Who Framed Roger Rabbit Essay

334 Words1 Page

Who Framed Roger Rabbit The film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, was directed by Robert Zemeckis and released in 1988. This film is quite different than the films I usually watch because I am not a big fan of cartoons, however, it was a pretty decent film. The film immediately begins with a cartoon scene full of color and disaster. As the cartoon scene ends, there is a very noticeable difference in the colors of the setting. The cartoon characters were so bright and colorful compared to the shadowy “real life” setting. The wardrobe of the actors were also very dull and unpleasant compared to the bright colors of the cartoons. I do not know if this is entirely true, but it seems like the “bad” cartoon characters were not as bright and full of life

  • The Rabbit Is Me Analysis

    1332 Words  | 3 Pages

    For the unit two we watched two movies that were made during the GDR period. One of them, Berlin- Corner Schonhauser, was filmed before the wall and the second movie, The Rabbit is Me, was filmed after the wall. Both films were accepted while they were made, but at the end, they were both banned. The general idea is, that as much as these two movies tried to follow the GDR’s rule during the freeze time, but still they were trying to show a realistic socialist society, and so that cause the movies to be banned. Life before the Berlin wall was a little different than the life after the wall and so that’s the reason that these two movies are different than each other, while Berlin- Corner Schonhauser is mostly showing young generation and their

Although it's hard to believe it's a real brain problem which effects a good portion of today's people, “Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects the way a person acts thinks and sees the world” (“Schizophrenia” 1).

  • Cloverfield Essay

    683 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have decided to write about the movie Cloverfield because the scenarios remain etched inside my head. I can replay certain parts of the movie, especially violent or gory scenes, vividly in my head over and over again. For example, the part that is the most clear to me is when Marlena claimed that she did not feel well which led to being taken away and restrained by paramedics. She was dragged behind a curtain and just basically popped and blood just splattered everything. That scene made me cringe for a few minutes because it was so shocking. The reason I think this happens is because of the gross and violent scenes incorporated into this movie. In the beginning, a group of friends and acquaintances gather together to host a goodbye party

    In the film Midnight Cowboy, audiences are treated to the very different Ratso Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman) and Joe Buck (John Voight) trying to survive in New York City with the hope of making it big. Despite their differing circumstances, both share tragic pasts and a hope for the future which is accessible to the audience throughout the film by various editing techniques, such as use of non-simultaneous and bridging dialogue, flashbacks, musical score, expository dialogue, and montage sequences. Joe and Rizzo have very different pasts which are revealed through these editing and sound techniques, yet despite their roles as foils for each other within the film, they both look to the same future and bright ideal of the American dream, symbolizing

  • Emmett Ray Essay

    782 Words  | 2 Pages

    Emmett Ray is a fictional character played by Sean Penn in Woody Allen’s “Sweet and Lowdown” film. After doing some research on the film, I have come to the conclusion that Emmett Ray was never a real person, or at least not based on a real person. Ray was played by Sean Penn, and the music he pretended to play was actually played by guitarist, Howard Alden. Alden was a real jazz guitarist, who was associated with Concord Jazz, and played all the guitar solos in the film. He even taught Penn how to play the guitar so that he would be better prepared for his role in the film. Woody Allen created this character, Emmett Ray, and portrayed him as a cocky and selfish guitarist who was known as the second best guitarist in the world, behind Django

  • Formal Elements In The Film Zootopia

    773 Words  | 2 Pages

    Zootopia (Byron Howard Rich Moore 2016) is an extremely successful film about a bunny named Judy. Within the film there are many direct and obvious themes, but a more implicit theme that I found while watching was, Our preconceived fears about certain groups as a society are directly reflected in Zootopia. I will be using the formal elements: camera angle, camera distance, and sound to argue my point. In the scene I will be analyzing, Judy just finished her press conference and claimed that all predators were savages. She gets off the podium and has an encounter with her friend, Nick, who is a predator. He is mad that Judy made this general statement about predators. Nick scares Judy and acts as though he has

  • Analysis of Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit

    509 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Tale of Peter Rabbit was a fictional story for children written by Beatrix Potter. The main character of the story was Peter Rabbit, who had three sisters by the names of Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail. The four bunnies lived with their mother, Mrs. Rabbit, underneath a huge tree in the woods. All the characters displayed the element of anthropomorphic because they are dressed in human clothing and display human characteristics such as walking straight up on their hind legs. The three sisters were wearing a pink to reddish cloak, Peter Rabbit a blue jacket with brown shoes, and the mother a blue chambermaid dress. While Peter Rabbit’s sisters were obedient little bunnies who gathered blackberries, Peter Rabbit was a naughty, disobedient and mischievous young rabbit who gave into temptation rather than to listen to direction.

  • Forrest Gump Movie Review Essay

    1256 Words  | 3 Pages

    Often, hardships such as war, separation from the ones you love, terrorism, and bullying can bring your self esteem, motivation, and even personality down to a lower level. It can be difficult to stay strong and keep progressing with the many misfortunes that can occur. Likewise, Robert Zemeckis’ Forrest Gump shows how the protagonist, Forrest Gump, deals with and reacts to all the adversity that happens in the society and in his family and friends as well. Forrest Gump is set in the 1950s-1980s in Forrest’s hometown, Greenbow, Alabama. Forrest Gump was a simple man who had an I.Q. of 75. He was always bullied by kids because he wore braces on his legs and was considered dumb. Fortunately, he was able to meet his best friend, Jenny, of whom they grew up together into adulthood. Forrest fell in love with Jenny and never stopped thinking about her even though she has taken many wrong turns in her life. Forrest decided to join the army to fight against Vietnam and along the way met a new friend called Bubba, who can’t stop talking about shrimp. Throughout his life, Forrest had achieved many medals, inspired people, and even got to meet the president several times, but in the end, his heart and mind always went to his childhood sweetheart, Jenny Curran. Despite lacking the true realities of life, Forrest Gump uses cutting-edge special effects in the plot with funny characters and its heroic protagonist to capture the viewers’ hearts.

  • Alice in Wonderland Critical Analysis

    1762 Words  | 4 Pages

    Alice in Wonderland belongs to the nonsense genre, and even if most of what happens to Alice is quite illogical, the main character is not. “The Alice books are, above all, about growing up” (Kincaid, page 93); indeed, Alice starts her journey as a scared little girl, however, at the end of what we discover to be just a dream, she has entered the adolescence phase with a new way to approach the mentally exhausting and queer Wonderland. It is important to consider the whole story when analyzing the growth of the character, because the meaning of an event or a sentence is more likely to mean what it truly looks like rather than an explanation regarding subconscious and Freudian interpretations. Morton states “that the books should possess any unity of purpose seems on the surface unlikely” (Morton, page 509), but it’s better to consider the disconnected narrative and the main character separately, since the girl doesn’t belong to Wonderland, which is, as Morton says, with no intrinsic unity. Whereas, there are a few key turning points where it is possible to see how Alice is changing, something that is visible throughout her journey. Carroll wants to tell the story of a girl who has to become braver in order to contend with challenges like the pool made by her own tears, or assertive characters, like the Queen.
