Each brings a freshness to these characters. Even though we’ve seen the same types of characters before, these actors makes them feel interesting and unique. “The Notebook” is a gentle romantic tale in the midst of blockbuster action films and goofball comedies. It could be argued that releasing it in mid-June is counter-programming at its best, giving adults who don’t want their senses assailed by CGI special effects a real choice at the box office. But you have to wonder if “The Notebook” would have stood a better chance of finding the right audience had it been released later in the year, when moviegoers are really ready for more intense storytelling, than during the crowded summer months.
Most of the tempos are extremely slow and a mellow romantic tone. There is sound in movies that are not to dramatize the scene but to rather notify the audience that this is an important scene coming up. There are specific elements that should evident, the movement and tone of actors must be believable to convey a story. After viewing trailer, two films come to mind in which the music, narrative, and structure was changed to present two very different themes, one of cheerfulness and the other of horror. The costumes, expressions and music executed, to get the desired end.
His stage performance was a novelty thing in the 1950s, with lots of swiweling dance movements that some parents and church people considered vulgar and a dangerous influence to their teenagers. He even got nicknamed "Elvis the Pelvis" for his swinging dance. Elvis also started making
Kaelin Davison Professor Ortiz Englsih1A 26 April 2013 Avatar: A Misunderstood Theme Throughout the history of films produced in Hollywood, we have had those certain fables or stories about imperialism of European explorers. They come in, plunder all of the native’s resources and minerals, and run them out of their land. When James Cameron’s film Avatar was released in 2009, there was an uproar about the movie setting up racial stereotypes. They say the movie portrays the “white messiah fable” and that the white man is the only one who can save the day. That “non-whites’ are helpless without the rescue of the white man.
The acting is spot-on in this film. Some other interpretations of Macbeth through film, or even in a theater production, can tend to be overdramatized and can really turn you off from the film/play from the get go. This is not the case in the Goold film. Patrick Stewart as Macbeth and Kate Fleetwood as Lady Macbeth speaking these lovely verses bring just the right amount of excitement and coyness to their roles. Its elements such as this that hook you from the beginning and keep you engrossed until the very end.
Governor LePetomane, not being such a bright fellow, is convinced by Lamar to choose a black man about to be hung by the name of Bart played by Cleavon Little. Lamar’s purpose for this was to make the residents of Rock Ridge leave so he could buy the land cheaper. This all back fires in the Lamar’s face because Bart, eventually becomes accepted by all of Rock Ridge. He has become so loved by the townspeople, and he unites them in an uprising to stop the evil plans of the corrupt and evil Lamar. As the movie comes to a close, Bart shoots General Lamar outside of the Grumman’s Chinese Theater, and as a final message he tells people of all color and nations to get along and live in harmony.
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”).
From the very beginning of Shooting An Elephant, George Orwell demonstrates ambivalence through his affiliations with Imperialist Britain, his sense of self among the Burmese, and his ties to the elephant. In the second paragraph, Orwell says: “All I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred of the empire I served and my rage against the evil-spirited little beasts who tried to make my job impossible.” We learn early in the essay that Orwell hates imperialism and the Burmans, already making him ambivalent. Although Orwell hates being a British official, he has a constant need to feel important and needed by the Burmans. Therefore, he is excited when called to help with a loose elephant rampaging in the bazaar. Throughout the piece, we experience Orwell’s internal conflict between the imperialist police force he is working for, and the rude Burmans people he is forced to deal with on a daily basis.
Even when you believe Macbeth cannot be any worse he slaughters Macduff’s entire family when he hears Macduff has fled to England; he said that he would “give to the edge o’the sword his wife, babes, and all unfortunate souls that trace him in his line”. Macbeth does this in the hopes that it crushes Macduff, and in turn, crush the uprising. However it ends up motivating him through the conversations Macduff has with
Asian American culture is being hurt by Hollywood as well, since they are continually the sidekick, or the damsel in distress in movies (Galang, 2003). Not to mention that hardly ever is a distinction made in films between Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Korean Americans, Thai Americans, Vietnamese Americans, and so on (James, 1999). The identity of each of those cultures is being threatened by such generalizations on broadcast news, films, and the Internet. Even though his thesis is aimed specifically at the Asian American Avant-Garde director target that narrows his focus too much, his strong research has no doubt broadened Asian American studies as a
