“Thank You For Smoking” had key elements within its plot to make its viewer think about the argument presented. Using its strengths, the creators of the movie used great amounts of satire to show the disruptions within our government. By using this satire, the movie presents good arguments about the ridiculous things that large multicorporations use against each other for reasons (such as their salary) other than what they advertise them to be. By using satire, “Thank You For Smoking”
300 might not be historically accurate, but a lot of special effects were added to this movie in purpose of adding a flavor to the screen and to keep the viewers of the movie entertained. The fight scenes are far from what you may call “historically accurate,” but that was Zack Snyder’s intention. 300 This movie will always be remembered, 300 is always going to have an important role in the history of cinematography right next to movies like Casablanca. I absolutely love the movie 300, a lot of film schools take advantage of the great methods that were used to make this movie and use them to teach their students about films. You can count on film schools using 300 as a means to teach film students for many years to come.
To me this quote showed the reader that people would use Gatsby. When Gatsby would throw party’s people would show up uninvited and I realized that even though Gatsby was “popular” he was only popular for the lavish parties he would throw, in my opinion. From reading this I can now predict that something is going to happen and Gatsby is going to realize everyone didn’t care about him at all. I felt while reading this quote from chapter 3 that it showed a progression in the relationship between Nick and Gatsby, and since Gatsby
Let’s Talk Pillow Talk Instantly, I was enthralled by the title name of the movie, “Pillow Talk”. Before the movie even started playing in class, I wondered what the movie could be about, while Doris Day sang the joyful “Pillow Talk” song at the beginning of the film. When the movie came to the point where Brad overhears that the girl sitting behind his table at the nightclub is not only Jonathan’s dream woman, but also the other half of his partyline, the excitement of the movie started to kick in. From that point on, I enjoyed every part of the hilarious comedy film. Michael Gordon illustrates Jan Marrow falling in love with Brad Allen and keeping her antagonistic telephone 'relationship' with her enemy in “Pillow Talk”, in order to convey that dishonesty can fool an individual into mistaking one’s identity as people can be totally different from who they were once perceived to be.
The term exploitation is used heavily in film marketing as reference to what a movie will take advantage of in order to be more appealing to audiences. Themes are often sensationalist and exaggerated at the expense of the quality of the cinema, effectively labelled by academics as paracinema. Many aspects of the production can be exploited, such as using violence or sex to lure viewers. Movies such as these became extremely popular during the 60's and 70's in response to less censorship. However exploitation films in the 30's and 40's took on a more innocuous role in claiming to be educational in nature.
The younger generation think that is what they should do since that is what they see on TV and the internet. Divinecaroline.com state “Reality shows have become very popular and teens have begun to realize that you can become famous just by being a bad girl, teen mom, or a crazy party animal who likes to do nothing but drink and “smush,” like the cast members on Jersey Shore.” Shows like this are giving teens the wrong idea. Why should the cast be paid so much for setting a bad example? This country is supposed to be looked up to as a great clean country. With shows like this on air for the world to see it is a disgrace.
STDs, fighting fatalities and injuries, and jail time are real threats to those who choose to live in the false grandeur of a Hollywood life. The Ugly Face of Entertainment Entertainment tempers people's hectic pace of life, preserves sanity, and serves as a vehicle for socialization. In an age of technology, however, new entertainment has invaded society and rotted morals. Television, computer and video games, movies, and others have placed an unhealthy emphasis on indulgence and violence. By capitalizing on thrillers like aggression, much of entertainment has distorted human character and promoted violence.
Hawaii residents are visiting Las Vegas so much that there is a hotel there called “Little Hawaii”. Giving local residents an opportunity to gamble at casinos would keep part of that money in state. Shipboard and land-based casino projects would increase job opportunities for construction, security, food, beverage, janitorial, administration, and regulation jobs across the state. Revenue from a lottery system could help fund education supplies and tuition fees. Tourism would increase as a result of the legalization of gambling in Hawaii, and will have an overall positive impact on the economy.
News corporations attract viewers’ attention in order to make money, basically benefiting themselves. Networks attract viewers to increase ratings, so that when they would get more advertisers, meaning more profit that they will obtain. News bias make audiences reflect upon the truth of the stories that are being portrayed. There are several deception stories in which the News denied on releasing these types of stories, but in truth, they really are exaggerated perspectives of their own. TV news simply reflects only on one side of the story, and leaves the viewer the other side of the story untold; this is the reason why TV news is biased.
Jeffery McClendon Dr. Christopher Barry Reaction Paper 1 November 2011 Movies: Good for Portrayal and Useless for Informing Movies are undisputedly popular sources of entertainment that can sometimes flawlessly depict scenarios that we actually witness in real-life instances. The movies presented in class are particularly talented at mocking certain trends we see in adolescents. Collectively, my adolescent experiences, the concepts discussed in class and my analysis of Clueless, Coach Carter and Mean Girls have convinced me that all three movies do successfully meet the goal of portraying an accurate picture of adolescents in our culture; however, I am equally convinced that it is reasonable to argue that movies, though effective at realistically portraying issues and concepts involving adolescents, are not necessarily useful for informing the public about the issues faced by adolescents today. To begin with, many scenes in Clueless do an impressive job showcasing certain fundamental issues and concepts surrounding adolescents. For example, one scene in particular justly executes an authentic portrayal of how biological and cultural factors influence the social, cognitive and emotional components of adolescents, better known as “reciprocal causality”-- a premiere topic we discussed in lecture.
