages. Then the series was transformed into movies to better express the books in a visual way for others to watch. Another great series is the Star Wars saga. This series is phenomenal. The series began in 1977 and ever since then hasn’t stopped growing. Everyone knows of this series because of how popular it is in every country and how universal the concept of the movie is. The last series and my personal favorite is Rush Hour. This trilogy is not as popular as the others but it is still great none the less. The trilogy began a hit because of the two actors in the movie, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. It then went on to make three movies in total and was very successful. There are certain series that we all know and love but it is hard to pick just one favorite out of all of

    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.

    In Style Wars, one sees how social marginalization affected graffiti writers in 1970s and 1980s New York. Firstly, Style Wars chronicles how the city government employed racist policing and propaganda to criminalize writers of color. Secondly, the documentary shows that newspapers and TV networks unequally privileged writers of higher socioeconomic status through front-page and prime-time coverage. Thirdly, the film depicts graffiti writers who conformed to masculine norms as disproportionately visible throughout the city. Although many writers featured in Style Wars minimized barriers against making art, legal racism, classist media coverage, and interpersonal masculinity limited recognition for certain writers.

    Everyone can look back on memories at school and remember the “problem kid”. This student may have been the one who got bad grades, was disrespectful to the teacher or the one who just never came to class. We see these students and automatically judge them not knowing the circumstances that surround their decision making. When we judge those students we don’t understand the backgrounds and the home life that some of these students have. Problems at home can drastically affect a student’s academic life and one option they are left with is an at-risk school such as Black Rock. In “Summer’s Choice” we are able to see one of these students who was written off even though she is tremendously talented in the art field. In “Summer’s Choice” we see

    Money. Cash Money. The thing that people will go to extreme lengths for, the object that will bring a person to their knees in the face of life because it has so much power and control over everyone who uses it. In the hit series, Breaking Bad, the program has a large variety of twists, topics and lenses that could be discussed in this assignment. However, I will be discussing the socio-economic lens due to the dominant roles that the producers had money play on the characters, the choices that they make and the results of many outcomes within the program while practically ignoring the main storyline of the show, which is a former highly chemist using his knowledge to become a drug lord in the making and selling of methamphetamine.

  • Analysis Of Sidney Poitier In The Heat Of The Night

    1493 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Heat of the Night is a film starring Sidney Poitier as an African-American homicide expert, who assists white southern lawman, Chief Gillespie in Sparta, Mississippi on investigating a murder of a white businessman. Along the ways, Poitier’s character is met with racism and bigotry left and right in which he endures with his economic and social intelligence. His role in this movie as well as several others, can be categorized as a biracial “buddy film” which were immensely successful in Hollywood and made Poitier very well known, but how effective is this form of film in breaking color barriers and challenging society’s stereotypical conventions? How did mainstream audience at that time react to a portrayal of a black man that is much more intelligent and economically superior than a white man, Gillespie? These stereotypes are worth exploring. Poitier received numerous accolades for his work but also received much criticism for various reasons and a deeper look into the roots of these criticisms answer such questions.

  • Analysis Of Some Like It Hot

    724 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first impression of the title, Some Like It Hot, directed by Billy Wilder, led me to think of it as an erotic pornography. However, this classic film turns out to be more than 50 years old and the era’s sexy symbol Marilyn Monroe star in the film as one of the main characters. The film, Some Like It Hot, was made in 1959, way before I was born; therefore I expected it to be rather old-fashioned, watching it in the 21st century. However, it aroused my appetite through its black-and-white effect and the tight and unpredictable story line. As for me, rooting from a different culture, recognized and heard about Marilyn Monroe, but did not have a concrete chance to watch a film that she starred in. I was incredibly fascinated to hear and watch the prominent movie star, Marilyn Monroe’s voice and appearance through the film. In the film, Some Like It Hot, I realized why Marilyn Monroe was the era’s leading heartthrob; she had a naïve and pure voice with chastity on top. Moreover, I could not believe how at the age of 37, Marilyn Monroe could boast the immense allure to the audience. Although this film was made over 50 years ago, the trump card of this film’s long run success roots from the black-and-white effect, the unusual approach of sex disguise, and the unleash of tradition or rules of a comedy film in the 1950s.

    “Film’s thought of as a director’s medium because the director creates the end product that appears on the screen. It’s that stupid auteur theory again, that the director is the author of the film. But what does the director shoot—the telephone book? Writers became much more important when sound came in, but they’ve had to put up a valiant fight to get the credit they deserve.” Billy Wilder once stated these powerful and controversial words in The Art of Screenwriting. Wilder clearly favored his writing aspect to all other areas of film, and although talented in many other respects, his films most often reflected this, with every other component of his films lending to the story itself. Although Billy Wilder is absence in the world of film today, his presence is still very much felt with many directors emulating his style. One director who has had particular success in this field has recently gained a larger fan base due to his implementation of techniques that Wilder himself loved to toy with is David O. Russell, who since 2010, although
