Distinctively visual texts strive to introduce new ways in which an audience can interpret and explore the images we are presented with, which in turn can affect the way we make interpretations of situations we encounter in our lives. 'Lola Rennt', a German film directed by Tom Tykwer which translates to 'Run Lola Run', uses significant images and themes to present the viewer with an intriguing, thrilling film. Through the recurring use of motifs and symbols such as clocks, Tykwer places a strong emphasis on the importance of time, as the protagonist Lola is on a quest to find a solution that will save her boyfriend within the span of 20 minutes. In contrast, 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' by T. S. Eliot represents a narrator who is complacent and believes that there is 'time yet for a hundred indecisions', the complete opposite of Tykwer's representation of humanity's tendency to rush from one destination to another. Even from the very beginning of the film, time is the most significant element explored throughout 'Run Lola Run'.
The Juxtaposition Between Normalcy and Uniqueness in Fargo Joel and Ethan Coen are famous for making postmodern films that are wrought with juxtapositions. Perhaps it is their ability to create dichotomous characters, situations, and scenes that truly makes them postmodern filmmakers. Nevertheless, Fargo, is a prime example of how the Coen brothers combine elements that are seemingly opposites in order to not only provide texture and depth, but also create the basic intrigue that captures their audience. The main juxtaposition in Fargo is between the untraditional and the traditional. The Coen brothers’ characters are, when all is said and done, quite unique.
Many texts show a great depth in visual elements to portray their central ideas. “Run Lola Run” Directed by Tom Tykwer and “Next” by Lee Tamahori both dramatically portray our position within time itself and how much of a difference a day really makes. Although our lives are governed by time, these directors show us the possibility of time being manipulated, which makes the viewer ponder, “If only I could control time”. Time itself is the way the world moves on. In ‘Run Lola Run’, we see the constant visual technique of clocks re-occurring throughout the film to remind us of how time has a greater power over us than we sometimes realize and that we cannot control it.
Horrors and Heroes Entertainment, in any form, often has a deeper meaning than initially assumed. For instance, one might assume that an action movie would be a typical “guy movie.” Nobody would be surprised to see fights, cars, and explosions in an action movie, in fact, it would be expected. However, if the storyline of such a movie was about love, the viewer would be caught off guard. This twist is what makes any great movie entertaining; it keeps the viewer interested and wanting to see more. Two authors that discuss this method of giving deeper meanings to stories are Stephen King (in his essay “My Creature from the Black Lagoon) and Gloria Steinem (in her essay “Wonder Woman”).
Quite a cult of hardcore fans has developed around it, and for those folks, the film is essentially immune to criticism and reinterpretation. The biggest surprise to me was that the bulk of Donnie Darko is a realist drama. I had long heard about how strange the film was, and heard it described as being partially sci-fi (which it is) and horror (which it isn't if you ask me). It was supposedly a "reality-bender". I'm much more of a "genre" fan, and I much prefer fantasy, surrealism and absurdism to realism.
Laura Chen 401110597 Composition and Conversation II─ Dr. Murphy RR4 23 June 2014 Is Pearl Harbor a Fiction or a Real War? Entertaining Purpose Makes Pearl Harbor Lose Historical Accuracy There are many documentaries about the historical event, Pearl Harbor attack; however, none of them is more famous and well-known than the film Pearl Harbor (2001). When watching the film Pearl Harbor, audience can be entertained with compelling story and cool visual effects which are absent in documentaries. Conversely, Pearl Harbor would be too entertaining to be historically accurate, and it brings audience the wrong concept about Pearl Harbor attack. The film production of Pearl Harbor should be responsible for this negative result, because “most
Moreover, both composers accentuate the magnitude of every fleeting moment in life, as a split-second decision can lead to multiple possibilities and alter the course of one's future. Accordingly, the medium of film exemplifies the individuals’ capacity to revolutionize the personal world, vividly illustrating the significance of choice and selfdetermination in altering the course of one’s life. Distinctively visual devices presented in Tykwer's Run Lola Run demonstrate the conflict between the notions of fate and chance, exemplifying life as a series of volatile and unpredictable situations. This idea is apparent in the opening sequence of the film where a voiceover presents a series of rhetorical questions: “Who are we? Where do we come from?
Quality is the way the director can incorporate the many layers of music, camera techniques, and style in film. The film must also present eloquent character development and create a mood that is appealing to the viewer. Also , the way the theme is displayed throughout the movie by means of camera styles and technique is essential to the overall feeling and understanding of the flick. The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a very unconventional film about organized crime. However unconventional and strange the movie seems at first, it was a wonderful and engaging film to watch.
But long ago violent games were invented based on violent movies so if someone says it causes aggression then some movies in the world cause aggression too. Violent video games also improve your memory due to finding attacks that work best and you try harder to remember them. They also help you with map work coordinates, self positioning, knowing your surroundings and remembering that you have been in this certain place before. So I think people have their own opinions but I think I have proved a few good points and the violent games were created by people who were aggressive from the start. Everyone deals with stress and frustrations differently.
This criteria does not only apply to action movies either. Unexpected events happening are also essential to comedies, dramas, and every other possible genre of movie. A perfect example of the unexpected happening is the movie “Limitless”. This film is about a man who winds up using this drug that allows him to use his brain to its full potential. The way he discovers this drug is completely unexpected.
