and trustful nature. He is often disappointed that he is easily betrayed and tries prevent it from happening again. Tilda Swinton is ideal for the role of Hecate based on her previous role in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005). Tilda Swinton plays Jadis, the White Witch, a character similar to Hecate, the Queen of the witches in Macbeth. Tilda Swinton's character is an "evil witch/dark goddess" with the power to enter other worlds, read minds, and control the
Are you one of those people who think about cancelling their Netflix movies subscription, at least once a year? Do you constantly wonder whether the Netflix subscription is really worth theits money? In my opinion, there are numerous reasons why Netflix is, in fact, worth theits money, especially because experimental creators who will createdo movies and series that no one else in Hollywood is willing to pay for usually develop their projects, as funded Netflix movies. I’ve recently read that Netflix
In his film, Only Lovers Left Alive, Jim Jarmusch adds the unique element of vibrant colors to the vampire genre through his brilliant use of lighting. In doing so, Jarmusch creates a juxtaposition between the paleness of the vampires and the vibrancy of the world around them causing the audience to understand the vampires’ hypersensitivity. In a sense, Jarmusch uses the lighting of the film to force the audience into perceiving the film through the over stimulated senses of his characters. Therefore

Literature review According to Reilly (2014:22) “androgyny” was a Greek word which refers to “man and woman.” It composes of the balance of masculine and feminine traits (Woodhill and Samuels 2004). This literature review will investigate the reasons for the androgyny in fashion and if it will continue becoming macro trend. In order to do this, the author will focus on the culture and physiological aspects of this phenomenon both in west countries and east like china. First of all, macro trend
their non-white colleagues in terms of casting. The agents are the casting directors and white actors, who explicitly contribute to the phenomena. The agency is casting directors opening casting calls that are not accurate for the role, as proven by Tilda Swinton’s response to the backlash towards the whitewashing of her role in Doctor Strange (2016) – having told Hollywood Reporter that she “wasn’t asked to play an Asian character.” The purpose of these filmmakers for whitewashing roles is to take
A filmmaker when boiled down to his purest form is a visual storyteller, and for my money there is no better story of a visual storyteller then Derek Jarman and his masterpiece “Blue.” Jarmen is truly an anomaly of his time. A mashup of subcultures, influences, and surreal visual stylings. Though to the mainstream Jarmen remains obscure his influence can be seen in the early work of Christopher Nolan, the visual style of Gregg Araki, and the atmosphere of Rick Alverson. Jarman to this day remains
Dystopia is one of the latest trends in mainstream media. Some of the most popular movies of the 2000s are ones that explore post-apocalyptic plots. Examples are the Hunger Games, Mad Max, and the Terminator franchise. People flock to stories grappling with human extinction, social inequality, and survival. In world where these issues are concrete, people look for escape in movies, yet most fall short in addressing how dark society can grow. In order to tap into this trend, the above films follow

Judd Apatow (‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’, ‘Knocked Up’) is known for his contained and loveable comedies, but this marks the first time he’s directed a film that he didn’t write or co-write himself. He co-wrote ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ with his leading man Steve Carell, but he’s never not taken part in the screenplay of one of his films, at least not until this film. I personally walked into this film with a lot of hesitation, I’m not well-versed in Amy Schumer’s particular brand of humor thus I’m not
When he is fired from the CIA, he tells his wife (Tilda Swinton) that “independent thought is not valued there. They resist it; they fight it.” This superiority drives him to promote his memoirs of his work in the CIA, even though nobody cares about them. His delusions to escape insignificance are exemplified
The Ancient One played by Tilda Swinton, threw things off at first, as it was expected for this character to be someone of Asian descent (he was a Tibetan Monk in the comics) and not a bald, white, woman. Surprisingly, she filled the role very well and it was not disappointing. At the beginning of the movie she is portrayed as an all-powerful, sorcerer with a very long life. Mordo presents The Ancient One to Dr. Strange as if she were a god. She says to Strange, “You’re a man looking at the world
In Lynne Ramsay’s film of the book We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, we meet a child who shows nothing but hatred and malice, one that could even be described as “pure evil.” From the very start, Kevin expresses no love or affection to the one that gave him life, only an unnerving malice, seemingly unthinkable to come from a toddler. He does not push his mother away, but instead finds new ways to play with her mind. Manipulating her every thought and weaving his way into every fragile
Trains have been in movies from the beginning; the beginning of cinema itself, as well as fromthe beginning of action films. Trains provide speed, motion and power within an enclosed environmentthat impose a limit and allowed danger. Bong Joon Ho's Snowpiercer stands out as a modern examplethat follows this concept while witnessing more of environmentally-focused science fiction andeconomic discrimination. The director follows an age-long tradition to pack a thrilling and excitingmovie while exploiting
Doctor Strange is a unique movie in the fact that on the surface, it seems like a movie that belongs in the romanticism movement; but, after looking beneath the surface, one realizes it actually belongs in the genre of realism. Through the writer's creation of the mirror dimension, a place out of the ordinary is created that follows no actual rules of physics. It is within this dimension that the movie seems as though it is in the romanticism movement. One of Doctor Strange’s most prominent scenes
