There is a fine line between making fun of or mocking an individual with a mental disability and actually truthfully acting out how someone is with a real disability. Again, Hoffman does this very well and does not make the viewer feel as if he is making fun of anyone at all. Tom Cruise also plays his role very well, showing almost no remorse or sympathy towards his brother, Raymond, when they first meet. It takes a certain type of person to be able to act that out completely and make it believable. The entire topic of the movie is a very sensitive one, so Cruise was exceptional in making the viewer believe that he truly just wanted to get his half of the money from Raymond, and not build a relationship with him.
Pocahontas and John Smith were young adults who fell in love sort of like Romeo and Juliet because their love seems impossible. The movie spices up when John Smith and Pocahontas are caught together. She was engaged to a Native American called Kocoum therefore it was tragic to find her with John Smith; the Native Americans try to kill John Smith but Pocahontas saves his life. The Disney movie basically portrays them as falling in love and at the end; John Smith is shot and leaves Virginia while Pocahontas stays. The real story did not happen that way.
Hitch was a funny movie that can be described as a comedy but also as a chic flick. This movie was hilarious and had a lot of different events that would grab attention an audiences’ attention. This movie showed various relationships and how well they were established. It also showed how effective communication can be if you know and learn how to communicate with your mate. I selected this film and will identify an interpersonal conflict that was not handled effectively.
Analytical Essay of Rear Window Rear Window is a classic movie, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, about human curiosity, voyeurism and murder. The screenplay was written by John Michael Hayes and based on Cornell Woolrich’s short story, “It Had To Be Murder.” The movie tells the story about a magazine photographer named Jeff Jeffries, who while recuperating from a broken leg, was in a wheelchair and confined to his apartment. Feeling bored and caged in by the lack of anything interesting to do, and also feeling trapped by his supermodel girlfriend’s marriage proposal, Jeff sits next to his window every day and starts to spy on his neighbors in the other apartments. One night, he sees a woman having an argument with her husband. The next day, she disappears and Jeff notices that her husband is acting strange and suspicious.

When Chewie, Leia and Han are attempting to repair the Millennium Falcon the script molds to the "report" function when describing the action of Leia's struggle to weld the valves correctly ("Han notices her struggle and moves to help her"). Choosing to write this scene with attention to this particular mode works to the advantage of the plot because it allows the reader of the text to catch a shift in tone between Han and Leia. If the script were written with the "description" mode, Sternberg points out that this would add a quality of "immobility," of "frozeness" (71) which would contradict the subtext of a relationship that is "moving forward." The "speech" mode is also predominately evident because the scene incorporates dialogue. The maintenance of these two modes in healthy distribution accomplishes a sense of "wholeness" which works in favor of the script as a narrative.
Winter’s Bone Boy did I love this film. What’s the purpose of a film if you don’t connect with your audience? Director Debre Granik grabbed my attention when the film first came on with an amazing song that fitted right in with setting of the movie. I’m appalled by the amount of talent in such a simple movie. Maybe it was the complexity in the characters and their strong ability to capture your attention with every word spoken.
John Smith Music Lessons Music in movies create the mood and over all feeling of the scenes. The music can show how characters develop as well. In the movie American Beauty, by Sam Mendes in 1999, music is used to show character development and views of the characters as well as to set the mood of the scene. The movie American Beauty is about Lester Burnham’s (Kevin Spacey) journey from living a life he loathes to coming to terms with his life and excepting it. Along the way he has multiple tests of character like dealing with his own lust for an underage girl and dealing with his employers.
She desperately clings to the ideal vision of a youthful, romantic life at Belle Reve when faced with the reality of New Orleans. Upon entering the “horrible place” where her sister lives, Blanche insists that Stella immediately “turn that over-light off” (19). The “merciless glare” of reality shocks Blanche; she would not dare allow her true body and character “to be looked at” in open light (19). Blanche fabricates a lustful, desiring character during her date with Mitch. With “the lights off,” Blanche successfully makes sexual innuendos under the pretext of an “old-fashioned,” high-class lady (87, 91).
With the addition of “cut-ins”, Griffith broke down the standard distance between audience and action, allowing a closer look into the drama of the piece and the reactions of actors on-screen. By editing shots of different spatial lengths in sequence to create cinematic “sentences” within a scene, Griffith successfully heightened the emotional intensity. In addition to cut-in shots, Griffith invented another effective trope known as the flashback. The flashback was a shot or sequence that interrupted the narrative to bring the audience briefly to the past. This confused and sometimes scared viewers, but Griffith compared the nature of how it worked
