AN AFFAIR TO FORGET Corporate America was flabbergasted when Boeing dismissed its executive president for carrying out an affair with a female executive. It has been a favorite topic of debate when Harry Stonecipher was asked to clear out his desk subsequent to the deliberation of the company’s ethics and legal board when they got hold of the knowledge of the affair. I strongly believe that the decision to have Stonecipher resign at command was rather tough but logical. As Boeing and the defense industries understood the repercussions of a sex scandal at the crest of one of America's largest corporations, it turned out to be apparent that it was not just the relationship but the incidences of it which potted Stonecipher's providence. The
Source 15 backs up this point; it’s message is that the media has shown the royal families true colours, albeit very bland colours. It tells us that the media revealed that the hype over the monarchy was somewhat exaggerated and they weren’t really worth peoples excitement. We can also see this in the TV show “It’s A Royal Knockout” which was a great embarrassment to the monarchy. Source 16 both agrees and disagrees with this point. It tells us that the nation was very distraught after the death of Princess Diana, who was intensely followed by the media.
One difference is that when jack tells Scratchy that he had gotten married, Scratchy was in shock and backed off without a fight. That shows how marriage was valued during their time. With today’s high divorce rates, marriage doesn’t seem to be valued as high as it was. The “wild west” was becoming more civilized and that is represented by Scratchy and Jack’s conflict. The conflict also represents the dramatic shift in many different areas in today’s society
The remake for a television movie, in fact, caused an insignificant uproar. It is a remarkable effort on many levels but did not cause many changes. The harshness is very difficult to watch; unlike how the usual films portray violence, this movie characterized violence so differently. The performances are remarkable and believable, mainly Farrah Fawcett’s as Francine. The choices she makes throughout are frequently wrong, although her intentions are correct and honest.
Each serves its purpose well; the steel frame buildings just do so with more flair. I like to think that only a good movie would still be watched after fifty-three years. But, everything good about the book is missing or distorted (plot, characters, details). The plot is too convoluted to make a movie. But the movie of The Big Sleep is still a success and, well, a good movie, just because they changed the plot and the characters.
If the movie had more detail it would be more interesting. The book gave me a better picture. When I saw the movie it confused me because it didn’t have all the parts. If I just saw the movie I wouldn’t understand why Greasers and Socs were separated and why they hated each other. I think Cherry did a really good job; she fit the description really well I think.
In Sullivan’s Travels, the montage of the casualties of the Depression that Sullivan witnesses underscores everything that the movie had previously eluded too. Like Sullivan, the audience does not appreciate how horribly that time affected people and those few seconds articulated the sentiment like no words could. The movie itself, made during the Depression, does what Sullivan realizes he needs to do—make a movie that gets people to laugh through the hard times. As Sullivan says, “There's a lot to be said for making people laugh… It isn't much, but it's better than nothing.” While in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, there is not one line that sums up the entire movie’s premise, there is a lot more than one montage to show us. The audience sees Mr. Smith fighting for something he believes in, despite everything that suddenly hits him.
The two agents’ boss was more of a real world boss as well. He wasn’t big with a belly and a mustache, in fact, it was actually a woman. She was very attractive and intelligent, which would be rather uncommon in a Hollywood film for a boss. Last but not least, I noticed the graphic nature of this film to be maybe a little over the edge, for Americans at least. Like I said before, it is a murder/rape mystery, and the director hardly held anything back on the rape scene.
While there are many similarities to the novel by Nicholas Sparks, many changes were made also. For starters, the producer, Denise Di Novi, decided to update the setting from the 1950s to the 1990s, worrying that a movie set in the 50s would fail to draw teens. To make the update believable, Landon's (Shane West) pranks and behavior are worse in the movie than they are in the novel. For example, in the novel Landon was initially unfocused, but not a bad kid, yet in
A movie does not have to be good in order to catapult talent it just have to be interesting. It may awfully compare to other films released on the same date, but it the film catches your attention it may become more than just mare scenes put together. This movie is one example of how a low finance movie can do marvelous things for the careers of those involve in the movies. This movie did great things for the cast and crew despite being so mediocre. After a bank heist in Abilene with several casualties, the bank robber Seth Gecko and his psychopath and rapist brother Richard Gecko continue their crime spree in a convenience store in the middle of the desert while heading to Mexico with a hostage.
