That being said, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington follows almost every element needed to consider a film a romantic comedy. It says that the first thing needed for a film to be considered a romantic comedy is a couple that feels an attraction towards each other. In Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, it’s obvious that Clarisse Saunders is attracted to Jefferson Smith. Although, it’s not immediate, especially not for him, since he spends a chunk of the movie pining for Susan Paine. While it is not that obvious to the characters at first, the audience can plainly see it (unpredictability isn’t really a strong point of the romantic comedy).
The music also is a key aspect in the great success of the film because it expresses yearning for a unity of serenity and sensuousness, an important aspect necessary for the delivery of subtextual content. The author discusses the functionality of the camera in Visconti’s piece and how; like the other aspects of the film, certain techniques are successful in interpretation while others are very unsuccessful. I found it very interesting that the message and the overall power of the film is entirely dependent on opinion and interpretation. A great example is how the viewers and critics interpreted the relationship between Aschenbach and Tadziu in the film. Many critics saw that the visuality of their relationship violated the sense
Anaconda is such a classic combination of feckless dramaturgy and rampant excess that giving way to giggles is the only sane response. I think Voight's performance alone is absurd enough to merit the film a look. The rest of the plot is predictable, and so I won't bore you to tell you what it's about. What I will say is that the movie tries so hard to be scary, but doesn't quite make it. There are several moments when I jumped, but not as much as I did, say, during Arachnophobia.
Rocky outwardly agrees, but hopes to make his escape as soon as possible, as it is soon revealed that Rocky is actually a circus performer, and his "flying" was more like falling in convenient grace. Ginger and Rocky lead a rocky romantic encounter, but when she learns he was an act, she is frustrated and shuns him. Rocky escapes on his own, but his conscience forces him back, where he leads the chicken in a truly miraculous and dramatic escape from the farm. The main
The clashing between the trivial and the serious forms the foundation of the excerpt. Overall the entire excerpt has very few stage directions, and the actions that the characters are instructed to do are very simple and deliberate. This seems to suggest that Wilde wishes to draw attention to the dialogue particularly the humor of the situation, rather than drawing attention away from the lines by excessive movements by the cast. Wilde instead establishes the tone purely with the heavily exaggerated dialogue. Jack is clearly nervous about the Sisyphean task that he faces in trying to win the favour of Lady Bracknell.
Also, Andy has a secret agenda to see if he can put a spark in his mom’s romantic life by possibly crossing paths with an old flame of hers. Going into this movie, I didn’t have very high expectations which probably explains why I was pleasantly surprised. The Guilt Trip is far from a cinematic masterpiece but it has its tender moments that most anybody can relate to. My favorite aspect of this movies is how it didn’t shy away from the moments of sadness or regret. It’s easy for actors to stage pratfalls and speak profanity.
Cult sensations are ephemeral, meaning they are popular at the time but are short lived and will not stand the test of time. For a romance novel to stand the test of time it must achieve telling stories of love in dramatic and exciting ways at an exceptional level. A truly great love story has tension, conflict and genuine uncertainty about how things will turn out. William Shakespeare wasknown for his beauty of language, he was known to capture the very heart of love. ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is a description of love and also the consequence of love.
Evelyn Abdul Dr. Cohen English 102 11/13/11 "The Case of the Haunted Gainsborough” was strikingly similar to the previous films we have witnessed. It was compelling, smart, interesting, along with its humor and twists made it advanced for it’s time. The characters Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Mr. McGregor, and Heather each played an important role in the movie that made it relevant yet devastatingly witty. At first it convinces the audience that through a watchful eye and common sense anyone could crack a case and prove it with evidence. However, it ends with an ambiguous note; that not everything may seem as they appear.
In “Dead Poets Society”, directed by Peter Weir, the obvious feature which most deserves further thought and learning is the theme of conformity. The theme is present in the film as both a negative and a positive idea. It is generally portrayed as being a negative influence but there are a few scenes where the lines between unity and conformity become blurred. The theme is emphasized and given importance through the costuming choices, dialogue and the shots and angles. In this movie, the choice of costume is a powerful device used to communicate the idea conformity.
Instead, the story would be told in a slower pace with some surprising elements inserted so as to give audience amazement. Hitchcock’s “Psycho” plays a rather significant role in the history of the development of suspense films as it is the first film that is able to make audience puzzled until the last moment through great suspense setting. “Psycho” remained future a point that great shocks would be brought to the audience by using sharp fast editing, multi-angle lens and excellent sound track. Since then, suspense is not just something running from the very beginning to the end through the whole film, rather it would develop along with the ups and downs of the characters, the plot, music, different angles of shooting and a variety of clips. Suspense will develop from strong to weak, then from weak to strong accordingly.
